  1. Most online searches will not search for any search terms with 3 characters or less, I suspect this forum is adhering to that rule. It saves a lot of load on servers and data bases, but also means we can't search for Chassis Numbers, or Model Numbers of cars here, if there is a way to permit it when Numbers are included, it will make it easier for me to find old threads about the car I bought, E34 V12, or just E34, V12, 550, 520... you name it search results come up as 0, not even an appropriate error telling me what is happened, so I'm making an educated guess here.
  2. Probably hasn't, the leading bidder was the person I outbid, they also purchased an alternative vehicle and asked for their bid to be removed (as did I), but I doubt the vendor wanted to let it go for the next lowest bid around the 3K mark, probably going to be a FPO in the next day or so for 3.5-3.8K
  3. I'm not sure I want to show my face at his place after the grief I gave him over the VIN his E34 M5
  4. Probably, just me some spares and a carry on bag so far, where's pickup? could have a squiz sunday Early Arvo.
  5. Fairly High Chance I'm driving the E34 touring from Auckland to Christchurch this weekend, Anyone on that route want to chuck anything bulky or fragile in the boot for fuel Koha? Probably departing Sunday Arvo, will decide if I'm doing the trip Sunday AM. a.k.a. Help me feed the M70.
  6. Well, I shall eat my hat, congrats with the sale.
  7. If it has one, it's on the right side riiiiight at the back (standing in front, looking at the engine) https://www.boards.ie/b/thread/2056213995 Or, with i'm sure a now embarrassingly obvious Red Handle that takes some beans to remove
  8. Well, it's not like I need to worry about preserving the consistency of the Speedo... maybe I should just chuck a KPH on in it, can I do that without pissing off LTSA etc?
  9. Any tips on where to source a new face for the speedo gauge? The MPH being dominant bugs the heck out of me and gets me in trouble when I'm not paying attention... I can only seem to find white faces for some reason when I google it.
  10. If it's factory colour still: Paint code: 244 - STERLINGSILBER METALLIC https://www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/vin/decoder/AG27115/EN
  11. Welcome, I love white E30's, any videos of the racket the engine must make? Lumpy idle?
  12. When I bought my house I found a collection of several hundred LPs and 45's in the attic of the Garage. All bar 30 or 40 were well buggered or of no interest and went on Trademe to be sold by weight. of those that survived I've only listened to a few, the vast majority I've never heard of, lots of obscure stuff from the 70's and 80's I think, I've only listened to the main stream stuff I've heard of, loads of Bruce Springsteen and some Elton john, Bob Dylan and the like
  13. Interesting, should have an Alpina VIN plate though, my questions should prompt that to be uploaded or a defensive slurry. this has to be the cheapest Alpina ever if genuine.
  14. So google seems to think Alpina has touched a few X5's, but if this listing is the real deal, the fitout and price are lower than I'd expect, two badges and wheels do not an Alpina make? https://www.trademe.co.nz/1377092420 fairly sure they were 4.6L till 2003 then 4.8L http://www.alpina-archive.com/?page_id=214
  15. There's a few on trademe, first one below was even a $1 reserve http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1372356645.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1345558251.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1345532269.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1371917821.htm
  16. Do we all pitch in make it a bimmersport club car/loan car, take it to track days. "Bimmer Sport Forum Members In a Reasonably Priced E39 Motorsport." Have a lap board and all like Top Gear, old top gear; we shan't speak of that Chris Evans/Joey from friends monstrosity... should have got Leno.
  17. If I'd not had my rock bottom offer on a certain V12 E34 accepted I'd have been all over this. It drove really nice, smooth and quiet till you put your foot down then it's a race between the speedo needle and the edges of your mouth to get as high as possible. It has had a bucket load of money spent on it, so maybe the worst is behind it.
  18. Google 'Royalty Free Music' a lot of it exists, I'll dig out some links later, some of it by top artists like Moby.
  19. Some good advice by Olaf, remember you can still speak while recording as notes for your voiceover, but if you make any vocal mistakes you won't need to worry, can fix in post, overlay the HiQuality audio, keep anything spontaneous and funny for B reel or bloopers, I've thought about somthing similar with a curse cut at the end, every swear word spoken cut and spliced and played alphabetically, it'd crack me up anyway, and kept separate from main vlogs means you won't get those videos flagged and rendered NSFW.
  20. An old mechanic once told me just get the car you want, every car has potential to cost money, every car will cost money, so drive the one that you like, you'll fell better spending money on it than spending on a car you don't like. Toyota Corollas can go to sh*t too if they are mistreated.
  21. In the other makes thread I suppose
