    The Jerks at The Werk Shop have an orange one listed in the back of SportsCarMarket for $499,000. Just in case somebody here has half-a-million bucks burning a hole in their wallet. [image: :)] edit: oops, they want $550,000 for it.

    patsbimmer1 said: Or maybe he was a white collar criminal who had just recently purchased his beloved 330i just prior to getting nailed for an Enron like crime and hitting the pen for the past decade. Now he is a bitter criminal with a chip on his shoulder looking to recoup some of his expenses in order to start plotting his next scam. He's seeing things in the world that are new to him now, such as Craigslist. This explains the all-caps and lack of proper punctuation in his ad. Fuckin criminals don't need punctuation! His caps lock key is still on from the week prior to getting locked up, when he wrote his final words to those who turned on him... They were friends and colleagues. They took the easy way out and made him out to be the mastermind... they will PAY! He saw things on the inside that he'll never forget... things no one should ever endure. Randy, his cell mate, was the only friend he had left. Randy was serving 15 years and already had a couple under his belt before this guy shows up. Randy took him under his wing, showed him the ropes, where to sit in the cafeteria, what side of the yard to walk on... Randy did it all. What our guy didn't know was that Randy had burned some bridges with LRPG, a local Buffalo gang. He had helped them with a front for their cocaine business. Problem was, Randy loved that yayo. Too much of a good thing and Randy got them all caught. A simple slip of the books and red flags were everywhere. Well LRPG took care of him on the yard one day, shank to abdomen, then the legs, then the chest... over and over again he was stabbed right in front of our guy. This jaded our guy and he blames those colleagues... those friends... those whistle blowers... those snitches for the pain he had endured. Now he's out and he's looking for payback... and an insanely high price tag on an e46 non-m. That could be...

    Electric fan on either a temp switch or a manual switch in the dash works. I opted for one I can turn on and off when I feel like it

    jayinmadison said: Besides Zimbrick where is a good shop that works on bimmmers and ideally isn't as expensive as the dealership? Any idea what an average cost per hour of labor should be? Thanks I took my car to Kelly Moss Motorsports for work on my ofhg & vcg.  Their rate seemed pretty fair based on what I've seen other said they paid for the same work.  You can send them an email and they will actually respond, which is something most shops haven't done.  They specialize in Porsches but I've seen other cars there like Lotuses, Corvettes, Audis, etc.

    Does it steady out when you apply the brakes? Check the tie rod ends but it probably is the control arm bushings. I have replaced failed ones on 3 different e30s and e36s. I install the OEM centered style ones for an e36 m3, they have more rubber vs airspace so they last longer but don't coat any more. I think the e46 might use a slightly different one though, never done one of those. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

    Jeff F said: I run the Tuesday cruise night in Mequon (used to be at Highland House, got kicked out of there for being too big, now we're back at the old Brew City Grill/Sybaris location, but anyway...).  I also organize the Concours BMW show for Badger Bimmers, plus a bunch of other stuff. This is an issue that comes up every so often. I think the answer is - it depends.  A show like our Tuesday night thing always has been and always will be open to any kind of car anyone wants to bring.  Old, new, interesting, boring, exciting, clean, dirty, whatever.  It's a social thing, and we have space for everyone.  A show like the Concours BMW show is obviously for BMWs only (except for a few non-conformists who bring something else and are too dense to figure it out and we're too polite to expel them).  A show like the Saturday night show at the HAWK in Elkhart Lake shouldn't have Subaru WRXs in it, etc. Space is limited and it does piss me off that a WRX takes the spot away from a "more worthy" car. But the bottom line is that almost all shows are organized and run by volunteers, and it's already aggravating enough to do all the work and listen to people bitch about this that and the other thing (and snap getting a bagel! [image: :)]), to have to worry about pissing off some idiot by telling them their EconoBox SUX isn't a show car.  Life's too short.  I just don't look at cars that don't interest me and so far I'm only halfway to crazy. Thanks for your work man.  I haven't been to one of your events yet, but when I do I will make sure to mention how ungrateful I am with a 12 pack of whatever floats your boat:)

    i_love_cars said: yea i'm sorry but this thing is nowhere near 225k.  This ad is a joke as far as I'm concerned. I don't care what the car has in it. The guy clearly doesn't want to sell it because the price listed and the car itself do not have anywhere near the background information to back it up and let the buyer make an informed purchasing decision. This is fishing at its finest. Fuck that kid.  agreed.  also, all that beautiful work and they decided to cut giant holes in the middle of the rear bumper for the quad exhaust?

    maybe hella sold them back in the day, but I don't think you can get 5 3/4" covers anymore. not sure your goal of this project, but a set of lamin-x clear protectors are fairly good at protecting your glass and you don't have to hassle with taking them on/off.

    So messed up man.  I work in a club downtown and there have been similar assclowns who when X person/couple gets out of the car, they will act like valet and drive off, or hop in the car as valet is coming to get in. Friend works in a restaurant downtown and 3-4 guys were sitting in the waiting area and a customer came in, asked if they were valet and one got up and tried to grab the keys, but my friend stopped it from a potential incident. Saw a pic of a car across the street from my apartment (car was in a parking lot) with all 4 wheels taken.  I think it was a Yaris or something like that. C'mon!
