    BMW Hamilton has my exact order spec on their demonstrator so I took a quick roadtrip there this morning. Seeing it in my spec in the flesh has got the excitement going just a bit hahaha.

    Took my car for an alignment at a place in Hamilton yesterday because it's wandering all over the place at higher speed and is super quick to turn in, so I suspect the front is toed out a bit much. It has been happening since I got my new rear tyres and an alignment (for which I wasn't provided the spec sheet for). The owner came out and had one look at my car and said the problem is my brand new Atturo tyres and that whoever put these on should be shot. Without saying much more -or asking me- he went inside and got on the phone for 5 minutes to price up some replacement Pirellis for $3000(not a great deal but not too bad either I guess). He then proceeded to lecture me like am some sort of ignorant pleb about how there's a manufacturers spec tyre for these cars that they spend millions of dollars in R&D on and that he would never dream of putting anything other than Pirelli Corsa's on his McLaren. We "agreed" that it would be wasting my money to get the car aligned and that I would think about replacing my tyres for the ones that are meant for my car and they would throw in an alignment for free. f**king wanker. I'm not saying it's not the cheap tyres causing the issue, but the car needs to be aligned first to check that the basics are correct before replacing parts willy nilly. Called up another place and had a chat and they said bring it in Tuesday and they will check out what's going on and provide some advice from there.

    It means they will stop bullets. That's 120k worth of cars on a good day. $210k is dreaming.

    Did BMW design the X7 purely for middle aged Chinese ladies to block the right lane?

    I have some for the X5, supplied by previous owner. Will try the q tips, as I haven’t used it. Hardly any chips though either.

    This M6 was coated in rust in the early 00’s and was picked up at Turners for around $16k. Had some work on it since. Was for sale from time to time for around $50k since the mid 2000’s and was always deemed to be too expensive.

    So today was the day. My iX build order is in and confirmed as BMW New Zealand order number 32! Currently looking at a May/June delivery. Pretty excited, not going to lie! My order specs are below: * Xdrive 40 MSport * Mineral White Metallic (A96) * 22" Aerodynamic wheels 1020 Bicolour 3D (1LD) * Amido Black Leather Interior (SCHA) * ENHANCEMENT PACKAGE - Sky Lounge Panorama Roof (407) - Soft Close Doors (323) - Laser Lights (5AZ) * Active Ventilated Seats (453) I had the option to forward purchase a dealer demonstrator but that car has the crystal interior appliques which I really don't like and lacks ventilated seats. I figured I'd be better served just ordering the spec I want. A few pics from the configurator are attached.

    So this car has been in an accident which then resulted in a fire. Engine is done. Carbon fibre roof is wrecked etc. rear of body is in okay condition. Is there any point in trying to sell for parts? Any advice? Insurance won’t cover the accident. It’s a 2020 M4 manual.
