Yes Niz and I have an understanding.

Niz, yeah had my 32 for over a yeah now, transplanted an rb25 in after a few months and a few other bits n pieces and makes approx 270 rwhp. Not much traction but absolutely love driving it. I was going to buy one of kens 'R's but fell through. Im looking for another r32 gtr right now. Honda drivers eh. Bit of a plague arnt they!. Commodore drivers like to irritate me like a rah but doesnt last long, just get out of there quick. Hey mayb I could borrow some of my sisters clothes and get of 6 point fines as well. That is almost worth cross-dressing for. But there are plenty of down-sides!!!!!

yeah i dont know why people put wings on their cars just doesnt look as good when everyone has them.

I don't use busses in perth troy i cant tell where they are going and get lost on them so i stick to the train and taxis.

Ken your GTR makes you the stallion on the forum-until you sell it then you can become a dirty old man. Thats what its all about.

Niz, my 32 isnt too bad ....................until you get into 3rd gear, 1st and 2nd are pretty much a joke. From the glance I got of your 33 your ride looks very choice ;)

    • 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.
