...and 120i vert in Sydney bites the dust

WOW its sucks to see nice cars like that. At least the 135 was owned by BMW and not some poor owner who would have to wait another 4 months to get a car.

WAY · 10-23-2008, 04:43 AM

Hmm, how do I buy that as a wreck from BMW for spares? That engine and turbo and clutch I could do with, in case anything blows on mine!

123D-M · 10-23-2008, 05:08 AM

That made me very sad. Although as said above, thankfully no-one will have to wait another 4 months for their replacement...

Hey, they'll have that car on a jig and panel beated in no time...and on the second hand market!

Wasn't TGA that did it by any chance?????

smarm · 10-23-2008, 06:37 AM

I note on the promo for the new UK TG, that there's a 135 on it!

uhoh. closer look reveals it's just an M3... *sigh*

All excited for nothing...

smarm · 10-23-2008, 10:31 AM

Damn, I just rewatched it....

You're right, my mistake it's an M3.

It wouldn't happen to be any of you 1addicts over in AU would it? Either way, suuuuucks to see that happen. He'll need a decent body shop though

Awesome paint job! Shame about the scratches!
