True! If it's too cheap then people start to think that there is something wrong with it and stay clear.

I think theres a sight "fear factor" attached to these manual cars. I'll admit it myself, I can drive manual but I don't think i'm the greatest of drivers so therefore when i'm driving a auto I know the car can make the most out of out itself. On the other hand whereas a manual i'll probably stall it and look like a fool.

Maybe its just me..... the last time i drove a manual car was when I passed my driving test.

Funny..Its the opposite for me..

I was driving a Holden HQ ute, 3 speed on the column at 15 (1975 ) in the back of the local council depot, when I was a first year apprentice..

Then went for my licence in the same ute.. have driven MT ever since.

My dealer was telling me e82s account for most of their manual sales. So its not really that far out of your target market.

I've been driving a 335i DCT a bit lately. The transmission is a bit boring tbh...

Hey guys
I just got new rims for my 130i and i am selling my old ones. There are slight gutter scratches on 2 of them and one of the two with a chip in the wheel. It is not very noticeable unless looking at the rims individually.
So what sort of price could i sell these for, not including tyres
They are OEM 351m wheels (18" x7.5 front 18" x8 back)

Thanks

Hey Gents,

Justin is parting with his Stett Performance "Stage 2" oil cooler kit.

It includes all necessary mounting hardware and the optional Mocal 180 degree Fahrenheit thermostat.

Whilst the kit is still installed on the car it can be removed immediately for fast interstate shipping.

All the components are in excellent condition and he is asking $595.00 exclusive of shipping.

Cheers.

Hey Harlequin, I overlooked the fact that I am already bidding on another set which ends tomorrow in Sydney. If I don't get those, I might be in touch. Of course I will return the favour in the future or reimburse you for your time if you can offer your help. Q: how far are you from Mt Ommaney? If too far, then don't worry!

ps: the wheels aren't even for me... I'm planning to surprise my sister when she wakes up one morning and sees her car haha
