    Solve my mystery?

    Vanos seals have been done. It runs 100% mint apart from this Runs fine when started. Drive to end of drive, clutch in = fine. Drive a little bit, and if you clutch in and coast, revs will drop to idle and die. While in gear and driving its fine. Some times it 'struggles' at 100rpm and survives. If if survives the first struggle its fine from there. (It feels like its either slightly too cold or slightly too warm to die - there is a narrow 'cold' zone only when it does this). If you restart straight away its like a pained 'eeeeeee', wait 5 seconds and its the normal 'eee eee eee eee'.No popping or miss fires or anything. Should be 'oem' grade oil Yip... This is the problem. You can only reproduce every 24 hours and it will do it once maybe twice if you are lucky.

    Actually if you try and start straight away it sounds like it is struggling but does start. Wait 5 seconds and it turns over normally Are you on to something here

    Yeah nothing in the scan apparently. What do you suggest? Just bring it in to check all that stuff?

    Yeah its only from 'stone cold' it happens, (but will start and idle fine, only stall after 30 seconds of driving). Had multiple oil changes since having the issue, (by garages we all know on here). Been living with this for a while as it is a minor annoyance, but if I was looking to sell I would want it sorted. Idle is rock solid perfect outside this narrow window.
  5. Yo, I have had 2 respected garages unable to fix my issue, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? - Car stalls when cold, but only when really cold, (like over night) - Doesn't stall right away - drive up my drive and stop and its OK. But then at the end of the street the revs will drop and it will stall. - After maybe 2 minutes (and still in the blue cold zone) it will be OK. Its a really narrow zone that this happens in. Happens like clock work though. - No stalls when cold started when leaving work in the evening. (If I didn't have to stop for 500m when leaving my house, I would never even know its an issue) Tried new air flow meter. Been suggest its because of a pod filter (really? no one else seems to have this issue) I understand its hard for a garage as you can only repeat the issue once a day in that narrow window. Any suggestions? Cheers

    whats the link to that gear knob again please? The colour is so bright it looks shopped! Edit: TY for link
  7. Are you committed to maintenance? I hope so, cause it doesn't stop and get used to 'yeah just have to order that from Italy'.

    Yeah will probably get some freshies. About a year old and they are grey brown. I have a sunroof though? Pretty sure I got from the same store. Definitely worth it regardless.

    Beware those gaiters fade like crazy.
  10. We need pics. Also some pics of the car.
  11. Assuming condition is good - it's worth more than $4k. I'd say $6k+
  12. I've seen and heard this car quite a bit. Its loud as fck and he 'uses' it.
  13. Cabs face lifted later on.

    yes, meant rear as the seal is under the spoiler. Looking forward to pics...
  15. Hipster reporting in. Would like 'vert to knock about in. Although it would pain me so bad not having the FL. Plastidip the chrome? I think I may have driven this 5 years or so ago? Previous owner in Ponsonby? Price looks good anyway.

    Everytime I turn a rag completely black and get the stitching coloured, it's gone in a week Looks sweet. That's a great deal from pit stop. They look like the oem tips which are a lot more than $20 obviously. I also would like to replace real rubber but the roof spoiler it's preventing me removing the existing seals. Cracks me up how similar our cars are. You win on vaders and stagger. Check eBay for cheap gaiters
  17. Yeaaaahhhh. I'll tell you why; 1. Its ugly as sin 2. It's not that big (the floor area would include the garage) and the section is tiny reletive to the dwelling size 3. ITS A FLAT ROOFED PLASTER LEAKER 4. If it doesn't leak, it has the stigma of a leaker 5. Landscaping? lolwut 6. Did I mention it's hideous?

  19. I was directing my comment of that apartment vs the leaker to you, but other comments were referring to the general mindset of newer buyers. However I am curious. Why do you think $1m is a lot for remuera ? Remuera prices have been flat for a while and haven't seen increases anywhere near other parts of Auckland. $1m has been enrty level remuera for 10 years. Perhaps you need to do a bit more homework, because I would advise you to run a mile from that listing you posted. Here's a tip. If a property is advertised with a price in Auckland at the moment, it's overpriced. Talk to a few different agents, they won't be shy to tell you their thoughts on competitor listings. Engage a valuer. And if you are requesting property advice in a car sale sub forum of a BMW website, you're doing it wrong /troll
  20. BNZ will give you 95% with no valuation if you buy at auction, (with .5% LEM). If you can get under 85% no LEM. A OP - that apartment is better than that leaker in Remuera, and 120sqm is a massive apartment. Take out the carparks and its about what good buildings go for per square metre. But isn't this the problem... People in their 20's moaning because houses in Remuera or pimp CBD apartments are too expensive. People need to accept that they can't walk straight into their dream home. People have always been going on about a 'crash' or 'just wait a couple of years, prices will come down'. Historically how has that worked out for them? Prices are once again at all time highs. The risk is interest rates go to 10%+ - but if that happens mortgage payments will be the least of our worries. If you have no capital, and earn only 'avergage' money property is really the best option. Can you save $200k in 3 years on your salary? And if its your first home - whats the worst case scenario? You default lose your house and go back to renting. Like you are now.
  21. You wouldn't dare modify a car either would you? Stick to your iPhone brah...
  22. Nexus 4 is good but it has drawbacks. - back cracks easy and is super slippery - camera is poor. Yes poor. - battery is average only. - design is lacklustre. - speaker is average Running both stock and CM10 with faux kernel and sometimes Franco. Better battery than stock but still nothing great. The One looks sweet, but battery doesn't sound that great either.
  23. Anyone got this bit that goes under the number plate on an e46? Cheers
