Na you wont get fined if u extended ur yellow stickers, thats all u need to do. I try that on my wrex few yrs back, the cops cant do nothing about it when u got yellow.

Yes, pay just over $80 the first time, then just over $50 each time after that. I got my yellow mid-august & have had 5 inspections in total. I would much rather have been able to use that $300 for something else.

Oh, and then end up like me on the 22nd as I'm on my final extension, after which it will be illegal to drive my car on the road. Apparently I wasn't even meant to be given this one, so if you want to a rebel & have a sticker on for 4 inspections over a few months instead of just clearing it go for it.

Got the yellow, had an inspection with a list of things to be fixed up & that included getting permits (mostly due to the turbo). Applied, 3 weeks later get a letter saying application is rejected. So I had to re-apply, 4 weeks later I got a pre-approval letter. (another couple of weeks in between this while I got the car sorted with changing some things over) Got all the stuff done for engineering & then was being told the emissions test I had done weren't what they required & they left it up to me to find out what was. This was just before xmas & new years where everyone is on holidays, so I lost a couple of weeks there. Then I find out from a guy at vehicle safety that what I have is correct for the emissions report, so I lost 2-3 weeks when I could have handed it all in. That went in the week just gone so will hopefully hear back in a couple of weeks time depending on what sort of backlog they have at the moment. Then I can take it over for permits & be done with it.

Oh and for the last few months my car has been de-tuned to 50% power so it's not even fun to drive :D

Lol... but i didnt get charge for that much because the inspection guy said no point to keep coming here so he gave me 2 months extended twice for the yellow so the cops wont be bother about it. So i just leave it :D I only got the yellow for stupid tint anyway and all the modification already got permit for it.

they don't have to give you extensions, otherwise they would just give you x amount of weeks to begin with.

also, just because you already have a work order, doesnt mean it cant be added too. :P

Yeah isn't the maximum extension 14days? How did you get 2 months?

Oh, and how about actually getting the yellow removed in the end? After the unbelievable 2month extension? There IS a timelimit to getting it fixed you know....

Sorry guys i cant be able to tell u guys his name because his my friend friends, hope u guys understand. I been seen him for 4-5 yrs now everytime when i get yellow. Thats why he know me and my cars very well. I got pull over few times when i got yellow on the car for 2 months, the cop didnt do nothing about it when they saw the yellow. Worst to worst if i got the yellow i dont really cared so the cops wont be so annoying. The way i see it even u got permit for it they will just pick u anything to gave u a yellow, that how i see from my point anyway. Oh and the 2 month extension, I take out the dark tint on the window after 2 month thats how i get it off.

do tell which pits/inspector ;)

Midland pits, older big jolly (read: beergut) guy, can't remember his name but he was rather sympathetic to our cause and complimented me on the car and all skylines in general.

Yeah I got 3 3-week extensions from Welshpool & Midland, and a 4 week extension from O'Connor. They are inconsistent as f**k in regards to everything that they do.

      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.
