NZ BMW

Thanks for the feedback - I'll see if I can get some prices for these as I can't seem to find any online. I'm surprised that you rate Hankook so badly. A lot of the guys on the US based BMW forums seem to rate them very highly.

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some recommendations on some tyres, I've currently got some 235/45/17 Michelin (Think they're Pilots). I don't really have a budget as such, generally I would spend about $200 or so per tyre on 16 inch car tyres on my old Mercedes S320, I'd like to spend about the same on these say about $250 per tyre. However I'd be willing to spend more per tyre if for example they would last longer I would be keen to at least look into Michelin or Continentals as the ones I've got on the car seem to be a good tyre, but I understand I'd be looking at around $500 per tyre or there abouts. I've got 4mm of tread all round at the moment so I don't need to buy anything right this minute but they will need replacing. I tend to lean towards mid range Goodyears or Dunlops but have never tried Bridgestone or Hankook so I'd be keen to hear what people are running at similar sizes and how they're handling and lasting. Noise is also an issue for me I really HATE excessively loud tyres. Thanks,

Hi Everyone, I'm interested in getting a copy of NavCoder, which I will purchase from the website and most likely getting one of the pre-made plugs sold from this website here: http://yourbmw.info/ My question is has anyone got any pictures or step-by-step instructions for the installation of the iBus plug for those of us who are technically inept? Does it require soldering etc or it it just a matter of connecting it up? Also is there any local support in Auckland in terms of anyone who knows what they're doing who I could call on to do it for me if I got stuck - I'm sure we could work out some form of payment in either beer or money form Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for two front headrests which will fit an E39. I purchased two comfort headrests with the intention of using them in my 2001 E39 but sadly the stalks are fatter. I can open up the comfort headrests to change out the stalks but the standard ones are sealed units. As such I'm after two standard headrests so I can swap the stalks across. I'm not concerned about the condition as I just intend to use the stalks. I'm only interested in purchasing headrests. Not whole seats, as they're often sold. Cheers.
