It's been a hot minute since my last proper post here. A fair few cars have joined the fleet since then, I will write a post about them at some point as I'm sure some of you would find it interesting. But anyway, I thought I'd share how my Adidas shoe finally broke down, so I had to find a suitable replacement. Not sure how reliable it will be getting me from A to B, and the cost of maintenance will be more than the Adidas shoe, but hopefully it's worth it as it's a pretty special machine... Wasn't sure about the BBS RC wheels, admittedly they have grown on me quite a lot since getting the car. Plus it's a bonus that the rears are 285 in width - a feature that seems necessary when you've got lots of power, not much weight, and no driver assists. I have managed to find a set of factory wheels (which I am a big fan of). Will probably put them on once they are suited up with a fresh set of Pilot Sport 5s. General feedback from friends and family is that the interior is "bold". I personally love it. Nothing is more boring than a black exterior with a black interior on a car like this. It comes with an impressive history folder - every receipt, WOF, insurance document, even a note from a guy asking to buy the car in 2021. Surprising to me was the level of looks the car gets, especially from car people. I owned it a whopping 10 minutes before getting my first complement.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/4954050652 Top tier colour combo, looks like a very honest example. Would love to spend 8hrs in the garage with a buffer! Edit: optioned with the 9" rears and the 2+2 seating option. Very cool!

theses something fishy with the numbers of people on board too, alot of private people," samoans" appear to have been onboard for some reason, not that we will ever know as it will all be covered up and the inquiry will be whitewashed. Its looking like another Rena now with turtles dieing and oil slicks so is going to get very expensive and be ongoing it would appear. But what really rips my nightie is all they can keep saying , its not that bad because no one died, so we paid 69m for a boat that was valued at 16m apparently, spent 40m to make it navy compatible, replacement cost is probably now 150m 150m would have paid for how many cancer treatments, operations etc, yes its going to costs lives FFS.

I don’t believe it will last long. Great colour/ interior. The majority of 3.6 E34’s in nz are imported. Story I heard was that only 3 3.6’s were delivered new, and about 7 3.8 5- speeds. The first 2 generations of M5’s were sold in such small numbers in NZ.

Close enough?

Why delete the reverse light? Strange... In it's favour it's an interesting colour but that's about all.

High performance... hair dresser? 🤣

No no.. that’s what the performance versions get.. its reverse lamp delete - option S925

these two tell you everything you need to know about the PO.

Painting the reverse lamps is a... decision.

Good thing he saved the vape pods!
