Another vote for Koni from me. I put them in my e34 540, which had factory M-sport springs. Really nice combo to drive on, including a good comfort factor.

Low battery voltage can cause faults in the airbag system

Thanks for the replys everyone. @3pedals good to know re the Bilsteins. The koni's are significantly more expensive at: FRONT: 87411372SPORT @ $620.96 gst incl each. Currently nil stock. 9 weeks min; delay from ordering. REARS: 82401156SPORT @ $424.03 gst incl each. Currently in stock. But I am a firm believer of do it once do it right. @Olaf I'll catch up with you on Sunday, if it's dry I'll probably have the E30 but if it's wet I'll bring the 540i.

new wheel has had current, freshly recalled (last year) airbag fitted. so i'm sorted old air bag needs checking first and foremost, i forgot to take it to dealer. so will do tomorrow. they will check but can only perform recall on vehicles once (recall is vehicle aligned not airbag aligned). if airbag i did get with the MF wheel does need to be recalled it'll have to go to a car that hasn't had one yet or be disposed of. if it doesn't need recalling i will sell with the steering wheel that came out of my car.

Multifunction steering wheel fitted to the E46. Cruise control fully active, stereo controls to come for aftermarket HU. going to enjoy CC on longer road trips!

SAS suspension in Auckland gave me good deal on Sachs\Boge long ago and Shox.com had good good prices on Koni's last time i looked. Threw some Meyle ones from FCP in my DD 530i as they were on special ($100 NZD for 1x front), ended up being around $400 shipped and got away with no gst. Don't know how long they would last but performance wise they are better than i expected.

Got replacement genuine speakers from Brent at BMWorld, $20each and in excellent condition. Perfect fit and sound is spot on. I heard it was tricky getting speakers sorted as well so getting off Brent was a perfect solution.

Replaced a chunk of the rubbish plastic window washer piping in the bonnet. Was leaking all across 5 points, replaced most of it, the rest will still likely need doing to complete, but at least it works now. Replaced the rear 4 speakers, thanks to Brent for BMWorld for some quality parts. Sound greatly improved with speakers that don’t have UV rot in them. Gave it a clean to round off the weekend. Already locked a few thousand kms under it, seems to like the running currently. Touch wood.

Towed my Morris home from a mate's house. Manual x5 is such an excellent tow wagon Picked up a set of r888r for the race car this morning
