The f**king Kardashians. f**k them all.

So I bought this off a client at work. She needs some work. Rocker cover gasket is leaking and rear main seal has had it. She drives beautifully!! NZ new and most of the history is available and 3 original keys. Hehe so stoked 2001 and 1 NZ owner! 200 ks on the clock but shes been well maintained

Angle Eyes... Manuel Gearboxes... Learn to spell FFS

i still wish OBD2 recorded engine "hours". I bet heaps of them low KM imports would have sky high hours on the engine.

People who received a rates decrease.

Got 23 l / 100 km around Taupo (m3) . First time I've seen an expected range of less than 300 km on a near full tank.

+1 add Vodafone billing, Vodafone sales, Vodafone installations, Vodafone Complaints... Infact all of Vodafone less their social media (twitter) team. Whom actually did something. I haave the most ridiculous story just to get broadband installed you wouldn't believe half of it.

Meanwhile I'm hoping mine goes up with my new valuation later this year Bought just over current RV, and IMO house is quite undervalued. Will be easier to sell with a more realistic valuation

It should be displayed right with the mileage in my opinion.

Overall running hour is recorded in the MSS54 together with a few more things.

A mate in the UK took his test in his Dad's Mercedes E55 wagon after the instructors car was driven into on the way to the testing centre... He passed, but did say he was concerned about parallel parking a bus instead of a Fiesta.

It'd be nice if it was available via standard protocols but I'd be surprised if it's not recorded, you probably just need BMW-specific tools to read it out. Tom or Josh would know for sure. I know you can read total engine hours and over-rev ranges from modern (post-1998) Porsche ECUs.

Damn that's fine, LOL you did the WOF work on it so far

That's only 100 miles. I felt good about buying one with 'low' kms... next minute I've added almost a third of it's lifetime km's in a year. 30km here of there affects the price far more than anything else IMO.

It's all good my bru hahahah I understand your remarks

F**k you. I mean that in the nicest way possible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

man, this is a beauty!

No problems fortunately thanks to the angled entry... As long as I go slow!

Yes I can also sell a solar version as well which I' post up later when I get time Ive used mine several times without charging it. These are Kiwi designed and built in China

I thought it was cause the Yanks didn't like the Frenchies.

Backed up septic tanks. Arggggg And I'm not talking Sh*t either..

So what is the point in basing fuel figures off l/100km anyway. I've always thought km per litre is easier to understand. Some figure I've been impressed with over the years. All open road as I don't take notice of city consumption as there are too many instances that can change the figure significantly. E34 540i 8.6l/100km around the north island. FG XR6 Falcon 7.2 running between Akl and Hamilton. VE Holden Caprice 6.0 8.2 l/100km between Sydney and Melbourne Chrysler 300c 3.6 V6 petrol, 6.2 Melb - Syd, or 6.7 with the retarded cruise control activated. Makes my 320d 5.4-5.6 figure look like a waste of time. The ones I won't use as commuters... My old Jeep JK wrangler 3.8 V6 2" lift (or should that be 50mm...), front & rear bars, 4.11 gearing, 14l/100km with a light foot. FG XR 8 ute 10-10.5 north island driving. Ducati 1098 up around 10l/100km if I keep up it and manage Akl-Wgtn in less that 5hr 30min. Volvo 12litre 460hp 40-45 tonne 55l/100km around NZ Mack Titan 15litre 620hp 170 tonne 95l/100km Western Australia holdin it flat.

Shotgun the S54 when your parting out

Just say you work at some trade place and they give you a good discount. I still use my old works account to get most stuff at half price

How can you rant about something that doesn't exist?

I put as much petrol in my car, usually in $50.00 units. I don't know how long it stays in there...then I put some more in. I figured I have spent 2-3 odd grand on suspension alone and its a 4 litre V8. Why would I bother stressing out knowing what kms/l or L/kms or mpg it does. it's like having a missus who you just bought an engagement ring for (begrudgingly...at a price you cannot repeat to anyone) and then taking her to macdonalds hoping like hell she doesn't order a large fries as well. I mean...

tl:dr there a wee website/app called Fuelly I like to use / track my fuel usage or OR 1.1km commute to work, sue me search/view/compare other bimmers there http://www.fuelly.com/car/bmw

Doing an enforced engine swap in my own shed with no time pressures. Getting my first E30 (manual too!) to tool about in which the aforementioned is completed. Watching my toddler grow into a little boy while having fun doing boy stuff. Watching my better halfs baby bump get (much!!) bigger. Having a home and a job that I can support all of the above with. Getting the all clear from the specialists just tops it off!

Spending quality time with my boy over his birthday week-end.

Funny, I was 10yrs old when we went metric in NZ so I grew up with both, and for the most part - relate to both. Metric, being to base 10 is simpler/more logical though. 4x2 or 6x2 is still easier off the tongue than 100x50 or 150/50 Speed - both logical Distance - relate to both Measurement - relate to both Area - both but metric simpler Weight - metric Volume - both but metric much simpler Pressure - still PSI for me

So Ron, what size rims have you got on the Bimmer...just asking?

Ron do you order a 473mL or a Pint at your local?

@Ron,

After some fiddly soldering with some tiny resistors, I've got bright white LED side lights with no errors. 21st century 8er!!

mpg is pretty universally understood but 7L/100km if you prefer.

yep have seen and been in it a few times, they dont get much more presentable
