I was just looking to order a set of plates, and i want the black lettering on white plates to match my other plates. BUT since the new pink, purple whatever colours have been brought in they have scrapped the nice simple black on white and you can't now order in that style :( the closest thing is white with a black border, but it's not the same dammit! here endeth my rant.

WTF.. I can't believe they've done that.. as if there aren't enough people out there that have them.. especially imports for some reason :(.. **chuckle** they definately suit the cars the best, simple - but very smooth..

what a joke.. typical of them to do it..

yeah it's pretty lame. especially as i already have two cars with that style of plate and i wanted any future cars to have the same. damn. i will have to go with the white with black border and a pair of tin snips...

liquid paper the border :( Illegal though. But which car isn't :D

cough, charlie! all my cars are completely legal... :( sif i would modify a car away from standard spec... hehe

really ?~~poor u ~~

hehe i m gonna get my silver number plate soon...

can t wait! :lol:

If you ring or go into the RTA rather then going online, they will make them for you.

You may notice that you still can't order the newer "AB 12 CD" style over then net either. But I know for a fact, as I ordered them for my wife's car, you can get them by ringing or going to an RTA.

just thought id let u know monkeykplunk, i ordered my plates online, my plates are RB 20 ED?? so i dont understand what your saying when u say u can order that type online? i got mine back in march...

lol, made on the spot... no mate, there is no black smith out the back making plates. they are made in a factory. you'll have to wait about 4 weeks.

no worries, it just conjured up a great mental picture for me.

you walk into the RTA, line up, go to the counter, say: "i'd like a plates that says 'breasts' please" the lady says "ok" please wait five minutes. she runs out the back to the smithy who starts work on a nice set of plates. 5 minutes later your on your way with a set of smoking plates in hand! :D

well i just rang the RTA to order the new plates. they wouldn't sell me the plain black on white plates, only the black on white with black border. :D She claimed that they look the same appart from the border, so we'll see. what a bummer. oh well, they will still be ok.

    • 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.
