BMW???

Come on mate, BMWs are excellent cars. I had an E46 325ci for the weekend (my friend went to Gold Coast and left it to me). It was nice driving it, very smooth and comfortable, but on sunday nite i got in my car and the smile came right back on!!! My car is sooooo much more fun, but in 3-4 years, when kids come along (i hope), i'll trade my car for a 330ci or a 335i if funds permit.
R32 is just too harsh and loud for kids

If it is a DP chip you are after (and it should be!) then your local TJM dealer will sell you one. My dealer (Newcastle) was happy to order one and fit it for me as a trial for a few days. I bought it! Around $1200 IIRC

Hi Bob,
Looks like not until end of April...
Chile is great, but I'd kill to have the T here, there are many deserts to cross and REAL montains to climb. Frustrating thing is that I have only seen them as city pose vehicles - there are 2 in our street but they never get dirty!!!!
So it's down to Avis for a R & D (rent and destroy) special. We had great fun for 2 weeks with a 2.5l R5 petrol powered 6sp DSG VW Vento sedan from Avis. Made in mexico, they are a really nice little jigger - plenty of GO and handling tight to boot. Build quality solid germanic - no rattles after the 2500km of punishment we gave it in the south of Chile. Quite impressive...
