looks damn good, makes me pissed that i bought my 95 SII for 20K 1 year ago and this one here looks superior and only 82,000 kms.

One thing though lots of sellers are very reluctant to take their car to someone like SST or Hyperdrive cause anything that pops up makes it look so bad for the seller.

Well it will be hard to take it to SST these days..

The seller shouldn't be reluctant , because if they have nothing to hide, there should be no problem. A lot of cars we check have faults even the seller didn't know and just because someone is selling their car, doesn't make them dodgy.;)

We have also had cars that have been in very good nick and will also say that as well. We do give the cars a thorough checkover including compression test and cylinder leakage if required plus the knowledge we have of the Nissan product.

We don't profess to be experts on Holdens and Falcons, but our knowledge of the Nissan range is pretty good and I am confident we can do a better job of checking the product than the RAC/SGIO van man thingy..:O

Cheers

exactly, take a high technology sports car to ppl who know what they are and how they work

i remember when my battery died and the rac came for my 31, the first thing he asked me was if it was 3l... .when it clearly had the 2500 came cover on it. awe inspiring i promise.

      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.
