I purchased this earlier. Will let you know if I've been scammed haha.

Hi, I have been lucky enought o own a fair few interesting cars over the past 42 years. In the BMW departement I have owned and enjoyed the following in this sort of order. 1997 740i, 1995 Black M3 coupe (with towbar if its stll around ...first intro to clutch and DMFW home replacement job) E34 525i in baby silver blue, 530i x 2, E46 M3 SMG, E46 325i MS, 750il Silver,2001 740i, 545i, 130i MS, Parents years ago had a 323i coupe in violet and a E34 520i . Currently swing back to Italian cars old Alfas 916 x 2 a Busso V6 and 2.0 Ts spider and two Maseratis which I adore and have done plenty of mile in both with BMW terminology SMG (Duoselect and Cambio Corsa) Looking for a clean M3 M5 M6 that is interesting (probably the V10 but maybe a F10.) Been doing my research around the upkeep and there is plenty of good stuff out there to help. Raining all day yesterday here in Auckland so caught up on M539 Restoration youtube whcih if you havent seen is very infomative. Owned plenty of other cars along the way and a few Ducatis. Looking forward to being part of the BMW community again!

Wasn't a scam. She's not that bad. Def new clutch. $3k for a manual 130. I'm happy. Now what to do with it. Do I steal its box for the race car and N55 the E34. Or do I just beat on this at the track.

Hah! I saw that this morning and thought it looked bloody good - great minds etc etc I do need to be in Wellington shortly to collect some items, so this could actually be a "cheap" courier.

CGA won't cover you for 3 years. Mbi is handy because if something goes wrong you pay your excess and repairs get done, no struggling to find 1500+ for possible repair. Plus you can have several repairs which would stack up. I'm not familiar with the common issues on the G20s. At the end of the day it's each to their own.

So the end result of this is that the car now has a new correctly installed OE Pilkington screen courtesy of CCBMW after S+S had put 2 new aftermarket screens in, awful whistling above 50kph with both. I swear the inside vehicle SPL is about 10dB less with the OE screen. Very happy

Just because it's dealer serviced doesn't mean anything if the owner declines to follow the recommendations. Usually once it's out of warranty, customers don't really seem to care

Got my partly broken x5 it’s own partly broken x5.

this should be compulsory viewing, at 2% of the fleet now but what happens when its 20%, imagine on the cook straight ferry

After a 2 year hiatus due to family things it was a mad 3 month scramble to get the drift e36 back together with the new gen4 6.0, ecu, wiring, gbox, clutch, exhaust etc etc. Had a few teething issues with the new cam/valve springs and cooling system but managed to get it up and running the day we need to head off for two days of drifting 😰 so loaded up and hoped for the best... and we got it, two days full noise and not a single issue, couldn't believe it lol. Now its time to dial in more rear grip (running a 265/35/18) and find a good solution to upgrade the rearend - diff/axles
