There is one being wrecked down south in Invercargill so even more rare now
-
Sold them outside on Facebook so letting the auction run instead of paying more trademe fees Updated: In fact, got a nice courtesy email from trademe withdrawing the auction for me with no fees but did get a lengthy telling off

Km to mph is an option within the idrive settings so no coding required. Not sure why cruise control shows mph

Cheaper for the dealer, they pay the excess for the customer and the issue gets fixed -

Anything is cheap with its on special so lets compare apples with apples; Bmw coolant $25 per 1.5litres, Nulon at $20 per 1.5litres. Certainly not 400% more expensive is it?

Unless you are paying $5 a litre for your coolant. Bmw stuff is like $25 for 1.5litres and then 50/50 mix it with water No it's not, still have to mix it 50/50 with water

AA inspections don't remove any of the engine covers or undergrad so I doubt they check fault codes -
That how car dealers work, they buy cheap cars and sell them for more. Doesn't matter if it is dime a dozen Toyota or a special edition M3 they are in it to make money and that is how they do it. I'm sure that when they do sell it on then the person buying it is still going to enjoy it, whether they are in NZ or not. The difference is you'd want the M3, and not the Toyota

Exactly, given half a chance I'm sure anyone would jump at the chance to make a dollar or 2

Dealers have them in stock usually

Originally built by Jason and then after the accident swapped into the saloon by my mates younger brother. Insane car
-
Part of the reason is safety. Don't want to be changing a tyre on the side of the autobahn at night. M cars don't come on runflats and they are proper sports cars

If we had insurance then car would be fixed and he would probably have a Baycorp notice. That's ok, his house is on my way home so I don't mind stopping off every other day to see how things are going
-
Yep that is what we are going to do. Even offered to pay half of the excess to avoid any hassle but not interested in that either
-
Can't stress this enough as dealing with something similar. Recently purchased a new car for the Mrs and hadn't sorted any type of insurance in the week after buying the car, she was hit by a young dude with 3rd party. Great, his insurance will cover ours, well not unless he pays his excess which he is refusing to do so do to 'lack of money which I doubt...

Who can code the Auto Stop/Start to be off by default?
Gaz replied to Last Manual Standing's topic in Electrical system
Yep stopped that after the whole VW thing. If you have had it coded out, and if the vehicle gets a software update, the stop/start function will be reinstated -
Anyone wrecking an F10? Need some drivers door seal parts

One question asked a couple hours ago doesn't make him rude, probably trying to find the info to answer the question

They are 40-50 brand new but will have to get it painted to match

BMW M approved Castrol Edge tws 10w 60 vs ...
Gaz replied to BreakMyWindow's topic in General Discussion
TWS is still available but only in 5litre packs, they've stopped doing the 1litre -
Id say it's about 2k over priced to be honest as there's nothing really desirable about it apart from perhaps the service history
-
Have you owned it since new? The gearbox and engine adaptions may have been reset with the update so might be a case of drive it and see
