Hey Brent, did you do the SMG CSL flash in house, or was it done by the PO. Looking for someone to do it locally (north island)

anyone have a link please so that i can report and get it taken down....... obviously

Sorry...that is wrong.. Floods have agricultural run off which also includes sulphates that have either been introduced through agriculture , salt use on roads in winter periods and historical coverage by sea sea water which could be millions of years ago. A flood's a flood. Electrical components and wiring will be damaged. There is no way I would touch that at the half the price the bidding has gone to

Hi all As you may have guessed - I have just joined the group. I run a 2008 BMW 135i, N54 twin turbo with Stage 1 tune.I also own a Toyota MR2 Turbo for clubsport purposes, and am a member of the Harbour Capital Car Club. I previously owned a stock-standard 2002 BMW 330i for about 7 years. In between the two BMWs I suffered through an Audi S4 - until I came to my senses and saw that the repair bills were not going to stop. Before those three, I owned a WRX STi v3 - a fantastic car that I managed to dry-sump around an autocross track, with horrendous consequences! I have also owned - among others - two Toyota TownAces, a Commodore wagon, an Austin 1800 Land Crab (really), and a Mark 1 Escort - which was great fun. I'm now back again with a small RWD car that has enough grunt to keep me interested. My purpose in joining this group is to find out more about the forum and about my car, and hopefully to join with others on runs and non-competitive events around the Wellington area. I am also a member of some Facebook groups that focus on 135i/335i vehicles and N54 engines. I look forward to learning more about this forum over the coming months and years. Talk again soon. :-)

Hey folks, great to join! Just purchased a 2013 M135i and loving it, check her out below. My favorite is in manual mode in second on a trailing throttle YUSSSS! Look forward to learning and sharing. Cheers!

Went to a drag day over the weekend. Finished second in DYO, broke out in the final by 0.6 of a second. Car was running super consistent, I just need to sort an over heating issue when the car is not moving. It starts getting hot when sitting in line and especially during burnout, but once moving it cools back down. Might need a better fan. Set the fastest time so far, 15.75. Not bad I think for a stock M30B35 with 3.07 diff.

Nice E39! That was a good wee cruise through Newtown this evening.

At 100k & 10 years old it's a money pit

Sulco Tools or SnapOn will have them 7 8 9 10 11 12 & 13mm spanners are required to cover work on all Euro brake systems. Follow your damaged brake line back to the next fitting and take it off with the correct spanner and just get a second hand brake line from the wreckers. Do not use a gas torch or vice grips when working on brake components

Exactly, you need to take it for what it is - an interesting custom build.

I got to watch this project from the first "are you mad!" idea to completion and with the exception of a small number of people I'd be surprised if anyone has the first clue at what went into building it... that said, It's worth exactly what someone is willing to spend, end of story... It's always interesting to see "experts" come out of the woodwork but take it from someone who's driven it a lot... It's one hell of a car!
