  1. Welcome, I like the wheels on your ride. Drive safe! -Andy
  2. Out of question, is din 85 * din88 standard for all e39? so a 520i, 525i, 528i, 540i all use the same battery?
  3. Look at the demo on the site. tbh it doesnt look very good. I think your current wheels look much nicer!
  4. Nice! Love the wheels. Did you add on the Msport kit yourself?
  5. Replace battery today. $252 for battery and $37 for labour so $290 total. The guy started off convincing me to try buy a $700 battery, after saying no he recommended me to buy a $500+ battery. Already felt he was trying to rip me off so told him I'm a student and ask for the lowest price. The battery they put in is slightly smaller than the one they took out so I asked them twice if it would run good. They confirmed it was ok. Will see how it goes. For the time being start up and all electronics seem good
  6. Alright, cleaned up the mess, removed old battery. Asking the wise men on this topic a last time. Are batteries plug and play? Like I take my battery into a place such as super cheap auto or such and get them to find me one with same specifications, take it home and put the new battery in how I took the old battery out (but connecting positive first) ? Thanks guys
  7. +1 for eyelid to go. Otherwise an amazing car. Love the wheels. -Andy
  8. sorry I am noob about these things. Should I unplug both the terminals before washing down? If I remember correctly disconnect Black (negative) first then the red (positive)?
  9. would it be a bad idea to jump start my car? Taken into account there is that yellow stuff there...
  10. Hi guys, I have a E39 528i Recently (this month or so) with this cold weather my car had a few start ups where the car starts up, but none of the dials or the dash display works. Now today after starting up, parking in a different spot to wash it. It could not restart! When in position 2, the radio, tv, and all the usual works, but when I try to start the car, the head lights flash, and just wont start! I also hear a tick tick tick sound from the front. I checked the battery immediately and found all this yellow stuff (maybe acid? corrosion?) around wher the battery is hooked up. (both positive and negative sides) Please give me advice. Car cannot start and is completely stationary! Thanks Andy
  11. Reminded me of the when the speeding ferrari crashing into a taxi in Singapore. Full article here: Ferrari crash into Taxi video and Story
  12. I need someone to fix my style 65 as close to original as possible in christchurch! I HATE CURB MARKS!
  13. bad luck about the burglary. i agree OSX is indeed much more professional. I have always found IOS to look like a kids thing. Soon i'm buying an alienware
  14. Style 65 Wheel Article Article backing up what tmase has said.
  15. wow nice article! After seeing those wheels I want to cry... makes mine looks like an absolute disgrace... But all of that process must have taken a big amount of money...
  16. iPads are useless... usually just for the close minded people who want to show off they are rich and have no idea in IT.

    F40

    Looking from an accounting sense of view, yes thats true. But looking from an economic view, the satisfaction I would get by purchasing other car(s), would outweight that I would have if I had purchased the F40, therefore I would ask the question why buy a car if its not the one you actually like If appreciation and depreciation is needed to be taking into consideration, wouldn't investing in land or property be better? If so, why would some rather this car? It is because the satisfaction one gets from acquiring this vehicle is greather to that of an extra property or land. This could also be said vice - versa. ...And of course I am dreaming talking about owning such things in the near future. hehe
  18. You should be a Minister of Police 3rd offense upon pullover, light car on fire on side of road and force offender to watch it burn.

    Smokers

    Wow, looks great! If you were in Christchurch I'd purchase some off you... Not too keen on supermarket bacon, mostly filled with water.
  20. Personally, I hate boy racers. I appreciate responsible youth driving "actually nice" cars with enthusiasm in their vehicles but I am sick of people on giving the finger on the aves, drink driving, burning rubber on public roads. What benefit is that to any other user on the roads? I would say crush away. The Karn Forrest guy can also be found on facebook. The first result actually. Looks the biggest of all douches. It was great when I saw a 1990 or so Cefiro revving infront of Bus Exchange in Christchurch (Before earthquakes) with the usual spray paint black rims, cut springs, big bore, you know the rest. And then a Gallardo pulls up behind him. First time I saw a boy racer actually tryna keep his car quiet!
  21. what a steal. i would have been keen!
  22. TBH not my cup of tea, can get a E60 M5, E92 M3 and an E46 M3 for that kinda price.
  23. wonder how big the turning circle will be...
  24. Sure is easy to replace. But no $$$ at the moment. On the other hand, I'm looking for some E39 sill trims
