Gorgeous day in Auckland and got under the car for the first time in months - felt good getting hands dirty. Just replaced sway bar end links as I had disconnected my bar several months back as it was fouling on the subframe (car is too low so stock end links angle was way off). I have purchased some H&R sport springs as well as the ST springs I have in it are just too low and I want to make it a wee bit more age appropriate and wife friendly. Planning on getting out for a proper backroad workout this weekend too - have my AA plus roadside membership at the ready too 😂 Edit: Also cleaned my Spark plugs (was expecting them to be fouled again) but they looked good which was a bonus. Then managed to get rid of two OBC lights that have been plauging me for months - coolant level (connector was toast) and brake light (swapped some bulbs around). I should have bought a lotto ticket too but will take the Black Caps smoking Australia instead.

Saw this in the flesh this week in Munich at the Welt, much better in person. Not sure on the front grill, don’t think they got that bit right with the square edges however it does align to a number of squared edges across the car, the rest of the design actually comes across really well in the flesh

Seeing kiwi new E87 130i's or E90 335's with halogens always make me laugh. Top spec model and candles for headlights!? I think the biggest gripe I have would be that kiwi new cars almost always have a poverty pack stereo option. So rare to see Hi-Fi or HK systems, let alone Individual audio.

That changed many years ago, probably around early 2010s, NZ new cars are now amongst the highest specced of any market. Compare them against similar year Jap or UK imports. Agree some earlier models do seem to be a little under-whelming in terms of options.

They are in parallel with the front door speakers, so it'll be an equalizer thing, or your front door speakers wouldnt be working either.

More like allowing the stupid to stay alive. There is also a button you can press to turn it all off if you really want to find out how much talent you have actually got.

Either its blue and you are blind as a bat, or you are trying to save face by saying you are talking about a different set of pictures...
