Should fit other Euros like VW/Audi/Merc etc although not sure how the offset would go but plenty of those around

Try this guy https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/engines/listing-2414175914.htm?rsqid=fcb901c5f37d4ed3b8bae31c489b4f98-001

Got these on my e30, haven't driving it in about a year but well impressed, great grip

I think you might struggle to find someone to do that for you. It would be better to have the workshop diagnose it correctly and then you carry out the repair if you interested in saving money. In my experience, jobs where customers to self diagnose never goes well

Sold pending collection/payment

Looks like your decisions been made haha

$200 pick up Christchurch

Local law makes a difference. Australia government is handling the airbag recall differently to NZ. You see this all the time with the way BMW North America handles things due to their suing culture

Does it make me an old man cause I want to buy it for myself?

There's two stages to the NZ recall. The alpha airbags which are the dangerous ones which I can only assume Aussie have more of those fitted?? In NZ, alpha airbags are fitted in e46 up to 2000ish. Anything else is voluntary.

If they are by different manufactures so yes they are different hence why all cars are not affected. Japan had/has some strange rules where if you are selling a car in Japan it must have a certain number of Japanese made products in them. Hence jatco gearboxs etc. Not sure where Aussie fits into this but the directive comes from BMW AG which cars are affected

Thats a good idea Dave, also cleaning products

If someone parts them, I'm interested in the ACS wheels

If they are 8.5 offset is likely to be either 13 or 15. I'll find the like and message it to you

There was/is a guy on Facebook selling a set of style 24s, 17x8.5 with good rubber for around $800

Thats cheap! They will fit but will need some narrower tyres (maybe guard roll depending how skinny you go), and some hubcentric rings

There's a meet on the 24th November and cruise to akaroa. Look up BMW Enthusiasts NZ on Facebook. They try to have a meet every couple months

E61 have energy diagnosis available via ISTA. Making sure the battery is correct for the car and registered is the first step and then seeing where the voltage drain from

There was one about 10 years ago maybe? Probably still have it somewhere

Can vouch for how mint this car is. Will not be disappointed

Why not? They have the same engine as an m5

There is one here in Christchurch

Spotted this hot boi on the way to work. Horrendous photo but was running late

You can have one of mine for $200, I was going to do both cars but can't be arsed with the e30. Much easier on the E36
