I will always maintain that the 80-90's was the golden age for automobiles

Took a few shots of the M3 whilst at Ruapuna today. The Landrover is ours too. Threw in a few other random photos from what was a great day. I have only ever been to the Skope Classic but I find it fantastic that you can wander all over the pits and talk to the owners, look over their cars, ask questions etc. Amazing. Thrown in a few other random photos from what was a great day.

This whole thread makes me moist....

Low K beautiful example shows where these are heading. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-bmw-m-coupe-11/?utm_source=transactionalemail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bat_watched_listing_ended https://www.mcoupebuyersguide.com/listing?ListingID=18822&fbclid=IwAR3XNiiomk_o9bCz3e1vnzWugnJicL3fWCVCLaizPEc4hBl4q1RHUQMGGdE

I'm calling it - video of the year!!

Yes, but picture comes from an urban explorer. I think it will continue to rest at that spot for a while to come.

5w30 is the correct oil for your car and all modern Bmws expect for the M cars

Repco also has oil sales starting today for the next 5 days... up to 30% off. @sobanoodle: unless your manual or dealer says to use 0W then I wouldn't, it's unnecessary in our climate, even in the deep south. A 20W is probably perfect for Auckland but they're few and far between.

Dave Dave Dave, is it so hard for you to admit that your advice was some what lacking? The guy asked which was the TWS equivalent and there was only one right answer to that. I am sure you’ve heard of the Tribunal case of the Maserati owner that lost against the dealership and mechanical Insurer because a non approved oil was used in the engine once and it blew up? Whilst that might not impact you personally or majority of people here I am certain you won’t catch a reputable BMW specialist workshop using non approved oil to do a service on a customer car - imagine the uproar lol!!! Heck they’d double their margins on oil if they swapped one product for another! Perhaps you should be telling them all to get off their high horses and to pull their snobby fingers out of their arses for being pretentious? On a more serious note, I was on three different phone calls with the Castrol technical guy (not saled rep) for an hour over this topic last year and he looked up the formulation (not available to the public of course) and said they are different products - period. Whilst I agree it need not be an “approved” oil for an engine to work, but it surely can’t hurt? Surely you agree on that? Heck I don’t see you use made in China bushes over Lemforder for your cars in your builds. Double standard are we?! And if you’ve bothered to read past posts you’ll see I actually agree somewhat when it comes to other branded oil of the same weight that meets or exceeds the approved oil standards like Liqui Moly, Redline, Motul ect But let’s see how staunch you actually are about your cavalier and simply don’t give a F attitude over engine oil ... here’s my offer to you and let’s put your theory to the test ... I’ll buy you an oil of “my” choosing out of my own pocket each and everytime you need an oil change for your E36 M3 and you put that in each and everytime and run it till the next scheduled oil change? Should we see if Chinese oil is just as good and perfectly suited for M engines? And let’s document it for the forum masses shall we? Challenge accepted?

And because I put my money where my mouth is

Cook, cook. It definately says cook.

Amazing a thread where people post pictures of their meat made it this far without innuendo.

The e39 just makes sense to me.
