I think the rims look good in silver. Some contrast looks nice. You can't see the shape too well when they're black, and those are nice rims. I imagine the drive between Chch and Queenstown is very scenic.

Picked this beauty up in Rotorua from a forum member on here. What a rare colour being Malachite Green Metallic. Nz new. I plan to do a manual conversion and mtech kit on it and some nice wheels although the basket weaves look amazing. It will eventually get a full repaint. Too. Who else has an e28 or a lead on a manual conversion. The 535i has nice power I must admit.

Gidday team. My old Mercedes wagon blew out on me in January, so I thought I would throw myself into the BMW realm for a change. Went and bought a 2006 325i E91. Nabbed it from Christchurch and drove like a dream down home to Queenstown. Will be coming to uni with me in Dunners as well when semester 2 starts up. Pretty keen to black out the rims and grille soon and get her looking stealthy.

Hi Can anyone recommend a friendly independent preferably North Auckland who could so some work ( probably a smoke test to start with ) on my 2001 M54 powered Z3. I am chasing p0174 and p0171 codes and I am probably reaching the end of my knowledge and ability ( and equipment come to that !) I did try emailing a few but only one came back to me and that was Bellars and they said they don't do older cars, which did surprise me as I didn't see the Z3 as that old. Its a shame as they are the closest to home

yep, so test fit is pointless. the guard will probably drop in on the tread pattern. its a reasonably good price for what it is. keep in mind you will probably need hubcentric rings or at least plastic sleeves as they *should* be 74.1 CB as they were originally designed for the E39.

i can get you a bottle of edge 5w30 for about $55-60. let me know @M3AN

As title says, after a straight e30 pfl front bumper and a bronzit beige metallic bonnet. Cheers

Don’t need three V8’s, don’t need three V8’s, don’t need three V8’s. ?

10 litre units on special... https://www.repco.co.nz/en/oils-fluids/engine-oils-fluids/engine-oil/c/1862918079?q=%3Arelevance%3A1862918079%2F1926767971%3A10.0%3Abrand%3A1442566234 Not their best deal ever but if you need it now. This (HPR5 5W/40) is what I'm feeding the 130. When I can get the filter cap open ?

Hitting 6k already, how’d that happen? Couple of good runs for sure, Turangi pre lockdown, New Plymouth post lockdown. Just me and the M5 on that one, ? bash Mt messenger into submission. God damn thing is a beast when you unleash it, just pulls and pulls. only issue to date is the iDrive reset itself a couple of times on the run, it’s only CIC so likely I’ll update it at some stage anyway. After having non M V8s I can see where the money goes for the difference, it’s just unfortunate that you can only explore those limits too stupid crazy speeds. Give it the full jandel passing on the open road, ALWAYS fires the traction control up, on P zeros and will move to pilot sports when needed, which probably won’t be long ... Coded the stupid fed sound into the cabin out as well, it is pretty quiet but suits on long trips. I’d love more noise but ultimately it’s a five, it should define subtle power, I think it does that pretty good ? Off to Welly Friday, then the club run to castlepoint so feels like a service is coming, thosefront rotors are looking a little warn too ....... ? Best keep driving the i3 to pay for it ? all. Well it’s only money ?

Oh I think you got it Chris. There is a code. 2A43 - Valvetronic Thermal Overload. Will have a look next chance I get. Also downloading ISTA+ rather than old INPA that is half German still.

Oooh, M3 struts - have they got the brake calipers on them?

Have put on some genuine AC schnitzer type 2s temporarily until I find some style 5s or even OZ futuras. I missed out on a set of style 5s this morning because I thought too long about it. Haha

its alright, hes got the i3 to balance it all out.

Update required. Are the charms of M getting under the skin? Have you given it the jandal and loved the brutality......are you addicted to giving it a bootful. Is it treating you right?

I keep buying lotto...

oooOOOO look a shiny E39

My favourite is the f30 m performance lights, customer got some for his f31, looked amazing

Nice black E39 touring
