Gave my first born a bath for it's hopefully, new care giver tomorrow.

Some more photos <3 P.s Legit the skid was not me

Clearly you're not the target market Ron, get over it, move on. The horse is dead and getting tired of being flogged.

Haven't had much time for toy making lately but have just bagged and rat rodded a 2014 Dodge Challenger for my wife. She's always complaining that it's not fair I get to have my dream car and she prefers yank tanks... Let's hope 1/18 is good enough!!

Hi guys & gals, I have been into BMWs for years & years, but finally thought I would join Bimmersport, I live I in Wellington, I drive an E36 328 Coupe & also just got an E28 M535i,I also used to work at Shelly BMW here in Wgtn, I look forward to chatting with you & sharing experiences Regards Barry

Depends if its manual or not.

Depends on if it's manual popcorn or automatic

Few photos from the weekend (Cleaning car and also meet on the sunday)

Hahahaha Kulgan I'd like to do the same if I don't sell it. You have no idea around here, they would cut the springs, stick that horrible cheap tint on probably compete with air bubbles, throw some 90's reject chrome wheels on it that not even a holden owner would think of using. I seen it happen to a tidy old Merc. I'd probably go a step further than you and fit a RAID steering wheel like the early lambos. I've had this pic saved for a while now. Not that there is any need to modify it, a very nice car as is.

Welcome Barry, would love to see some pics of the E28

I'd be interested in doing all the PPI faults, but not buying it

Hamilton is a d*ck, but he is the better driver. Rosberg is a much nicer guy and more of a team player, but has the tendency to choke.

Pretty sure that was the work of art from my best buddie in the golf who locked the handbrake.. Idiot lol

Hope that skid wasn't you. Diff issues if so!

You would be unwise not to take out a mechanical warranty on your 135i, done 60k, especially if it is an import. Some of what has been previously said is not correct. Give me a call next week if you like. There are good policies & bad

- mechanical warranty cost $2-3000 for 3 years - servicing requirements $1000+- every 12 months or 15,000 kms - transmission fluid service $750+- - can only claim for one fault/issue at a time with an excess of roughly $250 basically, in my opinion, the costs of the above are usually more than enough to cover most minor faults that you will have with a car thats only done 60k's. For example, if you had a faulty sensor that cost $200, you wouldnt claim that because the excess is higher. Also, because you need all servicing to be signed off by a registered and authorised service centre, you basically cant do your own oil and filter changes. (Well, you can, but you will still need to fullfill the authorised service every 12 months/15,000kms requirement otherwise they wont accept your claim in the event of a problem) You can save a lot of money by buying parts from overseas and DIY for most maintenance things if you are so inclined/willing and if this is the case, then mechanical warranty is not really suitable/beneficial. If you have a lot of money and just want to pay someone to do the servicing, then buying mechanical warranty basically will save your ass if you engine/trans blows up. but even then, usually it only pays out upto $5000 (depending on which company you choose) and im pretty sure the 135i engine alone costs more than that even if its a rebuild in which case you still will have to fork out extra on top of the payout. In my personal experience, I paid just over $2000 for mechanical warranty and only ever used it once for a faulty fuel pump which cost me just the excess of $250, but the total bill was $1800 or so (repaired at the stealerships service centre). So in the end it wasnt TOO bad but to be honest, I could have easily done it myself and the part would have probably cost me like $600. My answer is NO to mechanical warranty!

Just asked Dave. "3 mins then add the butter, horse."

Love this car to bits. Went for a nice driver out to Huia point lookout with the rest of the ECC crew on sunday afternoon- car performed brilliantly well, definitely getting rid of these landsail tyres ASAP though as they really were making me sail across the land. Can't wait to get a daily driver so she can be a weekend/garage queen. Spark plug change this weekend - May need to find someone to help me helicoil 3 valve cover threads as they've stripped themselves, no oil leaks on 2 of them but one leaking a small bit of oil into cylinder #3 causing a slight miss - hopefully can resolve fairly easily. (Dave/M3AN I hear you're the man for this? ) Thanks to Jayden (ibboostn) for building such a wonderful car - After owning her for a couple of months now I can certainly say it's the most fun car I've owned, and I'm not wanting more for once.

Will have a few befores. Haven't done many afters as haven't had the time. Excuse the dirty car.. But she's looking good. I like the ride and height. Overall would recommend

No.... its near HELLBURG

plenty of pics and info from my posts over the years 1986 M535i with a m88 , bored and stroked to 3.65L , HC pistons 11:1 , schrick cams 4" millar maf , headers , exhaust, light flywheel , carbon Kevlar clutch , 3.91 lsd remapped ecu etc , approx. 320-330hp 400Nm makes about the same power as a good m3 3.2L but at about 2000rpm lower and still revs to 7000rpm , 850ci front brakes , 540i rears , revalved sport bilsteins , kings & h&r springs, white line sway bars. had it for 11 years plus many many mods , changes , developments still has working ac , trip computer , good black leather , retrimed steering wheel etc ...

nylon fishing line and desolvit .. the safest way.

Wheels will arrive late Feb. Distance makes the heart grow fonder right? Egh On another note, team at HellBM did a nice job chucking the Vogtland springs in/ looks good, rides well. Win win!
