This is a lovely counterpoint to the monstrosities that are the iX and the XM...love this colourscheme too. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3611774149

Unexpectedly we might be moving a bit sooner than I thought and my classic e28 has been far more daily competent than I thought it would.. So the big 7 does not get the road time to justify it sitting there! Lots of details in advert, genuinely an amazing and rare car: https://www.trademe.co.nz/3603075905 Would entertain offers here, asking $38k on Trade Me, which vs pricing on the older E65 seems legit. I also can supply the android mirocast unit to share phone to those rear screens.

Bugger that, you can sleep in a car but you can't race a house!

I listened to it on Saturday, twice, absolute gold. His yarns about his old man are awesome

Someones who’s multi million dollar mortgage just got a whole lot more expensive.

"The big problem with Macau is that the bike racing gets in the way of a fantastic holiday" @dirtydoogle I think that Collecting Cars episode is possibly my most listened to podcast ever, he is a great story teller and ambassador for the sport.

I signed up as soon as that deal was released, it's a mere pittance after WSBK and MotoGP video passes 😬 John McG on the Collecting Cars Podcast is a must listen, absolutely hilarious

Got a new WOF after fixing a few things - PS leak / floppy seat / floppy door hinge / floppy tie rods. Do have a new thing to add to the to-do list - large amount of vertical play in my steering couple guibo causing a clunk over every speed bump... I have a rubber one here but might go for a softer grade grade poly so I feel like I've upgraded / ruined something at the same time.

And the mournful wail of two-stroke engines will no longer be heard on Sunday morning calling the faithful to their lawns and hedges... the valleys will be silent... the scent of the line trimmer and chainsaw gone forever... nothing more than a memory spoken of in hushed tones when old men gather to reminisce about the sins of their youth... Cheers...

Think its around single 57mm on both inlet and outlet sides. Just 5mths old, I swapped it for a new OEM one as I thought this was a little too noisey with my engine swap. In great condition and has a handly flange on it already. Likely fits similar vintage BMWs to the e28 (ie E30 and E24 also). Hangers already attached too. Comes with the chrome single to twin tip adapter I put on (you can sell or use that if you want). Location: Wellington Price: $100 Photos: Attached

Thought I would post this up for anyone that follows the TT - especially as it has been out of action for the past couple of years due to Covid. For the first time ever the IOM TT is going to be live broadcast, the streaming service is $40 for the duration of the event. For that price I've already signed up, the package includes replay access for 12 months. It's like Bathurst on two wheels after several lines of cocaine and all the brave pills https://ttplus.iomttraces.com/ And yes if you like BMW's there may be one or two at the pointy end of the field - https://www.visordown.com/news/racing/road-racing/peter-hickman-confirms-2022-isle-man-tt-nw200-factory-fho-bmw Even if you don't ride or follow road racing go watch some TT clips on Youtube.

Ye of little imagination

Been twice. Once - the 'real' way. On a bike, living in a garage while there. Road in before the races, road the mountain (slowly and carefully!), parked the bike and gave the keys to the landlady. Sobered up a few days later. Second was the poseurs way. Flew in, stayed in a hotel. To be honest, both are fantastic ways to visit.

Just in case you are feeling down and need a quick fix Cheers...

126,xxx km finally got a WOF! Rego'd, Certed and WOF'd.....only took a few months 😅

Pulled the tardme pin on these, look to have recaro mounting brackets etc from what I could see, dont look too out of place in an E87, plus air lumbar, heating, and ass cooling fans. Oddball JDM recaros, look to be aftermarket only - SP-JC. Cert to install them doesnt look too tricky, removing airbags being the main hurdle. Rest looks fairly legit. The car they are installed in is a bog standard poverty pack prelci 120 wreck.

Fixed.
