Bored on a Saturday night, crunched the colour numbers of MT2 still on the road in NZ: 6 Lachsilber 11 Diamantschwarz 4 Alpinweiss 2 Delphingrau ( @Palazzo is your old one still on the road?) 1 Zinnoberrot 5 Sterlingsilber 4 Brilliantrot UK Sports: 1 Lachs / 2 DS / 1 AW / 1 Delphin / 1 Brilliantrot (C2 2.5 Alpina) / 1 Granitesilber. Japan Mtechnic 325i's - 2 or 3 so far. There will be more, and there are plenty that have been written off.

UK Sport has the close(r) ratio 260/5 gearbox with shorter ratios between 1st and 3rd gears: G260 - 3.83 / 2.04 / 1.34 G260/5 - 3.72 / 2.02 / 1.32 The UK Sport wasn't available as an auto. @Palazzo I assume @Sammo meant NZ new mt2 coupes WITHOUT the black headliner. Team McMillan had a red one for sale back in 2001 for $16,995 but they wouldn't take my 60K mile Jaguar Sovereign on trade 😂 can't remember the rego though... I have a sneaking suspicion it was the zinnobar one recently for sale.

Correct - I mean if it’s one that’s been retrofitted with one, the Bimmersport hive mind (or @Neil McCauley) may already be aware of it.

Did you do something cool over the break period, or snap a pic of anything wicked over the year? Share 'em here for us to oogle while we're back at work or winding down. I took the hard top off and went camping. Convertibles are pretty much just fancy utes anyway right?

3 (4) Polaris kiwi new in '86 5 Lachs 5 Diamant (one not registered until '89) Can't find any NZ new Delphin UK Sports: 2 Delphin / 2 Diamant / 3 Lachs

Hi Neil, so the NZ new M325i only had the ‘standard’ G260? I can remember the difference in the ‘boxes was quite noticeable when driving.

Changed the Rotors and Pads and all the small brake bits on my 130 on the weekend. Was the easiest and smoothest brake change I have ever done. It makes such a difference when the person who last did something on your vehicle did it correctly with the correct tools and the right amount of care. So thanks to @GorGasm for either doing this right or having had someone capable of doing it. Also those brakes lasted 70K which is amazing. Febi Bilstein pads and rotors came off. Brembo pads and rotors went on.

FTFY To be fair though, the side profile is one of the least offensive angles of it. the front and rear are both 🤮🤮
