  1. Still think it's taking the piss to call a car built in Jan 08 a 2010 car. Would it be worth as much as a 2010 car built in 2010? I don't think so.

    It's built to 2008 specs, missing any production changes that would have come with a 2010.

    Oh well, now I know it's something to watch out for when car shopping.

    only car nerds go off the build date and know how to find the build date


  2. So i installed a secondary fuel pump into the e46. This is a fuel starvation kit which replaces the passenger side fuel sender. I had just on 3/4 of a tank when i installed it and they say the gauge can be inaccurate, when the new pump and sender went in the gauge was pretty spot on....jump to the end and long story short, when i disconnect the new pump and the old and turn my ignition on the gauge goes back up to 3/4...anyone have any idea why that would be???


  3. Both really nice looking cars, not sure if diesel would be ideal for mainly short runabout trips most of the time?, plus the extra hassle of RUC, we live in rural town so its basically 5 mins down the road, then back again. Probably wont buy another black car, just hard to keep looking clean, and its always me who ends up having to wash the vehicles!

    Who doesnt like to wash their cars?!... my e61 is more deep blue in the right light.,and black in other light

  4. Just purchased a Jap import 2005 E61 530i and am very happy with it. Previous cars, Mercedes E350 wagon Sports Edition (basically a silver hearse) and prior to that a very satisfying period with a Mercedes C32 AMG. While in theory the E350 and the 530i are direct competitors, to my mind there's no comparison. The 530i as a total driving experience is just vastly superior. I'll probably look to do the Nav/Bluetooth conversion soon and perhaps an exhaust mod to extract more of that beautiful exhaust note at some point in the future.

    Nice, we have one too, had it for maybe a couple of years now i think or close to it....only had one problem since owning it and it was the rear boot lid pump started to fail which was a bit crap but thats life


  5. its all a little bit beyond me, biggest problem is the old sony laptop im using for it doesn't have enough space on the hard drive, it needs 32gb to install. I have some other software that i use on the e46 and have used on the e53 which was piss easy to use but ncs is out of this humble guys reach
