Thanks!... I may have a sickness ?

Hello everyone, new here. I have recently purchased a well used 535i Manual in Silver. Seems to have been fully loaded when it was new. Electric seats, a/c, possibly sport steering wheel and gear knob. But i don't really know haha. If anyone can run the numbers im keen to know.

E30's can fly ?

Bumper and under trays back on, number plate on temporarily, test drive around the block, airbag light on, bugger ! Will have to check code and clear so I can sort that, hopefully just from having so many airbag parts disconnected over the last few weeks. Certainly goes better now than when I collected it, trans is much happier, a LOT less smoke! New front suspension arms ordered, that should sort the shudder under brakes. Will take it for a WOF on Friday / Saturday and get a new to do list! Photo in the dark shows the bumper at its best...

And you're recommending we... buy your cursed ex-car?!

The release data on the rx6000s looks legit, and the smart access memory stuff with Zen3 looks like a no brainer for new systems. Intel must be shitting emselves.

Little treat for the 46 arrived today; a set of pretty mint and rare Piano Black interior trim - always wanted a set but never seen it for sale before until a little good fortune on Sunday. Should look a lot nicer than the carbon cube I have. Never realised Piano black had a subtle metallic in it - very nice. Hope to get it in before this Sundays AKL meet up.

Those last three motorsport pics are epic.

Fantastic collection! Edit: When does the 190e or W124 arrive on the drive?

Missing the M3, can't wait to get it back on the road again.

@Autoglym @Aaron Muir and Ronnie (forgot your username sorry). As well as me, but my M30 isn’t in the car yet hah

Hey on the hunt for a air intake hose as mine has a crack that messes with air flow sensor, any leads would be greatly appreciated . thanks ! (pictured below)

You'd have to replace your projectors\reflectors in headlight assembly with units designed for LED for it to be legal (assuming they meet the a recognized standards here in NZ) Replacing existing bulbs in headlights and fogs with LED's is a bodge job because it's likely going to blind oncoming traffic, which is why its a WOF failure.

My old E28. Only car I wish I still had. It was very rusty on the sills and stuff which is why I got rid of it, but man it was an awesome car with the M30, Getrag 265 and LSD. Would get thumbs up literally every time I drove it for all kinds of people, girls cheering out of car windows, owners of M3s and M5s complimenting it. I still can't believe the attention it got, with the flaking paint, mismatched fenders and pieces of rust floor falling out behind. It would do run after run at the drags with no complaints and no issues, super consistent. Even got 2nd in a DYO with it. And to add the cherry on top I made more from it than I ever spent. If any car deserved to live it was that one, and to this day I regret cutting it up.
