oh that was so bollocks!!!.. they way they review the cars as well its like.. it's all scripted and they are reading.

316... gutless low milage relic

DA MAN!!! how much do you love your car LOL!! we should have put in also major works / parts done

e36: 245k's e38: 229K's

i hvnt seen it yet. seen some tiny bits of ads here and there... might go check out an ep.. then come back here and rant

NEVER pour concentrated coolant straight from the bottle to your cooling system. have another bottle and mix coolant + water 50 - 50 mix in there then pour into your cooling system. concentrated coolant poured straight from the bottle can erode your radiator.

yup as tony said, and check those links. also check roof lining, instrument cluster pixel, last trans service. check front rotors. if it has a lip [like mine] time to be replaced. check brake lines if you can get under the car with a flashlight. these are heavy cars and at those k's they prob will need replacing like mine. shocks: even though its heavy, the car should not be waving around and bouncing around. it should be firm. also ask when was the battery last replaced/ how long has it been in the car. those batteries are hefty on the pocket. the boot should have 2 luggage straps, and a mesh near the boot lock. check the speakers if they play alright on semi loud. press all the buttons to see if they work fuses are: above glove box, driver side, and rear right above battery. oh and when driving turn off radio and blower. the 7 series should not have any sort of banging, clinging or vibration. it should be quiet and olny road noise and a bit of the engine should be heard

yep. then by all means get one!! its really a nice car to drive. tidy looking if you get the right setup. only thing i hate about it is trying to park and squeeze it in tight parking spaces !! grrr.. its big and fat assed lol. if you are going to be driving mostly in urban areas. get a 730i.. the 740i just rapes the gas tank any lower than the 730i and the engine will struggle.

take the calipers out and look at the piston. if its rusty or stuck. best to lube it up and try and compress it in. had this on my civic piston was shot as it was sitting far too long in the garage. even the compress would not budge the stuck piston.

my e38 is around 245km... 740i only major prob i had was: rear engine vacuum cracked. caused misfiring. -fixed front shocks leaked. failed warrant. bought a whole new set drives like a dream now. coolant reservoir needs replacing. front rotors need replacing soon. have got the mysterious battery discharge syndrome atm.. apart from those its mint dont buy a 7 series if you cant afford its maintenance. it will just empty your pocket and ruin the car: front shocks ea. $630 for non DSC...

can they do the windscreen weather seal as well?

how much was the full front respray?

hey guys, anyone know who can replace the rubber seal under the windscreen just above the firewall? mine is so brittle that when i washed my car, the hose practically stripped some bits off :/ anyone got theirs replaced? around how much am i looking at?

now he's a rich guy with no legs and can't drive cars anymore

went to turners.. and i "kinda won" a car .. but auctioneer said did not meet reserve... hmmm.. and they dont even tell what the reserve was .... ruined my first time at turners

looks like the plate number is: bmp344

i got quoted from arrow wheels out at west. 160 + GST to repaint my 18" but that included lip damage repair and respray edit: oh that's each

oo need front e36 coupe bumper.. got m3? and underside front fenders covers. got any e38?

yeah but the e30 is a looker !!!. that quattro dont even compare in looks..

damn nice lil adventure u on there !! planning on teaching english in japan next year

seen that top gear ep when he was hammering the Lada and the sound was a big solid *thud* LOL

if it does the job and it aint broke.. dont replace it LOL they got a/c, it gets you to A - B even to Z easy on the gas and probably paid off no loans to pay off, decent on comfyness, and loads of spare cheap parts... oh and drivers ain't grouchy or scary to talk to lol they tend to practice their engrlish on you lol

oo pics !!

they need to advertise... i just stumbled upon it a year ago when i wanted something than trademe.. but if i wasn't googling i would not have found them.. they need tv advert. like what trademe did a few years back when it was just starting.

yup.. then drive home secretly and hope noone sees you or take a photo of you... then park in garage. buy new fenders and there ya go those are not OEM fitment right?? just making sure...
