Most customers with f15s were getting 70-100km of driving but it all depends on how you drive. Same with tyres, some getting 60+ others getting 20km If you check the servicing menu in the idrive will give you an approximate distance left on the brakes

F15s are basically a facelifted facelift e70. Share a lot of common components are more refined

No, just buy one already

Also shipping routes will have changed. Talking to the guys at my old work, anything coming into the country for them is now going via Sydney before coming to auckland

Stuff out of the UK is slow. Mother in law sent parcel for my partners birthday and took almost a month to arrive. My guess it is because the UK post system is over run as all online shopping is still open during lockdown over there and so everyone is still spending up large

Yep sold to Australia

No it's still kicking. I left at the start of the year to pursue something else, unfortunately that hasn't worked out due to the current situation so currently jobless. Thankfully the Mrs is still bringing home a fulltime wage but won't be for too much longer as she goes on maternity leave at the end of June

Thanks mate, once I find a new job then it'll be all go!

Over two years since I last updated this, wow... Yellowspeed coilovers have been fitted, I did buy some brand new genuine lower sill covers. Just need to get them painted and fitted. I've started a manual conversion on it just need to put the gearbox back in and bolt the driveshaft up. Fixed rocker cover gasket leak and painted the cover while it was off. And during lockdown, had enough time to get these all finished! Happy how these came out, just need some tyre valves and we are are away. Final specs are 16x9 et0 and 16x9.5 et6. Bit more aggressive than i intended but should still look alright

That price though! Can get a decent set of RS wheels for that

Few centre caps on eBay for well over $1000nzd. Better off finding some alpina wheels, stealing the caps then reselling the wheels without them

E70 is the chassis code e.g. vehicle shape from 2006 to 2013 xDrive is the name that BMW gave to their 4wd drive system 3.0d etc is the engine type. 30d 3 litre turbo diesel, 40d twin turbo diesel, 50d tri-turbo diesel. Best thing to look for is some decent service history, it'll save you money in the long run knowing it has been looked after properly

Can't recall if this will have adblue or not, which is a sh*t system when it faults and goes wrong

Phoenix yellow..as long as it's not sun faded

The wheels are worth the purchase alone!

How come you have to bend the clutch line? Definitely easier with a 2nd person helping fit the gearbox and exhaust. Taking stuff off is easy enough

Mate of mine did a bunch of these a while back for some laughs

I have some for sale but I think you were the guy texting me about mine as they are on trademe

Wouldn't have lasted 5mins in Christchurch. Mine was stolen from a busy central city street during the day while I was at work

I saw this pop up on Facebook and lol'd. Was expecting it to have very low mileage for that price but doesn't even have that in it's favour. I do miss mine though, dam theives!

The e60s are starting to feel old now and only going to get older. I also think you might struggle to find a really nice one as a lot of them have been run into the ground. Definitely look at f10s much more refined and comfortable. Even spring for a f30, not quite as comfortable as a f10 but a brilliant all round car

It's part and parcel of owning a car, its no different to your car failing on 4 shock absorbers cause they are leaking. It's gunna cost a stack to fix so I don't buy that as an excuse

The 4 cylinder 118i/116 are all good and go better than you'd expect. They tend to leak coolant from the connector plate at the rear of the head and expansion tank, both cheap fixes, but otherwise good wee cars

Lots of old McDonald had a farm, 5 little ducks etc can't have the tv on with the 2 year old awake cause only his stuff is allowed to be on When he's asleep, Marcella was good on Netflix expect the final 2 episodes. Sunderland till I die, FIFAtv on youtube has been putting up classic world cup games. Craving football massively especially since our season was supposed to start last weekend and was finally fit for a change, now that's gone out the window.
