Yeah he was very passionate about cleaning his cars. One of the last meets was a cold wet day but he spent 6 hours the day before cleaning his car immaculately. I posted this last night but heard mixed stories about his status so I'll repost here; We sadly lost touch after his focus switch from cars to family and futsal. One of last times I caught up with him was when i purchased the Hartge wheels off him, he sold them to me for what is considered a steal compared to what they are worth as he knew they were going to a good home and he would get to see them used. He was genuinely a nice guy and always happy to help. He will be missed

Really enjoyed admiring this car via the forum. I remember thinking the attention to detail was just fantastic. So sad that this moment of hate and madness has snuffed out so many lives.

Really nice words Josh. Atta was one of the greats. I didn't know him overly well, but when we did catch up it was always like reconnecting with an old friend - he was an incredibly gracious, humble, funny guy who always had a smile on his face. RIP Atta.

Great to meet you too, I really liked your 330i very tidy E46, just dont tell too many people how little you paid for it.

Yep very keen for that at some stage. Cheers!

I believe I have a set of both E28 and E30 somewhere, will have a look and see if they're the same

Happy to take you for a run in it Glenn so you can get a feel on it ?

Awesome. I see this in my future too......my e38 only has 110km on it but has noisy suspension.......I like the concept of your change.

B12 pro kit all in, replacement rear suspension arms and links while I was there. Definately a firmer ride but still very compliant, really nice feel. Needs an alignment now to finish off. First impressions are it’s nicely aligned to the natural balance of the car and will make it more of a B road runner which was what I was after so currently very happy. Drops a few cms so looking sharp

There will be one more soon.. Importing one from the U.K.. Hopefully bring it along to a meet..

Once the money is in your PayPal account you can withdraw it into your bank account more or less straight away

It was great meeting you today, John. Bryan says thanks. See you around and hope you get your 335 sorted soon. All the best mate.

In Melbourne, suns shining, beers are flowing. Oh, and there is some car racing going on. Choice bro!!

Hi everyone, Haven't posted on here in a long while - but just wanted to let you all know of a fellow BS member who sadly passed away in the mosque tragedy on Friday. Atta Elayyan, known on here as 'crazyarab' has been named as one of the people killed at the Al Noor mosque. He was a regular contributor to the forums since 2007 - many of our long standing Christchurch members knew him and his cars well. The last BMW he owned was this E30 V8. He also previously owned an E36 M3 and a silver Tech II M325i, all which sported the number plate 'CRZARB' Atta was a talented software developer, a member of the All Whites Futsal team, and has a young family. I'm sure you will all join me in sending condolences to his family and friends. Incredibly sad news. - Mark.

Thanks Mark, RIP Atta, Ill re-post what I wrote on facebook, Brother I can't even fathom this.I will eat some of my own advice in my hazy tears.. And remember the good times.Learning today your passing in this terrible terrible incident.I remember how OCD you were and we use to joke about our problem when modifying E30s of how it needed to be perfect or why try.How wheels where everything to make the look of a car, how the way a car looked is also how it should perform.When I would travel to Christchurch to perform in Antiform and make sure we caught up between flights and sound check with Cliff. My thoughts are with you, your wife and little one in these dark times.You won't be forgotten brother. New Zealand stands with you and the Muslim community.If anything this will insight community lead world change.RIP Brother... RIP Josh

Fuel consumption is down nearly 20% since replacing the thermostat, awesome. @$#%@# it has been like that for the last 2 years. Strange that a shop didn't comment on the code in the ECU...
