Sold the 328 coupe for 1900. Paid $1000, spent $300 on it, swapped the Motorsport kit for standard over to the touring which is the same colour. Think I came out alright from it

Good to catch up today Conor and take her for a drive. Quite a peppy beast I must say, certainly seems dialled in and loves to give back above 4k RPM. Lucky we didn't lose her when that dude ran the red light (real late too!). Lots of little project items for you to get your hands dirty with too and if you need ideas check out my project thread. I still reckon you should get Brent to install that shock mount for free!

fitted some stickyer road rubber to my E28 M535i now I can use all the power bridgestone potenzas RE003 235/45-17" so far seam good thanks reid

When does the s54 go in?

I don't beleave you. I apologise for the terrible pun

he's lucky he is doing this in New Zealand. Do that crap in asia and many parts of Europe he would be dead by now.

Congrats Alex! Pity we couldn't meet up on your way up, but definitely need to got these two Avus Blue classics together for a photoshoot soon. If I had a slot free in my shed for another car, an E46 M3 would be high on a very short list, as it's a great daily driver. My current daily driver is an Amarok............ Chalk and cheese of course but as a daily driver, a race car tow and service vehicle, plus transport for 2 Labs, the 'Rok has no peers! I'm sure you know heaps about the M5 already, and I'd be really interested to hear your feedback of the driving experience. As I said to you, I am more of an Audi fan than BMW (ducks), but ever since the first M5 came out I've had a huge desire to own one. In the year of owning mine I've put on about 5000 km, every one a total driving pleasure. I'm stunned by the sheer grunt of the engine, the massive torque from the very bottom of the rev range, the instantaneous throttle response from the normally aspirated engine, the brilliant steering on lock (a slight vagueness about the straight ahead courtesy of recirculation ball setup, unique in the E39 range due to space constraints), the short throw 6sp manual gearbox, and the wolf in sheep's clothing stealth. Things I don't like? Having driven Audi quattro for 20 years, I still haven't got used to the danged traction control lighting up so regularly. Much improved since fitting a new set of Bridgestone RE11s. And the horrific fuel consumption. But in an occasional uses car not a huge problem. That's about it. The E39 M5: last of the pure Driver's M5s!! And before Bangle screwed up the styling!! The epitome of the Ultimate Driving Machine

Thanks for the interest. I'll pm people when the parts arrive. A mate of mine has an e46 touring so I can check when they are ready. I'm also getting some rtab reinforcement plates cut. I'm only getting a couple because I may need to edit the design.

Yea planing to do something similar and will tie it into cage. Will work it out once diff is sorted incase I use my winters one

I watched him on "How Briton was built". As I got to the end of each episode it started getting hard on my ears listing to " That's a proper job that is".

Having lunch with him now.

Was the LS out of a dirt track car?

I think its like "Heart gerrr"

nice gearknob!

Calling it a " Volvo Estate " is somehwta under selling it.

Guy Martin has turned down an invitation to host Top Gear. He said that being a truck fitter was his chosen career, and that it would always come first. The comparatively small amount of television work he currently does is hard enough to fit in around his job and bike racing, and that presenting the show would mean changing his life altogether. “Yes, you might earn squillions of pounds, but I earn enough here to keep me in push bikes,” he said. “I don’t want to live like a rock star. I drive a Transit van and a Volvo estate. Although having said that, my Snap-On tool bill is quite high.” Kind of a shame. Sounds like he's a 'real' person and would have been a breath of fresh air, for the first series at least.

188 mm is medium case. Small case are 168mm

She runs now. Now it's finding all the nigly hard to get parts. Like roof and maybe seals just incase. Wish me luck guys!

Would love him to come back on here & see the community consensus of him & his antics

]A couple of finishing touches: M Track mode button and BMW Concept Plate.

I adore this color. Couple of photos nice and clean. Tints done by carfolie last weekend. Spent 2 hours waxing. o.o

My E31 scrapes on fallen leaves. Reversing into parks is a must.

Brent likes to avoid trademe costs by using one auction for all his cars, just changes the details You'd probably also have noted it was a wagon (I think) with 270,000 km.

My old car. Gutted as all f**kery that It comes up when I have another baby due and the wife aint working. GLWS!

OMG. I want those wheels. Bad.

Even though you necro'd a thread, this would be cool if they were available again

my mate with a e36 328Ti track car has put his hand up for it , but im not sure I want to give him that advantage

I was really keen for one of these but I had completely different $$$ on my mind. Wake up call....Will never make it
