So are they welding it back together then? How the hell is that crack "repaired"?

:fencelook:

Anywho...

Get that MT-09 man... it doesn't look half shabby... and it's Jap.... so will be indestructible...

:tiptoe:

Doing the bike tomorrow too... this traffic is annoying!



Same question I have.
I was expecting a new motor!

Not going to fight them on it, they have helped me out before with other issues :hammerhead:

Sometimes it shakes the soul, violently and the breaks down or leaks :smilebounce:

But yes the e46 is special.

Been driving it and the 125i back to bcak lately, I like the feel of my car more. It's feels tighter than the 125i, could only be the mods I have done to it. And the obvious manual v auto thing. I just don't enjoy autos, this one does everything it should I just can get use to it.

Mileage mile stone for the me & e46;

I bought it with 122 0015 on the 29th October 2012, 5 years and 1 week ago, we just completed 100 017km today.

The day it won 3rd place against 5 other N/a 6 pot BMWs, beating a 2.8 z3 and 330ci, losing to the 2 e36m's. Was a proud moment cause you know "it's just a 325"i.

Personal best lap at Zwartkops (1:21:8) followed by the failure that kinda stopped that game for a while.

As much as this car has had me down, frustrated, and down right pissed off. There is nothing I can exchange it for and I hope to enjoy another 100 000km+ with it.

Finally managed to get this done :roflol:

Thanks to Divio and Thiren(Spiro) for bringing your cars too. Probably the last photos I will have of my car in Jozi. I am sure Divio photos will top tier as always. Here are some I snapped.
