Hi all, I have just ordered a G81 M3 Touring, my first ever BMW. In fact it will be the second BMW I have ever driven, the first being the demo G80 M3 Comp xDrive sedan from the dealership. This car is my dream car, and I am really looking forward to enjoying it for a long time.

Just about every E87 I see has been abused. Just like the E36's and E46's of years gone. Soon it will be just the loved ones left and the price may go back up. Or they will be forced off the market by a government acting like we are as rich as Norway. Why aren't you all buying 100K Tesla's yet guys? Can I interest you in this absolutely f**ked fresh import Leaf with a range of 55kms?

Yes it is a factory order and no I have not received a build slot yet. The colour is Isle of Man Green with black wheels, black brake calipers and a black leather interior.

I went into the ballot for a GR Corolla and never got lucky. I was less than amused when I saw them start to appear on Trade-Me later being sold "for personal reasons..." Yeah right, about 76000 personal reasons... 😒

Interesting that both the Chch and Hamilton dealer demo G81’s were on trade me <24h before being taken down (both at rrp) so clearly the demand is there. I love the idea of an M touring but think I’d take an Alpina B3 instead

Congratulations. How much are you planning on selling it for when it arrives?

Speaking of projects, eighteen months on from this: We have this: Admittedly spent more time on the hole in the side of our house than on cars, but we’re back. Have more space and *slightly* more time. Sam at @HELLBM has taken care of the oil leak that came free with the car, great service. Up next, the cooling system, and then hopefully some fun stuff like suspension.

Picked up a 330e today after thinking about getting a Prius PHEV. 2016 with only 18k on the clock, it's almost new! Not an M-sport so it's missing a few options and has black wheels which I don't like, but it is in immaculate condition. $27k plus on road shenanigans. Very well rounded package with plenty power, diesel levels of torque, and manages 4.5l/100km from Otahuhu to Hamilton in peak hour. Electric range seems to be about 25-30kms which is plenty to get me around Hamilton and offset my weekly trip to Auckland. It's also nice to have only BMWs in the garage

7 Years in Japan, not a mark on it. 1 week in NZ already chipped and scratched. Gah!

Pug was written off, was hit in the back just had to be after i sorted all the issues. :sigh:

Pulled the cluster out of the E30, removed the odo head, removed one gear, removed two gears in tiny little bits, remove d what was left of the drive gear. This leaves a knurled bush on the driveshaft which has to be removed. It should slide off. If not, squeeze it with a pair of needle nose pliers, rotate 90 degrees, repeat, and it should slide off. Not if some F&^%^* %&^*&* has superglued the bl**dy thing to the shaft, it won't...
