Hey team, just recently bought this 1987 320i which has been swapped with a m52b28, awesome car to drive. Look forward to chatting with you all, and learning new things from here. Also is this a factory colour, or is it custom? To me it looks like the royal blue metallic.

It wasn't actually a check engine light - it's the "check" light, for the warnings on the ceiling console. It flashes until you press the brake, or stays on if there is a bulb warning, coolant warning etc. OBD scanners don't work on them either - the later ones have the pacman connector that does a few more things, but most of the useful stuff it can do, can be done with a short piece of wire, or a paperclip 🤣

That's a very good looking car, welcome!

Another special Kiwi E34 has gone to this guy in the states. Cool video.

So I've got a new car, and surprisingly it's not a 130i, or even a BMW 😅 It's a Volvo. Yes, not what you'd expect but I have some history with this car. It was my Dads, and it's extremely well maintained and in amazing condition. Completely stock, super dark tints and all. Bit of a luxury sleeper, this is one of ten NZ New sold. About 15 total in the country. S60 R-Design T6, Polestar Enhanced. S60: Sedan, 3 series sized R-Design is a bit like an M-Sport, exterior and interior trim package with upgraded brakes and springs/shocks etc. T6, Straight six turbocharged and AWD. Top of the tree model. They did make an S60 Polestar Halo model, kind of like an M3. Polestar Enhanced, is a factory tune to 330hp and 480NM(355lb/ft). Probably most equivalent to a 335i but more luxury, has the most comfortable seats you'll ever sit in. This thing is rapid, torque galore and grippy with the AWD that can split power up to 50:50 depending on traction/right foot buried. The exhaust sound is expecially meaty, with a bit of turbo noise at higher rpms. Somewhat different to what my 130i was, which is immediately confident in corners etc whereas the Volvo requires more to be confident with the grip. Volvo is faster, that same torquey-ness style of power delivery, but more, everywhere. And it's really nice place to be in. So far have absolutely nothing to do to it, I had it detailed and ceramic coated so nice and shiny + protected. She's pretty thirsty when you're getting down the road but I knew that going in. I don't do a whole lot of kms these days so it's great for me. Car has done less than 100k kms, mint condition and I got made an offer I couldn't refuse so now I'm an old man Volvo driver. Photos below after/before ceramic coat and detail. Now blindingly white. I will get some interior pics, it's very Scandinavian. Lots of leather.

Jeebus.
