A couple of people have asked me how the car is going so I took a few shots after a quick clean today. I was seriously thinking of selling it recently but I've decided to keep it and fix the issues which have been bugging me. Done: BBS RZ412 refurbished. Rear damage fixed and painted. Added Bluetooth to factory stereo. Sanded, filled and painted the bumper trim. Replaced all door handle rubbers. To Do: Replace faulty LKM. Passenger seat thigh support and headrest not working. Drivers seat headrest not working. Drivers outer door trim not sitting correctly. Door cards need reparing as the sun has melted the passenger one. Aircon not working. New bonnet and bootlid badges. Add 535is badge to rear. Paint wing mirrors and take care of stone chips. Tints. Need something to handle the Kapiti Coast sun. Drop the front if possible. Currently on Bilsteins and Eibach springs but the front is 10-20mm more than I would like. Rear screen heater not working. Leather recondition. Rear passenger door handle sticks open. Driver rear door doesn't lock with central locking. Tint rear indicators red. Rest of car could really do with a paint correction etc, but I need someone on the Kapiti Coast to help sort that out. Various trim clips need fixing/replacing. It's a much bigger list when I write it out like that, perhaps an e39 530 msport is a better bet after all. Still, not bad for having just clocked up 300k kms.

Instead of respraying boot (Has clear coat fading and no spoiler) I purchased a 'new' one to pop on with all bits and bobs ready to go! That goes on hopefully tomorrow and the angel eyes arrived today so will do that tomorrow also! Yay. She's going to look like a beaut.

I`ve been looking at these as well and let`s face it, petrol is getting cheaper. However most of the e39 540`s on Trademe have been on there for months. I`ll bet you could burgle a good one for a lot less than the Ashburton car, that`s just the way the market views them unfortunately.At those prices I`m worried I`ll have a few too many one night and hit the `Buy now` button, then wake up the next morning realising that i`ve got one E39 too many....

Bold choice, I'll give you that but I think it could work well. It's been about 20mins so you must have them mounted up by now yea?

Woah... Amazon have just processed a full refund for the suspension... and another set, that I was not charged for, is on a DHL plane to NZ. This could end up being the least expensive kit I've ever "purchased". I won't get my hopes up yet though.

FYI: "Aeroparks" in a BRILLIANT place. You car is NOT taken offsite - they drive it to reception for you to collect, but that's it. Thaey'd probably not do that if you requested actually. They only collect you in a shuttlebus. I wouldn't use anyone else at AKL, regardless of the car I was in.

Saw a silver e46 wagon on Black BBS CH wheels (if i remember right) with HELLBM number plate in Silverdale on Saturday. Looked nice.

Lux flakes verse Steering wheel. The M stitching looking a lot better now as does the leather.

Lol at excuses. f**ked if I'd want my old driving heroics all over youtube but...

Photoshop and ma mad skillz.

Just my opinion but i think 8k is way too high. More like 5k and its a good price. Dont have to agree just sayin..
