Looking for $7,000 for a Bimmersporter, hoping to save the pain of the tyre kickers off of TradeMe More photos to come once I have chance to take some better ones.

Thanks Jon. I'm so excited for my new daily. I already have ideas for improvements.

Yea mate. It's time for babara to join an internet dating site for old overweight singles

Cos dual 3 inch tips just werent gonna do the 6 litres of justice?

the woman at VTNZ couldn't answer that and said I needed to ring NZTA.... I will build up the mental strength to tackle that next week sometime.

Tonys tyre service always seem to have sharp pricing on em.

Nearly finished the mechanical refurb and conversion to right hand drive. Next it will be rotisserie time and several months scrapeing and sanding!

@Mark Wilson Awesome looking project mate

I go away and come back and relearn it all every 5 years or so, stops it getting out of control chasing the latest and greatest and keeps it interesting. Now is a good time to relearn it all with the new gear being released, with a solid jump in performance Vs the last 5 years of incremental mediocrity.

Some onboard if anyone is interested, havent got the gopro set up right, like alot of things it was untested prior to the first stage. Still plenty to learn with the driving too, have the autocross season coming up, along with some rally sprints/hill climbs that'll give me much needed seat time.

Yes I'm a mad man. Posting a general discussion thread about a BMW recall, in a general discussion board, on a BMW orientated forum ? Dealer isn't open at 8pm...

BMW owner starts forum thread rather than telephoning local service department. ?

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.

Yusss.... those are the ones. Never picked them up as they are listed in a kind of strange place. I already bought some other wheels and have them on the car, but I still have some interest in the Style 216 so I will contact the seller and see if I can work a deal. Thanks for the heads up Cheers...

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...
