Been a while as I don’t drive this too often - car has been reasonably faultless - only a service so far and steering rack knock fixed (common issue apparently). This weekend I took advantage of the nice weather, took a gulp and handed the wife the keys to the E30 and took the F31 solo camping at Tawharanui. Naturally feels like a Rolls Royce on the open road compared to the E30. Next mission I reckon I’ll take the E30 camping as pretty sure I can get all the same stuff squeezed in there and it will make for better photos haha.

That's a lot of engine. I'm a few $ short but I'd talk to Atlas. They do a kit to convert diesels to run on 90% hydrogen.

This is mine, I think I'm allowed link it here. If nothing else it's a rarity you might like to window shop! 2010 Audi Q7 V12 Tdi Quattro https://www.trademe.co.nz/4355977990

My goodness - the plate history on that car is dizzying Plate Effective Date CKE614 22-Dec-2004 MMMPWR 09-Oct-2004 CDC836 02-Jul-2004 DDGDD 30-Apr-2004 BTT129 30-Jan-2004 E46M3 13-Jan-2004 BSW377 05-Jan-2004

Ive got some genuine BMW sound deadening pad spare if you ever want some to fill in gaps. Guessing tourings have more of it after that pictured front beam?

Sold to a like-minded enthusiast in our awesome Club. I am incredibly pleased it has gone to such a good home.

Pretty well sorted 135 up at the Museum in the Domain, anyone we know?

In diesellandia as I am with my F25 X3 30D, I use Penrite diesel fuel biocide treatment, it kills the diesel bug and keeps your fuel lines and injectors clean. I can’t remember the actual concentration, about 30ml each time I fill up is a scratch over the recommended running dose. On the side of the container are instructions for quantities for treating deep clean and also infestations. Wouldn’t hurt to try a good dose of that through yours. I certainly noticed a difference on mine when I first treated it. have you established with a scanner when the last DPF Regen was? I’d guess you’re getting it up to temp and sustained temp with a fully charged battery for it to kickoff when required. If there’s anything preventing the regen in terms of operating state prerequisites, you might need to get that taken care of. Also, check for recall - there’s a recall globally for n57 - something to do with coolant and DPF, I forget the details. Continental have the parts to do mine on back order. HTH
