Hi all, Bit of a shameless self promo here-I’m responsible for the “Buying a neglected M5” videos on the tube recently. I’ve just uploaded episode two where I get stuck into the rod bearing job, check it out here. https://youtu.be/GgoFUOo4YH4?si=5fJqrjDjsYPfMa_V I’m not a mechanic, I’ve just always fixed my own crappy cars over the years and when values for Japanese cars went a bit crazy I dipped my toes into the BMW world and now here we are. Started with a great e28 535i (malachite metallic) then an e34 535 5 speed followed by a fairly broken e39 540i 6 speed with AC kit. Anyway, I always wanted an e60 and couldn’t resist the challenge of reviving this one. Open to any comments, questions or criticisms! Cheers Jordan

Hi everyone I have recently upgraded to a new car so the time has come to sell my E36. I have absolutely adored this car for my five years of ownership and will be sad to see it go. See details below. This E36 has been loved, as evidenced by the extensive service history that comes with the car. The last four owners have been involved with the BMW Car Club of NZ. It has also featured in the BMW Car Club of NZ magazine. This E36 was imported to NZ in 2004 by Shelly BMW as part of its "BMW Approved Used Import" programme. I have all the documentation for this, including the original BMW 100-point checklist and "Certificate of Authenticity". It has genuine BMW M-Contour wheels from an E36 M3. It comes with all original keys (with working remote locking) and rear parking sensors. In my ownership, the major items I have attended to are: All four tyres replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport 5, with plenty of tread remaining. New windscreen, windscreen rubbers and windscreen cowl. New brakes (rotors, pads and rebuilt calipers). New radiator. New battery. Regularly refreshed fluids and filters. The oil has been changed at least every 12 months. New spark plugs. Retrofitted Bluetooth to the original BMW head unit. There is plenty of other service history, which is fully documented and will come with the car. The car lives in a garage and is only run on BP 98. The car passed its latest warrant of fitness in April with a clean sheet. The personalised plate comes with the car. My email is [email protected] and mobile is 0273445557. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to arrange a viewing. Price is $12,000.

it's a diesel thing dude. I washed my X3 in early feb; got to it again a couple of weeks ago. Not usually my MO - just life got in the way. It cleaned up beautifully, I'm sure yours will do the same. (You think the Hippo might be dirtying it up?)

Why is there a fireplace poker where the shifter should be?🤣
