I did a proposal once for a lakefront development and I asked for comments. They said they didn't want the people in this new development because they would ride their skidoos all over the lake. I asked if we should ban skidoos on the lake all together? They responded "no way" because they wouldn't be able to ride theirs... Oh, brother!

Yea this is one of my pet peeves!! I see this on a daily basis lol!

Hey guys,

I've been listening to all kinds of exhaust systems for our cars and haave some opinions BUT.......
An e90 came rolling through my neighbourhood (Bridgeland) last night that sounded amazing! The only info I have was that it was black and probably had headlight mods. Drove slowly by and then hooned it onto Edmonton trail.

Anybody on here?

Hey guys. 2008 E92 AW 6spd checking in. only mods so far are
-macht schnell intake
-megan exhaust
-carbon grill/side vents

Dropped the price of my car for sale again to $60,000CAD OBO. Make me an offer or tell your friends. The total cost was more than twice that amount, it's a great deal.

I know of one Jerez Black e90 with a with Dinan kit including the 4.6 stroker, of course has a dinan exhuast, it has HRE wheels also. if the tips look kinda like stock but not shiny then it was a Dinan. I like the sound of that exhuast.

what way are you leaning??

AA signature or find an Akra Evo used. I won't be buying it until spring unless a great deal comes through.

Over the summer I noticed a couple of m3 with AA exhuasts on them in Calgary, my choices would be

1 akra
2 AA
3 Dinan

Ouch.. this is a heartbreaker. Just goes to show how mods do not affect the price of the car. Here we have your gorgeous RDSport build.. and I'm just blown away people aren't throwing their money at you at $60K.

It definitely is surprising, since it's priced about the same as a stock Canadian M3.

I know there are probably circumstances, but I'd be patient. I've seen cars go for much more than that. It's just a bad time right now, and lots of people are selling for less than they could get in recent memory.

I just don't have the storage space or patience to sell the car any more, hence the low price. Someone is going to get an amazing deal.

Brutal... it's like fishing - lots of nibbles but no bites. I'm going to hold out till the spring when things may get better... Good luck with your sale nd54!

that car was at Calgary BMW for a couple of months in the show room April/May. I think the price on it was like $105k

That's bonkers. Same as the Java Green they have sitting there now.

Also, a friend texted me a very blurry photo asking if I can guess the car. My first guess was a Delorean, then an 80's Lotus Esprit........anyone wanna venture a guess based on those two wrong guesses? The car was in Calgary at a gas station on Saturday.

Hint: The newest M car had to change it's name to accomodate it.

To the dumb ass in his SSII E90, licence plate starting ZSH...

THERE IS NO POINT IN DOING 190 ON SHAGANAPPI TRAIL, I CAN SEE YOUR CAR WAS STOCK, IF MUMMY AND DADDY BROUGHT IT FOR YOU THEN PLEASE GIVE IT BACK AND LEARN HOW TO DRIVE BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION AGAIN. Showing off to the Audi A4 won't prove anything, your death will though. People like you give us BMW drivers a bad name.

Good day
