The pursuit against modified cars is such bullsh*t these days.

Everything that is not stock is basically banned or within stupid limits. I mean what do they all expect us to do, buy a Ferrari or other high powered sports cars that can reach ridiculous speed heights anyway? And yet we get into trouble for changing the way our air is collected through our system, making our car "shiny" or the height of our ride among countless others, its just beyond to joke.

I mean ordinary car enthusiasts, who don't street race, can't even have a nice car these days.

Comments such as these "keep the mods within the legal limits and you'll be fine" doesn't mean that you won't be relentlessly hassled by the police or any type of media trying to wreck our hobby. This to, will soon be non-existent, because the way lawmakers are going, the complete ban on customizing a vehicle is on the horizon.

I for one believe that if you are going to modify your car, you should pay a yearly fee or tax estimated by the amount of horsepower output you have (that should make some happy) and then do whatever you like to it (because it's our money that are being spent on our cars, not anyone else s).

Because the police have, and will have high tech equipment that will catch anyone doing the wrong thing, because I'm sure in the future the speeds of our cars on highways etc... will be monitored by advanced satellites.

I mean what has happen to the thought that they are one of human's greatest ever achievement instead of some ruthless killing machine.

But what i am thinking, that's a perfect world that will never exist. :laugh:

    • 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.
