Wheels on finally! Had a change in tyre size over the week but happy now!

No. You are passing people on the motorway at say 105kph, then come up behind 4-7 car cluster f**k being held up by a lead lemming... so, you put your Ninja mask on and sniper them out with a swerve in front of them from the inside. This is a dangerous move and not fair on the tailgating lemmings just sitting behind him... but its immensely pleasing when they loose their sh*t and freak out. Wake the f**k up and get real people, its a passing lane, if you are not passing, get the f**k out of it and if you cant handle your car, get off the road. This move also works well on people who speed up to block you out on either the motorway or passing lanes, guarantied they will jam on their brakes and take a good few seconds to figure out what just happened, like a dazzled possum. Yes I am an arshole. I apologize if it was your mum driving.

I've had this lying around and never got round to installing. This suits 2008+ E9X Manual M3's. It cost around $600 landed from the states. $400 or nearest offer takes it. Exert from Turner: "Get MORE HORSEPOWER and TORQUE on your 2008, 2009 and newer M3 coupe, sedan or convertible by replacing the stock crank pulley with this specially designed performance version. The Power Pulley reduces rotational mass and safely under drives your belt driven auxiliaries for reduced parasitic power loss. The end result: More power to your M3's rear wheels! Designed to give the best performance benefit with no sacrifices or compromises to your BMW's reliability. These have been tested on hundreds of cars before public release and there are simply NO DOWNSIDES to this upgrade. CNC machined using aircraft grade 6061 aluminum billet, and anodized with a stealthy black coating. Others may advertise "their" crank pulley boasting higher numbers (using a smaller pulley profile), but we have concluded that for street and track driven M3s, this is the best size and design to ensure proper engine temp and auxiliary functionality. As the S65 M3 V8 engine doesn't use a traditional harmonic balancer, all factory harmonics and dampening are fully and properly retained. We've found this pulley alone adds 10 to 14 HP and 7 to 9 Ft/lbs Torque on a stock M3 with no other mods(!!)."

Wouldn't you have to remove most of the center console to make it fit Passenger Seat replacement Clip in

I followed a similar kind of person driving a similar kind of vehicle through the burbs towards Milford one morning. For about 2 kilometers they achieved a maximum speed of 25kph, and slowed at every intesection joining the main road we were on and all but stopped at one of them for no reason. Then when we arrive at a traffic light controlled main intesection severe indecision reigned surpeme. Finally a lane was selected and we progressed through. Heading out of this busy intersection and into the busy main street of Milford she starts veering to the right, so I assumed (wrongly) that she was going to turn right into a side road. How silly of me! She then drives up the wrong side of the road until she gets to the pedestrian crossing outside (with safety islands in the middle of the road) the New World. I'm now along side her giving it loads on the horn. She is now on the crossing and decides that maybe she hasn't quite got it right so then turns right angles to the road and drives across the crossing! Now she's behind me at the red lights. So I jumped out, ran up to her door, wrenched it open (much to her surprise) and give her a serious ear bashing. To which she replies "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry". My parting shot was "You need to pull your car over and stop driving right now, because you're sh*t!" I should have grabbed the keys and thrown them away.

hi all i have just got off the phone to brent about a crank pulley for my s50b32, he said he did not have one but told me there is guy on wellington that rebuilds these engines so tha might be worth a shot, does anyone know who he is or have any contact numbers for him thanks Arron

Nice car, not sure about the prices of e30 matching the akl property market for standard spec cars though?

I'd start with bushes before coil overs. Thought mine were good untill I pulled them all out. Much tighter now!

Keep some crushed bits of porcelain in the car as a last resort. Will shatter the window when thrown with a little bit of strength. I know this works from experience. (I am not a car thief or any kind of thief so don't go there )

So no one debadges 530i but either side yes! Love it! Thanks for feedback, Wellingtonians beware the Space Grey bebadged monster!

It wasn't meantioned if he was out yet...

A mate who visited here and drove the entire length of the country on holiday once said to me: "can't design them, can't build them and can't drive on them!" Driving isn't rocket science but for some it may as well be!

At the moment one of my rages (that hasn't already been mentioned) are the rotten swine that scoot past the traffic queue in a turning lane, then merge back into the traffic down the road. Mostly happens in Wellington heading towards the terrace tunnel, they'll take the Willis st lane and cut across at the lights. Dangerous, annoying and only holds up the traffic more. For some reason it usually happens in moderate traffic, so there's still good flow. They maybe only save 20 secs at best, beats me why they do it. Sheer arrogance in my opinion. Yesterday a white Lexus did it and I'll be damned if I didn't consider putting 1.6 tonnes of German bumper against the side of their car. That's one thing I like about the e32, bumpers that bump. Those meaty plastic shields have had a few scrapes by dullards with no concept of spatial awareness over the years. Mostly car parks or someone attempting to cut across a few lanes in traffic. Grab $2-50 cash off the offending driver, light sand, plastic paint and she's as good as new Modern bumpers are sleek but if you use them they crumple and scratch.

She's a living night mare on New Zealand road's mate how many of these issues do you want? Sits in middle of right lane double carriage then turns left missed his turn off Truck and trailer pulls out of drive way turns right cutting off on coming traffic and 3 other vehicles in the lane he wants. When straightened up uses half of medium section to travel 80 odd mtrs to turn right into another drive way. Push bikers riding four abreast The old favorite travel at 88kph until you come to a passing lane and then speed up too 100 odd so no one can pass when lane finishes slow down to 88 again.
