God am I the first? Dubious honour

Slid gently into gutter, mashed both nearside mags and bent control arm......Oh sh**.

Rims... $938.00 rear and $890 front! (Claiming on ins)

There goes eastern creek hopes...shame.

Parts in Japan duuuh 4 week wait.....

Anyone selling car DVD and small screen?

I thought only about $800 to $1000.00 all up second hand.

I actually want sat nav but too exy at present........I need a very small screen to fit in custom 'hole' in dash approx 5" X 4" external.

There are some available at Auto Barn for between $300 to $700 for screen and player $550. I guess thats OK for new anyway (plus install)

Be good to get a screen good enough to take sat nav if I buy the CD bit later.

Sorry I think Kel off here beat you to that honour :D

Thanks for pointing that out Dan :Oops:

Yep, hate to claim that dubious honor, but a ripple strip and I had a meeting at Eastern Creek last year, resulting in that very same damage.

Just don't tell Nissan :P

Before she went on to wreck Duncan's GTR32 engine at the Creek. Woman's a mobile disaster :D

All lies Geoff!

It was the crazy woman driver in Japan who hadn't heard of the words "oil change" and "regular servicing" that I blame.

Plus, thanks to family law, half of teh GTR is mine :P

      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.
