Nice R Jarred but you do realise that when you own an import you are forbidden to park any closer than 30cm to the curb so you never risk scratching your rims.

I will forgive this 1st offence but please be mindful of your proximity next time you park your car.

Thanks dude. But seeing as I've come from a 32 with the rims extremely hanging out of the guards I'm pretty careful when approaching gutters.

Mod list to check off in the next 6 months.

Kakimoto Regu 06

Tein super street coilovers

18x10+12 TE37

New air intake (can't even hear my BOV :laugh: )

Got the car back after getting the hubs painted and the calipers powder coated... also had my spoiler mounted again and took the front spoiler lip to get prepped for the riverland show... some pix

Well I just got defected. Done for cage, suspension, steering wheel. First defect on the car ever. Off to regency I go :laugh:

I feel your pain i got done last month they said my steering wheel was to small aswell but its withing the requirements...

So you are actually going to have the front lip on it? Thought you took it off because its only for "track cars"

no i took it off because i kept scraping driveways and speed humps and the like and i was damaging the shit out of it

as it is I had to get it bogged and sanded in many places

its going on for the riverland show, and then it'll come straight off until I can get some replacement suspension that increases my ride height by at least a cm if not 2

Your ride height is far from low

    • 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.
