yea, why go out on real dates when theres camgirls etc?

who cares about the damn legs when the car looks this good? Weirdos.

Well. That derailment. Anyways a cars paint distorts legs. They're much better in person :,D

Wreckers don't really need to sell such things quickly, I'm sure he isn't fussed if it sits in a container for the next year or so until someone comes along to pay the price. Either that or it'll get transplanted into another car and into the hellbm fleet.

Sounds great, I'll try and get a clip up sometime. Good thing is that it's not just that annoying drone all the time, just a good sound under acceleration. Very happy!

sweet ..cup half full .... conversion time. m54b30

Bahahahahahahha

I once said never, I guess never say never?? When you don't get invited for test drives, just buy one LOL. What can you do when the wife says "yep this one" His and hers : )

Really? IMO Style 5s are perfect for E28s and E30 (if you have the time and money to convert to 5 stud). Or did I misunderstand?

yea my mate has always wanted 540i but only wanted a good well cared for tidy one just the mtec kit yes have to go through the rereged process not anymore yea manual would be nice , but I don't think my mate can afford that cost unless I give him a kit yes nice build spec , sport seats , sports suspension , but could do with some new shocks now

I was glad they canned the first one, least this way they had the full band since Christie Mcvie wasn't coming before, or to dunedin.I would of put car parts off to see them, said they'll be back but wait and see I guess

Drove it home from Fleetwood Mac. Awesome concert! Lindsey Buckingham is the man!!!

BNZ for the win. 13.45% (most other banks are over 20%) and flybuys. Our mortgage is with BNZ also so we get heaps of flybuy points each month. The rewards are pretty cool - I've got a powerbuilt tool box, trolley jack and jack stands, tools etc. The wife has got heaps of kitchen gadgets, which double up as rewards for me too. This reward took exactly six months to save up points for; https://www.flybuys.co.nz/rewards/powerbuilt-9-drawer-racing-series-tool-chest

This. Exactly what I do. Everything on Credit Card and just pay the bill the coming month to avoid interest. All my own spending plus I control all the bills for my Flat so another few hundred a month ontop of my own spending

But does it really matter?

The proper way to use a credit card (if you are disciplined) is to buy everything with it and then pay it off each month before you incur interest. I mean put absolutely everything on it, pay your bills, buy your groceries, petrol... my parents built their entire house using their credit card.... they got some serious rewards dollars from that. Even if you're on a modest salary you can rack up some good rewards dollars that way. I use my dollars to buy tools from Mitre 10 every couple of months. Even better, if you have a mortgage then get a revolving credit facility so you can pay down your mortgage each month and then take that money out again at the end of the month to pay off your credit card... will mean you pay less interest on your mortgage.

^^ love your style Mike.

i have true rewards, i spend about as much as any normal person i think. not very many partners that suit my interests, but it pays for all my clothing at Farmers so is nice i buy car parts and get clothed for free lol

Anything can be fixed. if it were me, I'd drill the broken out part of the bolt out. Maybe start with a small hole, and try an easy out first. sometimes when a bolt loses it's head the tension goes, and they undo easy as. I used to run 12.9 tensile cap screws (loctited in) on the flywheel of my old supercharged Datsun engine. One time after a monster over rev at the drags they flywheel came loose. (Those motors are known to do that) Most of then had the heads broken off. I was sh!tting broken glass about drilling them out on account of how hard they are. But they undid easy as. If an easy out doesn't work, then you'll need to drill it right out. Make sure you get the center punch mark in the centre of the bolt stub. Start nice and small, and work your way up. Get a mate to help sight for you, so you know that you're drilling parallel to the crack axis. Keep going up in size until it's out. I dunno how much room you'll have in your engine bay. (Might be an engine out job) If the shout of the crankshaft has fretted, whack it back together with generous lashings of loc-tite bearing retaining compound. "If at first it doesn't fit, fill it up with glue and sh!t".

[/url] [/url] [/url] [/url] Been away from the BMW for a while, but not too long in coming back. Thought I'd put some pics of my M5 ....not :-) 530 up. More than happy and cant afford the real thing....one day :-) Even although it has already had a few things done, i'll be thinking of the next changes. Glad to be back!

I did find this, http://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/792751-broken-crank-bolt-removal.html There goes my weekend.

just needs the bumper sorted and its back on the road

^^^^ IT

I'll have a complete with loom & ecu & accessories m20b25 up for sale shortly. (Auckland though)

I don't have a credit card myself, but I know my mum uses BNZ and like you said, she earns heaps of flybuys points with it which she uses to pay for flights. Also the Air New Zealand Airpoints card acts as a flybuys card and earns you status points which get you access to the Koru club, priority boarding, etc.

BAHAHAHA, love it

oh sh*t.

I think you may have to change that title

The bolt appears to have been broken off inside the crank---------throw away motor

If you are in a position to not pay any interest, then work out the highest tier card you can get which tends to have higher reward returns as long as it is more than enough to cover their higher annual fees. Spending 100k on a card per year? Sure. Paid on behalf of company to entertain clients then claim it back, big overseas trip, buy a car, yacht, jetski, bikes, etc... But platinum has other perks like complimentary travel insurance and concierge program if you ever can make use of it. Some high tier Amex cards have airport lounge access, etc. But their points program is a bit disappointing.

not sure if i can handle a crazy schnauzer puppy and manual at the same time tbh.. lol

No need to thank you mate. If I want to see the Mrs.' legs generally I just ask, not trawl through her thread hoping for a peek.

And the 3.5

I really like the wheels. I usually hate all but lip spoilers, but the clubsport one is kinda cool. Now stop spending and start saving for the conversion!

Non vanos M62. This one was built April 98' Vanos M62tu was available September 98' on.

Given that selling parts is how he makes a living I highly doubt he'd be willing to share that information!

Nice. It does seem entirely unnecessary to mask plates though, I wonder why people do it? It's not like you drive around trying to hide your plates right?

Agree about changing your profile pic to a flag to show support. Very few of these people will donate or help. Just like that sh*t Ice water challenge of which went viral yet hardly made any money for the cause because nobody actually donated or sponsored people to do it. I read about the bombings in Iraq via BBC. If you didn't hear about it I suggest stop reading left wing sh*t rags like the NZherald and stuff. The difference is that France was attacked by a foreign entity that doesn't belong there. Iraq has a tribal mentality similar to some African nations. Tit for Tat violence. Today's victims are tomorrows murderers. It is hard to distinguish the innocent.

Sometimes you just need inspirations!! I actually think the dark blues and British racing greens are the ones that can pull the amber corners look off. I was originally thinking about it for the CSL until I googled photos of it on silver grey and promptly changed my mind!!

Word. Stop praying and go do something about it, and I don't mean change your profile picture.

Over half my friends list being in support of France yet no care for countries like Iraq Syria etc that get that stuff weekly. Like changing your profile picture does anything, get out there and help if you really care so much

Number Plate ended up embedded in the front left wheel:

take a wild stab

You got that right. I'm selling this whole set for what it will cost for one tire on the rear of the 740i. Groans.

Vanos... Which I had overhauled thanks to HellBM but didn't (though should have) done guide rails.
