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.

Could try anything electronic in Nelson. They are pretty handy

Swapped over drivers door on the e36 after a wee bump I had a couple of years ago. Now fits nicely instead of being bent, also nice to have a working window as the replacement door has a working window regulator

Scan it, see if any of them throw fault codes

Fair enough mate, hate it when life gets in the way of hobbies haha

@Mad_Max how's this all going?

Surely it's time to move this to the projects section now ?

Bump...any interest? If they don't sell then I'll run them anyway

Not necessarily, always good practice to check if any recalls are outstanding on a car when you first buy it

If either of those two things occur then no autosure won't cover but the dealer will. Autosure are great, and yes they cover timing chains

Bunnings etc are only open to trade customers so they can carry out essential repairs. One would assume there is a process to go through if your car does break down and you are an essential worker but I doubt that they would disclose that publicly

So technically they could pay you up to two weeks leave if you have It owing https://www.employment.govt.nz/leave-and-holidays/annual-holidays/taking-annual-holidays/

I was going to suggest possible software update. Most faults in modern cars are solved by software
