Because... Airbags Engine de clutter almost done. Wiring almost done. Hoping to have the beasty running be end of next week. Then will get the air ride fabricated and installed

I like your work, but IMO you have the hardest to follow way of posting, by adding it to the end of the first post. It reads better if its just added inline in the conversation.

Hi guys, Three weeks in owning this beast and first mod is installed. BMW Genuine M Performance Carbon Fibre and Alcantara Interior Trim Kit. Still missing the CF gear lever and surround. Take a look: Before: After BONUS:

Very tidy NZ new well optioned manual 535ise with a hole punched thru the block. Considering a repower with M54B30 though still undecided.

Hi Guys, Thought you might like to see my snaps from a quick visit the BMW museum/BMW Welt in Munich. I happened to be near there for work so took the opportunity to go along. It's worth the visit and if you're more organised than I am you can go through the manufacturing facility on a tour. Certainly recommend it for any committed BMW Fan, I wish I took more photos. The visitor centre is split into two areas, the museum (which was actually smaller than I expected) and the BMW Welt, which is a sort of flagship showroom where you can browse, buy and pickup your new BMW, Mini or Roller. The museum is about $15NZ to get into, the Welt is free. Here's a couple of highlights below and the rest of the photos are here: http://s64.photobucket.com/user/natsoi/Mobile%20Uploads/BMW%20Germany/story There were also new 7 Series on display at the airports, this one looks like the air suspension had collapsed... Another highlight of Germany is that when I Uber'd to the airport there was only an Uber Black available. Turned out to be a LWB 7 Series (The previous generation), black with cream interior which proceeded to drive at 180km/h to the airport along the motorway. Was quite a nice experience and an upgrade from our standard Uber back here.

The "optionals" would be the automatic engine oil and coolant recycling system which fills the stone tray and gets emptied when the service is carried out

Picked up a 2004 e60 545i auto in October last year after being unable to justify an E55 Beautiful tidy car with plenty of go. Working through various rubber and plastic issues that come with age. Previous BMW was an E34 535i which I sold some years ago. Work in IT in Wellington and my other car is a '99 Subaru Legacy GTB which is loads of fun to drive and practical (furniture collection after wife's shopping!) - but now surplus to requirements

You cannot leave a thermostat out of a BMW...it is bi functional and controls flow direction differently when hot & cold. You also leave it running while you bleed it to release air from the system. A faulty / blocked heater tap can also prevent the bleeding process as Andy has indicated. You must have temp settings at maximum range especially on duo systems without the heater fan running.

It's a great museum and the factory tour was grouse also. If anybody does go to Munchen you also must visit the Deutsches Museum, one of the best in the world. You might need 2 days for that alone (I did). It was actually there that I got to operate a BMW car assembly robot to install a front seat in an E39!

They're like the poke'mons, "gotta catch them all!"

oh no, cabbies and rain do not mix 2002s and rain do not mix cabby 2002s and rain owner will come back to a pile of rust.

As per title set of 5 wheels 16"x8" ET 35 to suit E30 M3 or E36. 5x120 stud pattern 72.6 CB. Three wheels are very good andtow would benefit from a small tidy up (kerbing) the photo is of the worst rim. $500 the set and would deliver to Mainfreight and freight to you at your cost.
