New User from Germany...

[AndreasSA]

Good morning Guys!

I want to introduce myself as a new member here. I am german and settled to SA one year ago. I am 48 years old and since years BMW driver, my last ones in Germany:
M3E30, M3E36, M3E46conv, M3E92, 330dE46, 335dE91, 323iE46compact, 640i conv F series...I have attached some pictures...
Currently I am driving a 335i conv and I am looking for a M3E46CSL or M3conv...

Hope to have a nice time here with you!












P.S.: Yes, it is the legendary northloop in Germnay! :joy:

A warm welcome to the forum Andreas, thank you for introducing yourself and well done on what some would consider as a bucket list of cars...:thumbs:

[Divio]

Welcome to the forum :thumbs:


That's a really impressive line of cars raise::inlove:


Where in SA do you currently stay, because you just HAVE to show us your current ride! :rollsmile:


By the way, I've never heard of an E91 335d??? That thing must be a monster! We never got that model here.

 

[AndreasSA]

Thanks a lot for welcoming me here Guys!:ty:

I did with my E30 about 800 to 900 rounds per year, was built up on sand blasted chassis acc. to old german DTM specs and used only as a race car on the northloop for some years!

@Rayzor:
Quite difficult to answer...would distinguish between the use of the car...

Highway: 335d (a bit tuned...308km/h)...
Cruising: 335i conv or M3E46 conv....
Racetrac: M3E30 (also a bit tuned...1020kg...320PS)....
Daily driver: M3E36 (nobody thinks that the car is that fast...modified a bit with carbon air intake)...


@Kish: Will do, when is the next one?

I have some questions already:
Where do I get spacers here?
Where do I get the JB4 for my 335i?
Which company is placing carbon on car inlays?
Where do I get a good M3conv or M3E46 (if possible CSL) here? What are normal prices here?
All close to Joburg if possible...

Thanks a lot!:thumbs:

@DJ:
Am staying in Joburg

335d touring is great, if you modify it a bit (like I did)it offers:
348PS
710Nm
308 km/h

I loved that car, picked it up in BMW Welt in Munich....

Welcome :thumbs:

Where do I get spacers here?

Speak to Maronor from Axis a forum sponsor, he has good quality spacers


Where do I get the JB4 for my 335i?

Renzsport another forum sponsor are the JB specialists.

have a look at the links above... summerfest looks like a blast!

I don't know whose doing carbon inlays but I have heard of carbon dipping and it might be close enough to what you looking for...

a e46 M3csl, hmmm... expect to pay big $$$ for one of those... have a look on autotrader

 

[AndreasSA]

I have found a company called carbonskinz...anybody here who know them?

@Kish: Will have a look, many thanks! CSL that I found is around 500.000,- with about 60 to 70thousand km...is that ok?

[AndreasSA]

Thanks Gerberus, I do until now!

By the way....I am also looking for something louder at the rear end of my 335i....what do you guys prefer:

BMW performance or after market?

 

[China]

Welcome to the community!!!!!

Very impressive collection you gathered there!!! :bravo:

 

[Sendhur]

[AndreasSA]

Welcome:thumbs:

What an awesome list of cars you've had.

You should have brought the E30 across with you to use on our tracks

If it was for racing and not road use then it would have been easy to bring it over ... perhaps you could still :fencelook:

You are totally right, for track use it would have been fine ...but your tax department doesnt like that...I would have been forced to pay taxes on the car...quite a lot...

So..I sold them...

Welcome to the forum! :thumbs:

I'm so so jealous of your E91! :drool:

x35d is something I dream of owning :rollsmile:

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

e30 M3! :inlove:
You lucky sod!

Love the lineup of cars mate.
What harness and JB do you require? I have a Harness A N55 JB4, Downpipe (get the car a little louder) and an intake for sale, all for a meagre R12,000.00.

How was the e46 M vert on the Nordschleiffe?
Absolutely insanely jealous that you got to lap that, my freaking word! And in an e30 M3 on top of it! :thumbs:
