I guy on these forums contacted me as I was looking for a bonnet for a stagea said he one but was interstate.

I sorted everything out with him price and postage. Then direct deposited the money and now the guy has vanished. Kept saying he was busy he will get to it. Now wont answer my calls won't respond to msgs. Added him on Facebook contacted him that way. Then he deleted me.

The guy on here's name is TANGENTS.

I have his full name and address but don't think it's right. To disclose that just yet.

All I want is the bonnet or my cash back.

Administrators please pull this down if further action is needed I am happy to go to the appropriate people but I will let this stand another couple of weeks. out of benefit of the doubt. Cheers for everyone's offers. Just thought people should know.

Internet forums contain the full spectrum of people; it's inevitable that bad things will happen, and it's naive to think that everyone is trustworthy.

Given this was resolved with a successful outcome; perhaps it would be an idea to edit the title of this thread, or even lock it; so that it doesn't keep arriving at the top of the page with a negative spin on Tangents trustworthiness.

      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.
