The Warehouse has this really nice brand, Samson, for cheap. Buy two and you will observe there is a colour difference...

Bought another BMW. Typical me. Passed a PPI with every single box getting a tick and no issues. Life is choice

Fresh out of paint shop to clean up stone chips and minor dings

Pretty sure thats lamp oil and BBQ cleaner..

oils quite black for a service... did they drain the oil cooler properly of old oil and re-prime before putting the new stuff in?

So I went out to the car tonight to get something and low and behold I discover this in the door I put on. And we all know what that means.. I've got another 3 door handles to swap over now.. ha ha

These photos taken in April 2008.

I didnt want to get involved in the oil argument, again, but my S50B30 was very happy on 5W40 Valvoline Synpower.

Hi guys, I've got this woodgrain steering wheel sitting in my room. I bought it about a year and half ago for my Shuttle but never got round to installing it. It's in pretty good nick, looks semi-restored. The black line is wearing on the right hand side and there's a bit of the line detail missing on near the top left (all visible in the photo). It says "Made in Italy" on the back with the numbers "47928". It was sold to me as a Nardi but it doesn't have the signature on the back. It will come with button horn and leather cover (which is in pretty bad condition but I'm certain it's leather as it grew mould when it sat in my room for a about 6 months). UPDATE: I don't have time organise shipping, pick up only in Auckland - Onehunga or Parnell. I'm fine for you to organise a mate to pick it up from me if you're outside Auckland. Sorry guys. $100 takes it. Originally I was selling to raise funds for a tow bar but no longer a priority. If there's no interest at $100 it can sit in the shed. Cheers, Manny.

You and Amber go to the same school of secrecy or what?

Been a while since I've updated this. The cars been going well. Been driving it quite a bit in some of this good weather we've been having. I've sorted out some of my wheel rubbing issues. I've also replaced my RHR window motor so all 4 now work, It's my favourite part of the car. Here's some pictures from a couple weeks ago taken after a Legit/Split meet. Enjoy

?

Hah! I got 7 (yes seven) bottles of 5w30 edge for $280 at that same sale. I win the internet. For the OP, I suggest buying 3x 5litre bottles (which will do two services) than buying the 1 litre bottles as its cheaper. Super cheap will have another oil sale soon I'm sure.

In realoem did you enter the last 7 digits of your vin number, or just enter the date of manufacture etc? In other news a friend and I enjoyed sushi at your cafe yesterday. It was very good and your father is very friendly.

I love how everyone thinks I'm baller as I wish, but unfortunately not. Saturday is D Day so stayed tuned. MISSBM 2.0 TBA

Bugger, now you are going to have 3 mismatching colour doors/handles

Haha yeah they are cool, I have them on the facelift, BONUS

Okay, so seeing as this is a guessing game I'll play. I'm gonna guess a blue e46 M3 CS

I was sitting in the office watching them work on it through a window and saw the moron sling the rim into the car. I guess my mistake was yelling at them to get it out of there. So it was probably scratched on the way in and again when he took it out. It takes a special kind of special to do something as moronic as this.

Bloody careless morons with no brain!!! Make sure it gets sorted satisfactorily Dave

hahahahaha thats awesome yet annoying at the same time

thats cool. was that a feature from a later car? seems odd that something as high spec as the 750i wouldnt get that standard.

Careless f-wits. Have heard a few stories like this from that business. Know how ya feel!

If it weren't for that interior I'd be tempted. I have no problem with light on dark (I have Lotus White on black myself) but the two-tone plastics don't do it for me.

Looking cool Dave

^^ bastards mate, feel for you, go hard at the boss

One down. Four to go. The paint had a nice bright finish to it until I put on the super hard drying clear coat and it's gone quite dull. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I think I'll explore other paints on some corrugated iron till I find a finish that works.

Haha sorry. I will get it home this weekend and be sure to get a thread for it.. Already have a cart full of car parts (not again ). I swear with all the time and money I put into each of these cars I could of just saved and gotten an M4 by now haha (kidding) The car was a steal so has left me a bit to work with. The plan is to get it looking like one of the best examples in NZ - not bad when it's already in Excellent Cond!

just picked up 3 bottles of this at supercheapauto bathurts special for $44.95 a bottle. stoked!

Penrite HPR5 is currently $60 odd bucks at SCA.

I'm curious by nature so this has really got me wondering. Thanks for throwing that out there Amber but not sharing the good bits...lol Like everyone else I'm looking forward to seeing what you got yourself now.

Nice wheels.

I can have a look, wouldn't think so though (all would have been in glovebox). Ill see if I can fish out some old pictures of when we had it, can still remember the day we picked it up when i was only 12.

That may sort him out, but what should he do about the brakes?

Congrats Martin - you have lifetime membership on your man card! Seriously great work! Now you get to enjoy it!

that is a great price..too bad i already placed the order with milland $180 for 2 pulleys and drive belt. good enough for me considering ill be getting it on monday and help out the local business
