History
SADLY... DUE TO GOVERNMENT RULES SHE IS NOW IN STORAGE WITH MOTORLINE BMW SPRINGWOOD, DUE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL.
(MUST NOT BE DRIVEN)����������
The wait time is 14 to 22 Months... YES! Months!
I purchased this E46 AC Schnitzer from a Uni student in January 2013 for $10k.
After fixing all of his stuff ups with suspension and tires etc its now a great car.
I have joined the BMW Club of Queensland and find them friendly and a joy to go for drives with.
This Beemer hooks into the twisties real nice!
Any one can go fast in a straight line... Hey Americans can do it it cant be difficult eh?I just love corners. I think its the sports bike rider coming out in me still @52yo
The first trip I have taken this beast on was on ALL of the coast roads between here (Brisbane) and Adelaide. The Great Ocean Road is spectacular in a car like this! I came home via Bathurst 6Min. 48Sec. lap time... Not bad eh... for a 60klm/h limit haHa.

I have added DBA track grade, heat treated Drilled & Slotted rotors front and rear. With cold air ducting to both front and rear brakes so she stops too.
Exhaust is stock to the rear of the twin cats but mandrel bent to the rear, with a nice stainless steel muffler fitted by Right Price Exhausts in Moss st.
Windows have 20% tint fitted.
It has an in car DVR recorder that video’s in 1080 everything through the wind screen as per the video’s you see of crashes from Europe.
It also has full GPS tracking with lock-out and lock-in function with engine shut down capabilities... Shannons Insurance love these options.
I have upgraded the brakes with 345mm 2 piece CSL Competition pack front rotors from ECS and 328mm rear rotors from a 740il custom made in the USA to match the drill & slot pattern of the front rotors matched up with radial mount 4 pot Brembo calipers from a 996 Porsche with custom made braided lines.
I thought she stopped before... Now I heed my seat belt to keep me inside the car.
