going to have a look at this 2mo, anyone else checked it out? if anyone wants the PPI report of the silver msport e91 at zip pm me, might save someone the cost.

I occasionally browse this thread for a chuckle fix . Sooo not sure this is on topic but I think its kinda related to the humorous nature of the thread... http://www.nzlii.org/nz/cases/NZMVDT/2017/209.html What I find most amusing about this decision is... why on earth would you negotiate the addition of a tow bar to a Leaf????

Nice example, mileage is creeping up there, appears to be fairly tidy overall, these tourings are such nice cars, testament to the correct way to make a car last a long long time. Anyone on here own this? Sometimes i feel almost tempted to part with my E46 and cruise a daily E36 again....but E46's are just as fun IMO. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1529197169.htm?rsqid=3c4017fac8404a04b7325901a58bbaee

don't judge a car just on the km number I have had many cars through here with high ks that have had more new parts throw at them than a 150km car

I hear through the grapevine that Instant Finance are looking for a "CIO" (which is actually an IT Manager role given the size and strategic outlook of the company). Apparently not yet advertised... I know nothing about the role or your suitability but it might be worth you reaching out?

I like. But it'd most likely be very worn out unless it's had proper money spent underneath

High k's on an engine is no problem as people generally keep up with oil servicing with BMW's but the ad doesn't give me any confidence that things like suspension etc aren't worn in your typical BMW fashion Where the interiors photos at?

My old car had crank 550hp and 800NM. sh*t was legitimately feral to drive as the torque was available immediately. It was funny, but not fun. Hence I now have an M5 with no mods and it's great.

Exactly the car I want for my wife. 535i touring motorsport in white! Nice car.

So managed a few hours on Sunday. Yay. I bought a turbosmart oil pressure regulator. Why? With ball barian (as my son says) shaft supported turbos of late, there is much increased need for oil pressure control. Please google why so you don't blame me. Installed it. It requires an oil return from excess oil pressure bled off from the supply into the turbo oil drain, adding a further hose or three. Since I haven't added any further cooling capacity apart from the change in the BMS oil thermostat which Im in two minds about (operating range far too wide, from 70degC to 120degC), I'm working on a much bigger oil cooler in its factory position perhaps running a better aftermarket thermostat. This requires much bumper off bumper on action to make sure the cooler is mounted in the correct position for the 1M air feed. I've bought the parts to run another cooler on the pax side albeit a touch smaller. Start with a new replacement drivers side and see if she's works better. So says engineering, that hp and heat output are closely related, which only goes south toward heat as you throw more fuel n boost in. So says engineering... Time to strip the old wiring add ons to the existing loom and add to the fresher loom. if all else fails RTFI. read the fuggin instructions. So bought and put together the BMS short shift kit over the BMW performance version. I chaged out all the bushiongs at the gbox end for delrin (aka hard as f*ck plastic) and the rear with a stock BMW but new. Ready to go in. So looking at the PS and radiator tanks, there is plenty of room to the East, so a few lines made up and she's there. Otherwise we are getting there slowly.

Ha! Sorted now anyway. Thanks
