Hey guys, can you throw some ideas at me in terms of what I should try and ask for my Birthday. Nothing too unrealistic. I'm not really into ipods or game consoles or any fad like stuff. So what is out there that would be a good idea? Cause at the moment I was just thinking clothes, because, I don't really care that much. But parents and friends keep saying "naaaah" it's your 18th, needs to be something special.. So.. any ideas guys?

I think I got a diff for my 18th.

I also got a some really good quality towels which I didn't appreciate much at the time but I've still got them and most certainly do now.

A party to remember is always good, with people you didn't expect to be there like interstate friends etc.

What do you like doing?

Working on your car? Some good quality tools last a lifetime and don't go when you crash/sell your car. (like my diff)

Eating? Get a bbq or a nice thai girl. :D

Like art? An etching or high quality print framed nicely. Even if you only 'don't know art but know what you like' there is usually something out there to be found if you look.

Travel? A super quality globe that spins and lights up and stuff.

A guitar.

A coffee table that every visitor wants to take home with them.

That tools idea is pretty good.. I just had this super cheap auto one, screw driver snapped when I tried to unscrew one of the bolts holding down my air box..

Have the HSC on.. 2 exams after my birthday.. Can't drink or do much like getting messy.

That sucks, lucky mine was at the start of the, year. Theres a few of us here on SAU sitting the HSC.

As for your 18th, i to got sick of the question, what do you want, what do you want, but then again you have to think of it as, hey these ppl are wanting to shower me with gifts =) i should get annoyed.

Hmmm if you have a party most ppl (like not your close mates) will part with $30, so just ask for liquar land valchours, or repco or somthing, thats what i got, or better still.

Just ask for case's of beer, or bottles of spirts, it can never hurt to stock up, regardless if your going to be able to drink them in the next few weeks.

Hookers and crack. Lots of crack.

Seriously though? About $700 of keg beers (you can rent them) then a BBQ with heaps of meat - then invite everyone you know and stop when the supplies are gone. You wont forget it

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
