Usually their offers are insultingly low and you just wanna tell them to f-off. 13 hours ago, momo said: Just assume everyone is a bare faced liar..

dunk1 Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 If its true mileage then i guess its got to be very rare in top condition, i personally would have had the car detailed inside before posting the advert. £20K i guess will be an investment for someone, dry store it in a carcoon and bring it out in 10/15 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would rather have a standard 330ci with low miles. Don't see the appeal of a Clubsport and not sure why they command strong money but I'm not complaining. Helps drive up the value of our cars. 6 hours ago, momo said: Horrible, horrible cars!! lol 🤣 momo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 They will command a premium because they're a special edition model that were made in fewer numbers (wonder why) so rarity comes into it. But yes, those of us who actually like the E46 looks and shape know how wrong BMW got it with that stupid big wang! Thankfully BMW only ever used it again next on the E92 M3 GTS (I think). I mean if they did it to the E46 M3 it makes a little sense (it was an optional extra I think, seen a few with it). Not to a ruddy 330Ci lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schumacher Posted August 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 The keyword there is 'special'. If it was a run of say 100 limited editions I could understand the prices but they're not exactly rare (comparing to other marques/limited editions). BMW produced around ''eleventy billion'' E46s, lol. Anyone know the actual production numbers for Clubsports? Apparently there were 400 of each colour but nothing concrete to back that up. I always found it funny that they removed sound deadening to reduce weight but then added the hoonigan rear wing and front corner splitters.

momo Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Did they actually remove sound deadening though? I thought it was just a cosmetic change.. So wing, splitters, clubsport badges everywhere and that's it. If they made 400 of each colour i'm sure 399 of each of them was once a member on this forum!

Schumacher Posted August 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Yeah, it's always been stated that BMW removed 20kg. Some say from the bulkhead (unlikely), others say from under the rear seats. Who knows? Maybe it was just a marketing ploy? The only difference I've seen is the lack of bonnet insulation. 10 hours ago, momo said: If they made 400 of each colour i'm sure 399 of each of them was once a member on this forum!

Schumacher Posted August 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 God knows then? All the ones I've seen at shows didn't have them. Let's just say it's a 330ci with a few cosmetic mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schumacher Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 True but when I asked a couple owners they said their cars were completely standard. The insulation gets mentioned a lot as part of the Clubsport package but I'm thinking it was all marketing b0llocks, lol. IIRC the rear wheels are slightly lighter than MV1/2s. I guess a tiny weight saving and the Germans thought: ''ya, vee shall market zee car as 20 kilograms lighter.'' Guenther received a salary bonus and the rest as they say is history. momo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunk1 Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) The wheels look way better than MV1's and 2's regardless of weight the car is overpriced but i think its good for the rest of us as it makes our cars look like bargins at well under £10k At least the one in the video had been cleaned properly by the look of it, i'd have looked at the drivers bolster though as that looked like it starting to wear Edited September 3, 2020 by dunk1 momo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schumacher Posted September 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) I think the Clubsport wheels are better suited to the E36 than 46. They remind me of style 88s. Mesh-style wheels would've looked better/more aggressive. Edited September 4, 2020 by Schumacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Don't mind the clubsport wheels tbh! Look like cheapo knock-offs of something better but they're not bad.. CSL style wheels on the E46 look the best for me though.. Just a shame the rear arches on non-M's are tiny so you can't get any concavity! Flat wheels! Woooooo... 😑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schumacher Posted September 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the wheels. I would've preferred something more aggressive hence the crude 'shopped pic above. To be fair, most factory BMW wheels are decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Not the snowflake looking things on the M4 GTS! Horrible looking wheels.. They've tried to take the CSL style wheel and give it a refresh but instead of making it look better it looks like a bloody snowflake! The orange accents don't help.. Yuck!

Schumacher Posted September 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Ha, that's an extreme example but I agree - they're hideous. Nightmare to clean too. Fixed the GTS...

Agreed, forums are definitely best for car knowledge. Everyone just turns to social media now because it's more convenient + people are lazy/have short attention spans. Like you said, they want answers to problems then disappear. If I had Facebook I would troll them just for fun, haha. If only we could rewind time, eh? Quite a few forums have gone to internet heaven the last few years but at least this place is still here so cheers for keeping it alive. I have noticed the increased traffic; wish the guests would sign up and say hello. I did PM you re: forum update and theme options but maybe it got lost? Great mentions there.
