3 year anniversary with the F31 and after humming and hah-ing a sideways move to something smaller and zippier like a GTI, have decided its too damn handsome and practical to replace without dropping $$$ and its better the devil you know, so will keep it another few years and treated it to a proper service to set it up for a little while: Oil / Air filter / fuel filter / cabin filter New Valve cover (only electric ones don't have a leak here haha) and breather hoses. Oxygen sensor

We get great shipping quotes (due to our many projects) so if anyone needs shipping we have awesome rates. I'm sending a set of wheels i bought from wellington to chch today and it was like $67.00. If your christchurch based i'll help out forum members.

Disassembled the front seats in the E30 as there were a few niggles, sorted all excluding the stuffed backrest shocks, which will be replaced one day. The drivers side backrest bolster had broken and missing plastic piping and a split wide open seam for a few inches. I sewed a new run of piping using the original nylon core around some spotlight vinyl, then sewed that into the two parts of leather using the existing holes so as to not make a ‘tear here’ line(leather needles have a blade which cuts as opposed to separates the fibres). Happy with result.

I’m extremely saddened to say a dear friend of mine and great contributor to bimmersport suddenly passed last week. To me he was Sanjay but you will know him as ssbmw. He had a wealth of knowledge on bmw stats in nz. He would eat, drink and sleep the brand and love to talk with anyone who shared the passion. Bimmersport was a great outlet for him to share his knowledge for which he was regular contributor. A huge loss to all.
