All you guys with your M-Sport E83s will never know the misery of maintaining all that black bumper trim! I dated a girl in high school who drove an Alpine over Saddle Brown, so I'll always have a fondness for AW X3s.Quote:

Thoroughly tested and inspected the car and it was in decent shape, far from perfect but good enough given the age and mileage.
Started checking papers of the car to find that in Typenschein (like a title in Austria) says that the owner is some Turkish guy named Muhamed.
Guy who was selling it was an Austrian and he bought the car 2 years ago and made a sales contract with some other Turkish dude named Mustafa, and not the owner that it is in the documents.
In those 2 years he never registered the car in his name, but he did make another sales contract stating that he sold it to his brother and now he is trying to sell it to me, haha :confused. It wouldn't be so bad if he actually had a sales contract between him and the owner in Typenschein, but he doesn't and therefore cannot register it or sell it to me legally. He wanted to make a new contract and make it look like I bought it from that Muhamed dude and he signs instead of him, but I just hate doing shady business so I walked away.
Big waste of my time, though not the first and probably not the last. It just baffles me how can somebody not mention such an import piece of information over the phone and I have to travel to another country just to find that out.
Sorry for the off guys.
i actually like the style 192s (like pictured below), i wish those came with it - not these ginormous 19s.Quote:

after more driving, it does need some stuff to freshen it up a bit...
- new dampers (going koni FSD most likely, but the bilstein B6 looks good too)
- new engine/trans/diff mounts
- new RTABs and RCABs
will probably do all of that in the spring.
nice, i like those wheels! :cheersQuote:

Peter - the X3 looks like a fun alternative to the baja e46 touring that we'll one day build. Definitely needs a larger diameter tire...but will you be able to handle the reduced acceleration???
mmmmmmm love me some track
