its pretty much the same as any other 33 u see on the road...hehe. 400r's are as common as assholes but thats not to say that they dont look good. i actually preferr the series 2 spoiler over the gtr one. tryhard is when u put gtr badges on it which this one doesnt have so its alright.

1 thumbs up from me because its a nice colour.

Imo, anything is better than stock for looks (except maybe the Veilside monstrosity). I have the exact same front bar, and it looks great, but it's a pain in the arse to drive with as it's so low. Most people on the forums don't mind this though, so I could be in the minority here. If you don't mind going up driveways sideways, then get it.

Big thumbs down. Mesh looks horrible, bar looks like it belongs to an entirely different car (the bar is all angles, the car is all curves and smooth surfaces).

Either ditch the bar, or make some changes to the rest of the car so the bar looks like it belongs. At least that's what I would do :mad:

thanks guys i think i agree with that...the R33 m-spec bodykits give it the subtle smooth lines it should have..think i'll stick with something like that...wat about standard spoiler...do people like the S2 or S1 spoilers?? or GTR spoilers???

yeah thanks i fully agree some people like it some don't...thanks for the support. i think the car would look good if it was beefed up on the sides n made more agressive but when it's standard i think it the smooth lines look good so i mite stick with something like that but thanks for the feedback

Personally I prefer the S1 spoiler on a stock R33 GTS-t, unless the car has a suitable front bar, then a S2 can work well. I don't like the R33 GT-R spoiler at all (although I realise I am probably in the minority)

Have you thought of maybe have no spoiler? If you want to get rid of the "fin" look, you can get a small spoiler, or one of those URAS-type spoilers that makes the boot completely flat. Looks schmick on GTS-t's IMHO.

    • 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.
