If you don't like washing / waxing your car and want easy maintenance it is good. If you are paying for a detailer to do it, you are really paying for the prep, which is legitimately hours of work to do 100%. It is especially good on wheels, I would definitely recommend that. But personally I like wax/sealant better. And it performs as well during it's life time. There are dozens of options, DM me if you like.

I'd buy one, and it would probably sell internationally if it was done well

Thanks again. Didn't get pinged for import duty or GST. I've noticed some places seem to fly under the radar. ECS Tuning is not one of them, been charged every time.

This is the set up I think I am going to go with. Koni + OEM springs. $760+$140 USD shipping form ECS tuning. It's annoying FCP Euro don't stock them as I have never been pinged on import with them. I've emailed George Stocks twice with no reply - if anyone knows a better place to source, please let me know. Cheers

I kind of get that in a way. That plate riveted in does give me a bad buzz - it looks tacky / irreversible. But I agree he'd be better off just selling it stock and selling the KWs separately - he'd get more that way too.

Good tip - I'll check them out thanks! I'm not too worried about longevity - what is it, like 5 years until they would need to be done again? (It's probably been 17 to this point!)

What up! Looking at a refresh of my suspension / dampers as I am assuming they are toast after 180km, (hard to know how bad they really are right?) I've read a lot of international forum suspension posts, but interested in the 'local road' feedback and what everyone is running? I'm trying to keep it affordable, simple and comfortable for a daily. Options that seem to be be most popular I am considering: Sachs OEM replacements (comfortable, but am I missing the opportunity to 'upgrade') Sachs with Eibach or Dinan springs (lowered car compromises?) Bilstein B12 kit AKA B6 dampers with Eibachs - apparently the B6 alone will raise the ride height - I don't want that. Koni (with maybe with Eibachs or Dinan Springs) - getting dearer Keen to hear anyones NZ experience / opinion. Cheers

^ Well it is reminiscent of a Maserati

Family member got scammed by this. No better than a quality wax / sealant IMO. Ceramic coasting work and last much better. You can DIY, it's not difficult.

PS4s placebo ride a bit smoother than PSS?

Thanks! Looking forward to mounting them. - CM Wheels

Incoming - freshly ceramic coated...

Does Mobil 98 have ethanol? (I heard it was the same blend as Gull?) I've been running Gull and Mobil for 70,000km with no issue.

Save up / wait for 330d - you'll get a big percentage of the difference back at resale

Just daily it - YOLO

Why ? Comparative tunability? I reckon a DCT n55 is one of the best values out there. cool car!

Don't hate cause e36's are in the gutter. ? We're going to the moon baby!

Looks good in silver. I'd start by getting rid of the jap plate box at the front and holder at the rear. You can also get BMW centre caps off ebay for peanuts.

CMP kit?

Have a look on Bimmercode - I have that and coded f25 boot close etc with n issues.

Great post, thank you. I know what you mean about speed camera's and 'dedicated enforcement' etc. Yeah, I have heard that too. I find that it is disappointing here for traffic congestion obviously due to the same reasons.

Just wondering if anyone is using them? I haven't used on in more than a decade, (and touch wood have not ever had a ticket). I don't speed generally, but the I could see how you could get caught out if you were say overtaking in a transitional area for example. Last one i used was a V1 - now I see there are GPS once which would cut out false alerts / alerts when at low speed etc. Interested in your chat...

Looks better on those wheels. (ebay had cheap centres if you need them). How do you like the AFE intake? I have the same one.

Everyone hates RFT because they have such sh*t ride. I was told that technically to get a WOF you must have a spare if you don't have RFT? (Some cars came from the factory with no spare and no RFT though?) Regardless, unless it's your fairer other doing long distances, most would recommend going for normal tyres and getting an inflator kit. (The OEM BMW one is like $150). If you can spring the cash, go for PSS or PS4s. If you're keeping it tight, I was happy with RE003 - or the Eagles everyone is saying above. If you drive it hard though, you won't regret the Michelins. Best 'mod' for the money. Post pics of the car! Rare model !
