On the touring, evened up the rear height so now sits level and the rears fit without rubbage. Just waiting for a new battery now to take it for a test ride.

Saw my first F10 M5 yesterday at Riccarton Mall. Not overally sold on the way the front half looks

A quick google answers that - http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2013/06/17/the-ultimate-playstation-4-guide-paid-ps-online-hardware-games-news-and-more/

Finally registered and warranted the coupe today. Now time to sell......

My Dad has a Harrier and I hate it with passion. I guess I'm not looking for an SUV as such, but they are becoming affordable to buy. I'm just wary that previous owners may have thought the same but can't afford to maintain them.

Numbers on the odo doesn't bother me. The X5 is a bit of an unknown for me so would obviously like something thats been kept for and what to keep an eye on. I'm certainly in no rush. Now don't get too carried away. I'm looking for something as a weekend warrior and occansional daliy as the girlfriend hates the touring now that its on coilovers. I don't blame her with the state of the streets around home.

Are you trying scare me off them haha.

So basically an e39 thats bigger and heavier and the expected wear and tear that the extra weight brings.

Thought I might go have a look at this over the weekend. What should I be on the look for with 220k? I've heard they like to chew through brake discs, bearings, bushes. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=642702923

Looks very flash, I like. Can I suggest that the 'last post date/time' be more promient to stop old threads being bumped up?

f**k you Atta. You know how much I hate you for doing this. I thought we talked you out of it yesterday?

Looks like toe issues to me. Have you had it aligned to confirm what the current settings are?

I know what I'm test driving this weekend

Don't do that. The amount of times I have bought something else only for the right car to turn up a couple of weeks later is crazy.

What about a passat? Those are getting very cheap now days and as long as the cambelt has been recently shouldnt be too bad

Fixed up my camber plates and test fitted my new rims

Does anyone in Christchurch have a guard roller I could borrow at some point? Will pay beers or cash. Failing that, if I brought one, would there be any interest in using it? $25 for the weekend

bump

Im still well behind. Na the adjuster is still there. BC actually supply a thin rubber ring to replace the adjuster for extra low. Agreed. I picked up a treatme deal for Tyreplus in town so will see how they go. My brothers work use them so cant be that bad.

How hard is it to remove? A guard is bent and Im thinking it might be easier to replace it Ive got some BC Golds which have been lying in my room for the last year. Currently at the lowest point at the rear and half down at the front.

Not sure about well built yet haha. Need to get my hands on some trim and man-up to drill some holes for the sideskirts.

Excuse the sh*t photos, the lens needs a clean. Put the coilovers in last weekend and it turned into a bit of a nightmare. 5 of the 6 strut nuts had been stripped so that was fun. Ended up with my brother pulling the struts from below and using the rattle gun to effectively yanking them off. No photos of the installation sorry. Managed to pick up some M3 mirrors in the same color so put those on. Also test fitted the ACS rep for a laugh. Haven't got a wheel alignment done as I might go lower in the front but if the rears are anything to go by, a small roll and 215/40 tyres might work. Yes the guard is resting on the tyre

Only if you were closer! GLWS, seems like a bargain to me.

Nice work so far. Did you make those mounts yourself? Welcome to Bimmersport

Still deciding on the height and if I want to go lower with Christchurch roads the way they are right now. Pics will come.
