Not really updating anything, Just putting it out there I've been on the fence with parting with it for a while. I've been thinking about moving to something newer, (e9x 335i) or throwing the swap into a coupe and turning it full track car. If anyone is actually interested though, I may be persuaded to part with it even though I never thought (or still even think) I actually would.

bought a 2006 525i wagon a couple of weeks ago and i have been so glad that i did! its such a nice drive!

Money will need to be spent.

Transit power!!

Took 2 weeks to arrive , fitted perfectly . If you got the time and the patience its worth the effort to do it and save a heap of $$$

Cuz pfl is better

Pretty sure fl and pfl are different shapes for the kidneys. Ie you cant fit fl to a pfl nose panel and vice versa.

I also have two BMWs which delight in taking turns in being pulled to bits, one after the other. Its like a big merry go round, the wife never knows which car she will be taking to work Those poor stupid other people in their reliable Corollas, how boring their lives must be!

Parked beside missbm Sylvia Park rd, she going north on the motorway. Try to drag her at the lights, but I had a 50 ton disadvantage. Than the rest of the m3 clan coming from Mount Wellington heading north on the motorway. Bugger I didn't have my dashcam on.

That list doesn't seem to bad

Mate I dont think its a shove it approach. Would be nice if you could stop tirading around the site spreading BS. I understand you are the type to create a bee in your bonnet about thing when there is no problem but it really has to stop. Its not healthy aye and just makes you angry for no reason. James and myself both work in IT. a little known fact for people outside of IT is that winter time in IT is silly season. Me personally I have just finished doing 2 months straight of 90 hour weeks. James is the same. We barely have time and do what we can when we get moments. Ollie is off running a business but has commited to getting the store up and running. The new software now enables a much better shopping cart and logicistic experience which is cool. Right with that out of the way, We have a couple of options for skins for the new site. We have been looking at a darker translucent theme and lighter 'work friendly' skin as well. We just need to combine it so we get some common consistancy across the look and feel.

Hi Guys, first post but old member (roscoe.. ) from 2003. go easy , Recently bought a 2006 530i M in QLD and had the air compressor and dryer replaced (under warranty $1700AUD) as a chirping sound was coming from the A/C, the sound would happen when it was engaged and turning at speeds between 30 and 50 km/h. The A/C guys said it was compressor, so they did the repair in 2-3 hours and never replaced the TX valve alongside the air compressor (which I've been told they need to). The sound never went away. I work from home so don't drive it often, I've done around 500km since the repair 4 weeks ago. Last week The A/C stopped blowing cold air even with the 4 cold bars in the iDrive setting. The A/C guys had another look and said it was TX valve is blocked/faulty. Also The chirping sound stopped at the same time A/C stopped blowing cold air. So I suspect the TX valve if it is the problem was the initial problem I wanted fixed. My question is.... Does the mechanic need to remove the dashboard to get to the TX valve. I had 1 mechanic say yes and another say no, and Google i'm getting mixed results. I rang BMW service centre and they said yes but they have never done that repair before haha Here are some pictures of my ride. https://goo.gl/photos/i6D8UE9HST1fVGKj9 https://goo.gl/photos/A3FstonuHoUAr41k6

Considering how much it costs to be a member here I think Josh and James are doing a damn good job! Perhaps if you don't like it so much he can refund you your membership fee?

Looks good, just less inconspicuous for those who use this at work
