Not BMW but I finally got around to properly cleaning the Maserati. The paint looks and feels so much better now and will be a lot easier to clean. The gold flake really shows up now. This is my current process: 1) Wash car 2) Meguiars spray clay using a Repco Eclipse Texture Glide Pro Detailers Claying Block 3) Wash car 4) Autoglym Super Resin Polish 5) Meguiars Ceramic Wax The above takes a bit of time but the effort is actually quite low. The spray clay does almost as good a job as a clay bar but is much easier and both the Autoglym SRP and Meguiars Ceramic apply and remove very easily. I knocked the above out by hand in about 5 hours. It does make me wonder what the "premium" products provide over what I have used. Shitty photos, but you get the picture seeing the gold at the front going to black at the back.

I also had great service from him on my 1996 Audi front seat which at 140km has more wear than usual on side bolster. A touch too grippy but look great. I haven't used the car in 6 months so can't comment on the resistance to wear and tear.

Happy to put it here - this is the Franchise I used, all his contact details are on the website: https://www.fibrenew.co.nz/west-auckland/ Found email was pretty good but if you want an immediate response suggest calling.

Yes, wheel and bolster- I was surprised.

Looking around for an e28, open to anything at this stage and willing to travel. Cheers!

Hes on break and back to work on monday 11th. Highly recommend

In a workshop not far from us sits a bored and stroked M20B25 bored and stroked to 3.1 litres and looking resplendent with a set of RHD ITB's from across the Tasman...............hmmm, the problem is no car to put it in (at the mo)😟 The M Power covers are widely available off shore guys about $300 back here last time we looked. 3pedals we think your assessment of this unit is more than a little harsh. It is an S engine and remember its torque not HP that wins races😁

1957 BMW 507 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_507 The BMW 507 is a roadster that was produced by BMW from 1956 to 1959. Initially intended to be exported to the United States at a rate of thousands per year, it ended up being too expensive, resulting in a total production figure of 252 cars and heavy losses for BMW.

So, don't know if I should start a new thread some where else. But I have been busy trying to improve this old beast. Had a crack.. at the front bumper got the fog lights installed and working. Then it decides ohh I might start playing up, random misfire on idle and low revs blah blah. Read all the internet had to offer checked all mater of things. Cps had perfect ohm reading, maybe ill check the gap. Supposed to be about 1mm but I can even get a .01 feeler gauge in there. Found the issue, corrected gap and shes running like a champ! Happy 😊

To me it seems reasonable package at $700 but depends on what the buyer is wanting it for. I think the cpu\mobo\ram should sell without too much trouble at a little lower price. The rest doesn't have much value to me unless you want another machine to use as is. Someone playing modern higher end games that wants squeeze some more out of it, is going to have to drop ~1k on a new gfx card and a few hundy on a better PSU to handle it. Not so appealing from that stand point given you may as well spend a bit more and get a newer cpu. I bought my 2nd hand 4790k and Asus Ranger VII for $500 in '14.

Mines insured for 16, pretty pointless insuring for anything less than what would cost to replace.

probably none and unlikely. still a good price. I am just a bit picky as I prefer the facelift and CIC over CCC as a minimum otherwise I would have grabbed it.

Thank you, mostly to Bimmersport members & Marketplace folk. No Trademe trades were transacted. A BIG THANKYOU, for looking and sharing the information for everyone.

@Allanw Love it! Even has a bench on top
