was told to clean the garage up the other week since its filling up with wheels and work related crap since becoming self employed. But got side tracked part way through and made a thing. Also was a dyno day yesterday so thought I'd run the m3 up. Showed up a few turbo japs also here's the wheel collect thus far- that arnt on cars

I think I already told everyone 10 years ago. I also told Stocks, but they didn't seem to care. I assume that the company you dealt with has the initials DT? Perhaps someone could complain to Koni and get the NZ prices more in line with the rest of the world? BTW, Koni adjustables still as good as new after 140,000kms.

looks like the ones above my shed! I'm using a computer power supply, both high beams work, always meant to get around to hooking up the low beams as well but not as yet.

They probably will send you an invoice.

Got the booster setup all bolted in over the weekend, just two small hard lines left to bend in the brake system. Also dipped my kit (skirts are off being repaired) considering going for a two tone look (bottom half black) until i can actually get vehicle painted in my prefered colour.

Thought is seen them somewhere. I just used some trannys I had lying around from some old downlights and ran each side in series to dull them down a bit and hooked up to an extension lead because I'm too lazy to do my job properly haha!

^ nice bro, real nice.

Review a bit suspect . Rates the 105v high in many areas. Got a rear set in the garage on a spare set of rims. Very easy to spin up . The m3 will do this if you down shift to 2nd and change up to 3rd which caught me by surprise. Haven't had this with any other tyres let alone PSS.

At worst its just a head gasket or at worst both. Get a leak down test done which will help determine if you've done any damage in the first instance. I hate to say it but low k m62tu motors are getting hard to come by so a repair might be the better option if it is indeed toasted. Also replace all radiator hoses with new OEM, and maybe get the expansion tank, digital thermostat and water pump inspected while youre at it. Good news is that the 540i operates at around 110c in normal operation and is a pressurised system (this is why the hoses blow, theyre not like other systems and dont take kindly to repairs that cant handle the higher pressures.) red is 124c. If you were only there for a quick second or two you might be ok. As long as you pulled over and killed the ignition. have been there twice myself with my old 540

i think hes trying to show the widebody kit on an E36. its quite similar to an E30 M3 square fender look

They fit well... And are completely different wheels. Erm?

Wide body and flares then...?

Its weird what i remember. Cant remember how to do math, but can remember a random E39 that was sold years ago

Conor (batmanswilly) and I spent less than $200 between us at zebra today and walked away with; # full e46 black leather interior including door cards and electric seats - mint condition. # e46 electric fan # e46 'purple tag' steering rack. # e36 aftermarket front gas struts (ultimo brand) in brand new condition. We got totally smashed by the weather but it was well worth it for the awesome deal we got.

Please Ron don't kill another thread.

E39 M5 > E55 / E60 M5 I think the E39 is a no brainer E60 M5 doesn't strike me as a good investment. Nor the E55, while I like them, their a bit iffy inside and do suffer from some of MB quality issues of the period. The E39 offers a proper manual gearbox and has a V8 engine sound that soothes the ear, rather than that headache inducing racket the M5 V10 makes. I suspect the E39 M5 will hold value, if not increase from this point on in, high teens is as low as I've seen them go on average, but most are well into the 20s.

Yeah nah.

reminds me of an experience where my friend borrowed his uncles e60 m5 to show a client around town and left $40 on the dashboard so his uncle could fill up petrol. the txt msg from his uncle said something like "either leave me $140 or nothing at all.. $40 is absolutely meaningless". hahaha

MTOY is back on the 18's now for a bit. While they have tread left, the tyres are a bit old and they don't handle as well as the INVOs on my CSL wheels, but that's an easy fix with replacements! Pretty keen to try a set of NT-05's given how I use this car (and how few km's I got out of the INVO's I might as well!). Always keen on suggestions? Current tyres and sizes below Front 245/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport (factory sizing 225/45/18) Rear 265/35/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 (factory sizing 255/40/18). IMG_6752-HDR by Christian Taylor, on Flickr I could even step the rears up a little in width to 275's and maybe 40 profile to get the same 'chunky' look as on the fronts. I'm a big fan of more tyre where possible, and the fronts look spot on imo. I should have the room in the rear arches for this, even under load and want to avoid spacers if at all possible. Replacement fender grille and badge also turned up - in it goes Fronts by Christian Taylor, on Flickr
