Fair enough, from your OP, I read you were a bit "RWD Death wary" as so many seem to be....

I'll be interested to see what you think of the 330. :)

I was a little bit after it stepped out on me but it wasnt like the old nissans just give them a bootful and keep it going on the drift days I guess I don't worry so much on the track as a lot less things to crash into! They also either have a LSD or a welded diff so I guess that had a factor in it! I had a play in the snow and it was good fun but I am not to worried about the rwd 4wd thing. I shall try the 330 before I buy anything but I want to get this sold first and then I can decide.

I belive they are Falkens on the rear and bridgestone on the front, I did a little research to look for some decent ones.
 
That'll be why its tailhappy then. E46's HATE mixing tyre types front to back, especially when the backs are directional and the fronts are assymetric. No wonder it doesnt handle like it should!

My 530i is quite a bit more powerful than your 323Ci, weighs less than 100kg more, yet isn't very tailhappy at all.
 
Ah right I learn something new then! I just thought as long as you keep the axle the same set of tyres you would be alright. I guess that will be the new owners problem it's not super tail happy but I could push a lot harder in a TT than I could in the bmw.

I am perfectly aware that Haldex is a company (Seriously, patronising much? Did you honestly think I didn't know Haldex was a company? Bwahahaha)- but I've never been impressed with any of the cars I've driven fitted with one of their systems.

I was both surprised that a: Haldex do stuff for cars & b: you are not that impressed with their kit.

I know them from the trailers at work.....

I think you are confusing 'Grip' with handling.

Generally speaking a 4WD car like the Audi will be easier to drive fast, while generally speaking a RWD car like the BMW will be more enjoyable to drive fast.
 
Maybe it's just me, but in the third picture the paintwork looks pretty dull. Certainly doesn't match the 'deep shine' mentioned in the advert and displayed in the first picture.
 
The pictures show **** all, and it looks like you couldn't be bothered. Look at the 3rd one for example, the front of the car is cut off and it's not straight, just smacks of lazyness....if you can't be bothered to try and get some money for your car how does that make it look like you've looked after it?

Get rid of the photo of the engine, no one cares. Take a photo of the inside, one of the front 3/4 angle and one of the rear 3/4 angle if you're only allowed 3 photos.

IE:

IMG_0870.jpg


IMG_0890.jpg


IMG_0898.jpg


as a guide for good angles and just keeping things straight.....makes the car look far more appealing. Ignore the fact i've taken it with an enthusiast camera, just use any "proper" (read: not phone) camera on a decent day and it'll be so much better.

PS i'm prone to getting annoyed with photos more than most people so maybe it's just me :D

Well they make a lot of money from cars so I dont see why they should do that?

I was refering to you not being impressed with any of their car based systems you have had experience of - I was pointing out that I use their kit daily, its fine - in my application anyway - so, perhaps, they should stick to commercials.....? :)

But, yeah, money talks..... :D
