I strongly suggest that you ask the same question on antilag. They might be able to help you out.

I don't follow. I get the joke, but I haven't been on antilag forums to know how they would handle the question, can you please elaborate?

Methinks you need to consider your comments more carefully before hitting the send button.

Show me an image of your car and I will single something out and tell you it looks disgusting and you should burn your car for it. f**k head.

We all had to start somewhere, and I am sure you asked some stupid questions as well. I didn't purposely set myself up to look like a tool. How else are you supposed to learn if you don't ask questions? You do know f**k all, cause if you had any intelligence at all you would have realized that.

Perhaps also you need to be less touchy. If you had spent a little longer reviewing other posts, you would have observed that asking any question where you demonstrate little knowledge or effort to find the answer yourself is likely to be given short shrift. Such threads have often been stopped dead after two posts by a moderator with the pithy line "Use the search button". I am sure, that as someone from the Google Generation, you can come up with a search expression that would reap dividends on this forum - because it has all been answered before.

In addiiton, as someone who has been on the forum for little more than a year, you might also pay a bit more attention to the advice offered by those who have been here for 5 times as long. Your question demonstrated not just lack of knowledge but also naivety. Your responses compounded this and I suspect that your thread only remains open for a short while for entertainment value!

In case you haven't got the message, in summary, there is no way to get permission for illegal mods. The Engineer's Certificate provides a means of gaining permission for a heavily modified car that has gone beyond the variations allowed to the basic manufacturers specification - but remains legal within the ADRs.

Also, if you want to survive on this, or any other forum, take some time to learn the conventions (largely unwritten) and pay a little respect to those who have been here longer than you. If you don't like that, you can always take your bat, neons and keyboard home.

Please note, before you respond with pithy epithets, that a) I am being very polite and b) I am offering constructive advice. Please take it as such. Keyboard warriors are so tiresome.

Cheers. :cheers:

      My BMW 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.

      Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
