  1. Wow, great spot - and only 305 made.
  2. I don't think the E46 ones fit E30/6... folks all over have tried.
  3. Wow, they look surprisingly good on the 8'er.
  4. I see. Well most common nowadays is the foam with pull out blocks so you can make it a shape that suits you. Although you won't get the perfect shape you'd rarely need that. I imagine it would be expensive to get them cut bespoke.
  5. Camera equipment store if you can find one that still exists...

    Quick rant thread.

    You can programme the intermittent speed in the E36... let me find the instructions... You might need to replace the wiper control module (I didn't need to).
  7. As a matter of interest where did you get these and what type?
  8. M Rain on the parcel shelf? I say no for sure.
  9. Agree with everybody about the colour, it's great. Get a fuel card!
  10. ^ Dude, ouch! Hope your pain is low and recovery is fast.
  11. That's what I used first, eventually upgraded once I'd saved a few hundred bucks. Never used the chat, not my style. Keep it up dude!
  12. Strange... not sure who's being serious here because Glen is the one that often says 'a little but of knowledge and some tools can be a disaster' but that's what he recommending above? Either way Dimitrious here's what's involved: http://www.beisansystems.com/procedures/m62tu_vanos_procedure.htm - and you can do it yourself with some patience and tools (which may be difficult/expensive to get in NZ). Certainly if you pay somebody to do it ($$$) make sure they provide a written warranty on workmanship that covers all of your costs to get back on the road (which could mean a new engine) if something does go wrong.
  13. I think you're better off searching/waiting for an Android Auto device (https://www.android.com/auto/) with an upgrade path so you never have to worry about outdated Nav or a propriety, out-of-support operating system. And if it's got a touch screen you need to go brand name or you'll just be in a world of pain.
  14. Good on you dude. Pocketing the $50 a day must feel good too!
  15. 50 a day? What else did you do?
  16. Understood but E36 M3's came with 'Anthracite' carpet and headliner as standard and it's officially 'black'. It's all good because I don't actually think I want 'black'. Might just have to get samples...
  17. Will do. I'm looking at anthracite (BMW for black) and maybe 3 "yards", perhaps 5 - I'm fully undecided. Although I've ordered 6 yards of M Rain and want to get it shipped together so need to decide soon. Ultimately adding a few yards should make little difference to the shipping price but that's what we're working on.
  18. Being worked on now - I'm dealing with the owner and he's doing a lot of running around for me so I'm being patient. I should know in a week or so.
  19. You and the team should be very, very proud of this Ray, it's stunning.
  20. Congratulations on your decision Kyu, it's a good one however daunting the road ahead seems. I've not had a cigarette for just over a year now (387 days) and I couldn't be happier, I know I'll never have another one. I smoked for about 25 years and couldn't imagine life without it but now I can't believe how simple life is as a non-smoker. I used to smoke about 15 a day, more on the weekends and I've saved $6,982 since I stopped. I used Champix which is a fully subsidised prescription wonder-drug (talk to your doctor). It gave me mild nausea for 8 weeks but on the balance it was worth it. I also used an app called "QuitNow!" and upgraded to the Pro version for a few bucks... this is how I know how many days! It also has some other neet capabilities. It's well worth the effort bud; socially, financially, psychologically and physically. Power to you!
  21. ^ lovely. Get some M3 mirrors; I reckon that would top it off.

    Really ?

    Any of you heard of Orakei Korako? A piece of New Zealand wonderland that everybody could visit and enjoy... now the private domain of indigenous "royalty". I simply can't accept taking something everybody can enjoy and giving it to a limited few irregardless of (ancient) history. Dispossession is not fixed via dispossession.
