  1. In a moment of supreme idiocy (and 'I saw it on the internet') I muffler deleted my E60 545i and the drone almost made me physically ill. 🤮
  2. That's a beast for sure, but too nice to take off road
  3. Congrats on the M5! Have an E60 M5 myself and just had the rod bearings done - absolutely love it. I'm a sad sack and track the M5 market so have seen this one come up for sale a cople of times. Love the individual interior on your vehicle - piano black trim plus light leather and headlining - very unusual! Nice to hear you're bringing it back to stock....
  4. Welcome Mox! Glad you're enjoying the 325i Msport 👍 dunno about that 🤷‍♂️ best to order a key from your local dealer It is *possible* to retrofit newer BMW systems but *complex* and expensive; otherwise try aftermarket but will still cost some $$ so you only want to do this if keeping the car longer term... N7-E90 Pro navigation system, suitable for BMW 3 Series E90-E93 – Dynavin 3 & 4 - Series - BMW - GPS Multimedia (avinusa.com) Either stick to run flats - costly, more road noise use regular tyres and hope you are lucky throw a space saver in the boot buy some tyre goop for emergencies
  5. Hi all Helping a fellow BMW Car Club member sell their beautiful Z3M Roadster... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3133883715 ~146KMs on it, asking price is $40K. Very rare, and very fun! If you're interested, contact Raewyn on 0272750656.
  6. While I like keeping things original, this vehicle looks fantastic.
  7. Welcome Lance - those V8s are great
  8. Absolutely gorgeous Gary! We have one of these in the Welly club...
  9. Yup - have applied the RainX sealant from after doing the PlastX...
  10. Have to say I'm a fan of Meguiars PlastX - super fast, easy headlight restoration job. Very little work compared to the Rain-X kit and makes a real difference. In fact, I'm always looking at peoples' headlights and thinking 'give me 10 minutes and those can look great'! 🙄 Used this on the M5 and X5...

  11. Welcome Josh - +1 on check out the Club - which is affiliated with the RDS...
  12. I'd love to Alan, but after reviewing my E53 expenditure(!) since 2016, I need to stick with it and enjoy it...
  13. Nice example and GLWS... agree with @qube ...
  14. Damn! Loved seeing this at events when @BozzaFC owned it...
  15. Average showing 16.7l/100km at the mo after being away at the BMW Club National Meet near Taupo 335i DD is showing 10.9 average and the X5 4.4i sits around 15.6 - both urban use figures. Bearings - done ; Vanos line - done! In no way shape or form does adding X5 M really make sense - but ... life is short so fun matters!
  16. Hmmm... could be tempted It would need to be my daily driver I suppose - I'd have to then let go of my E53 and 335i... I will think on this!
  17. Nice example in a bunch of ways but yes $20k is something of a stretch.
  18. Congrats! What was the motivation for the change? Quite different beasties I suppose
  19. M5 update All going well ... Got Tony from Wheel Magician Welly to tidy up the two right wheels - much nicer and I can stop grimacing when looking at them. No before pics as sorting these was a 'might as well do it now' decision 335i 1 rim tidied up - never got around to this after buying the car back in 2019... X5 Have had the brake light trifecta pop up randomly when cruising along - then on next restart, cleared. Jon read the codes and it was reporting 'brakes hot'??? and pressure sensor error So it has been in for a thorough service... replace faulty viscous fan hub checked diff oil levels, replace transfer case oil as it was dark brake bleed install new ABS pump - to cover the pressure sensor error, and I've had the new ABS pump sitting idle since it came with the new ECU installed some time ago replace leaking washer motor fix puncture in spare wheel I do like the X5 but it hasn't exactly been... hassle free!
  20. Such a handsome vehicle with MPars and in silver 👌
  21. Stunning example @Camberley .... @Breaker was this your one?
  22. Yes - two nice, rare E53s up for sale! 4.6is is the rarest but the 4.8is is arguably a better vehicle. Despite the higher KMs I think $8K is fair given the amount of work done. Biggest jobs on these are chain guides and trans rebuild(!) - which will likely have been done already given the KMs. I'd love to switch to one of these special editions but have sunk too much into my 4.4i which is on 248KMs. 🙄 I don't really know what makes sense any more
  23. Welcome - and the E36 looks great!
