Gaz

Car is like 5months old and under 500km and bmw insurance used to replace the vehicle pretty quickly if it was under a year old from memory. I'd imagine the wait on parts is probably significant so also the cost of the driver having a loan car would stack up quickly. Insurance companies also get monitored on how long claims are open for which also impacts their decisions

Elite wheels for the rim repair

@BMTHUG your old one?

Looks hot mate, even if it is mtech1 🤣

Regulator is Skoda talk for thermostat. Best to replace them together as they always leak all the time.

1952 Ferrari 212, only 5000miles on it

Yes control units do go faulty. Replace all 6 glow plugs and the control unit

Ice Cube always had some good taste https://youtu.be/vvvQwYXPV-s?si=EKAjFhI2i4QwMpcD

Hope you brought it

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/J68T4thEqubQscAM/?mibextid=kL3p88 Don't know if it's any good but maybe useful to someone

Getrag 420g from an e36 m3 evo, currently still fitted up to my 328 wagon so any prospective buyers can do any checks they'd like. Gearbox only. $3750

You're thinking of brake pad wear sensors

Don't know if you've seen this but might have something on it that's still good https://www.facebook.com/share/dvmGqt7wek9cWGJE/?mibextid=kL3p88 You could also try Ernie at Hinds Classics near Ashburton but shipping maybe cost prohibitive

Bmw dealer, about $35 odd

Not a wagon but this just popped up on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/xLFtbdhe5jiRgni7/?mibextid=kL3p88

I wouldn't stress about that. Nzta actually want vehicle fails, eg if a car comes in and needs wipers for a wof, even if you replace them on the spot, you should enter a fail/recheck instead of a straight pass

Ideally for a sedan and in silver Will also mtech2 one if the price is right

Try this fella, he's only just listed it https://www.facebook.com/share/ogPF6sBGxS2e9b3Q/?mibextid=kL3p88

I was quoted $1000 to bring a gearbox in from the West Coast of the US to Christchurch by these fellas, https://gtlogistics.co.nz/ who came recommend by someone else who I'll probably use once I'm ready. You'll also have to factor in customs, duty, gst etc.

Main issue they have is oil consumption

There has been a couple of 420g's lately on trademe and facebook recently. The one on trademe hasn't been relisted in over a month, the facebook one appears to be still available I'll more than likely have mine for sale late this year. S54's are plentiful in the USA for around $3500 - $4000usd for one with about 100k miles on it, they were half that pre covid and I regret one bringing a couple in then.

Weight alone doesn't equate to nimbleness. Watch Chris Harris' review on the m2 and he believes its a very nimble car despite the numbers on paper.
