  1. I use the good oil. ELF from Glenn. In fact, I used too gooda oil in the E30.

    On a side note, be happy you can get any BMW aftermarket service parts, I cant get anything for the Megane other than the Oil, I had to get a oil filter threw Renault for $65.00!! NGK NZ don’t stock replacement plugs for the Megane either.

    Buy them off the web, there's heaps off Renault places in the UK. I got quoted $252 for spark plugs for the Lexus, landed them for $107.


  2. I put the first 200kms on that Blue E92 M3..

    I also saw a white E36 M3 cabrio, dont know if its on here it has the plate JORGE I think, it was outside the fashion week shows in the viaduct

    I don't think it's an M3. Could be wrong, but I don't think so.

    I was right, it's a 200k 318i.


  3. Thanks bud. I like it, but maybe it is a bit conservative for me? A white 'rossa would be ideal, but a bit expensive and somewhat difficult for the Mrs. to paralell park. A Benz R109SL (ala Beverly Hills Cop) would also be the business, but probably not as practical as I would like for a daily driver.

    Will have a look at this 530i, who knows, it could be a minter.

    I will be annoyed if one of you muppets outbids me - hopefully hindsight doesn't suggest that posting this thread on here was a mistake!!!

    I know at least one person who will bid on it. But your post made no difference.


  4. From R90S

    It's possible to be a car enthusiast without being a bigot. BMW make some excellent cars, but they've also marketed some shockers. Take off your blinkers and smell the Castrol . . . . .

    Oh so true. A skyline GTR is inferior to all BMWs? I think not. Notwithstanding the fact that this is a BMW forum and that I do like BMWs, you can't simply ignore or write off all other cars and call yourself an enthusiast. Especially when most of the hate is directed towards Japanese vehicles. Yes, the Japs make some shockers, but so do the Euros.


  5. I don't think you should sell it. I think you've done a great job to get where you've got to, you've almost inspired me to do something with the B25 engine I have in the garage!

    Park it up for a while if you have to and come back to it when you have more money and enthusiasm for it again.


  6. Ill just add one Im particularly fond of at the moment :D

    I hate how so many people have taken up scooters because they cant afford petrol. Especially those who clearly have no idea on how to handle one and clearly have never ridden on one.

    They think they can wobble between cars at the intersections in town, then sit over the pedestrian area waiting at the lights, then take off so slowly you can do nothing but over take them on a narrow inner city streets and THEN they have the balls to give you grief when they come up the side of you and sneak into any space youve left in front of you to stop safely !

    I just love blocking them in against cars parked on the side of the road when they do that. If you want to be part of the road then follow the f$@#%ing road rules you muppets.

    Couldn't agree more. And my personal rant for today, people who use keywords to advertise their 318i/520i/528i so it comes up when you search for a 540i or anything else for that matter. I will not buy your completely irrelevant car just because it pops up.


  7. If you can feel a slight shudder or vibration when pulling away, it's something to do with the gearbox and approx. a $2.5k fix. I didn't find it as quick as I thought and that was a manual, but maybe it was just quiet. I too would rather have one than a MkIV GTi.
