that is 2.6 tonnes. around 700kg heavier than a e38. and the e38 is packed full of stuffand weighs in at i think 1,8 tonnes. careless driving and a bit of boot full on the pedal i get about 13k/L on the e38. nana driving i get about 11km/L.

haha dealer trying tp up his sales by putting IS ?

My other daily car is a 2.8Tonne beast already, 200KW engine. It getting about 14-15L/100km

The car in question isn't about the normal 4.6/4.8is.... Its trying to establish whether there was a 4.4IS!

According to the dealer:

Hi Ali,

Thank you for your quick response

I have been told that this is one of three X5 IS models sold in New Zealand in 2002.

I believe that the larger motors that you talk about where the newer model X5 IS's.

Can some one have 100% proof to confirm or deny it?

Petrol isn't an issue for me, all I wanted to know was whether it was a good price. And if not what sort of dollar value should it be around?

I already roughly spend $150-200 on petrol a week.

Does people think the asking price is reasonable ?

Hey, i tried what Penry said, works like a charm is back to norman now..

Thanks guys

But on the other hand, whats the cost of a MP3 CD changer?

Do you have a rough cost of reparation?

Hey Guys, my CD Changer has decided to jam up today, tried turning on/off etc. The changer wont eject and i can see one of the cd trays sticking out. Is this something that can be repaired on the cd changer or is it time for a new one? I get a CD ERROR on the display when i try to play CD's.

If its time for a new one anyone know where i can get an direct swap MP3 6-disc CD Changer? Not at a really expensive price.

Car is an 2001 E39 530i, with no DSP package.

Average 500-600kms

Yeah, love the M Z4, taken one for test drive and it drives bloody well!

Well I had none two years ago. So the breed pretty quickly. lol

our family has gone through 9 so far. lol...

cannot view, as it says need to be a member.

i just want to try out the Alpines 10" running thru 1500w amp and half capacity

Yeah but going up there in a car thats designed to get the German Chancellor to meetings would kill everyone inside and within a 30km radius at the first corner.

I bet that 745i of the old mans would be quick in a straight line though, is it a NZ New job?

Yeah NZ new, he brought it brand new at the time. i do have to say it does handle suprisingly well, if your in town before thursday i could take you for a quick blast around the block, providing its not wet.

40 - 15000 k

burn this to CD and run it .. start at a low volume first. Warning it does get into the higher registers.

Hey can you make me one that does the full range including very very low ?

Sneaky bastard. I rekon I could have you in the works Mazda up 3 mile hill. That road becomes very easy to read after years of use.

HAHAHAHAH!!! dont forget that i lived in mosigel for a little while to and i travel up and down 3 mile hill quite often.

However the other difference is that mine is a lot heavier .. hahahhahaha..

Yes, and i yeah i already knew it was you clint

Would be interesting to take that for a race with the olds 745i. i've got it for another week atm.

does having the cat up there create a lot more unwanted heat?

Whats the actual benefits of having the cat right there ????

OMG that just made me sick.

Because i have the version of E39 that has the cats built into the headers... and there was no easy option to replace both.

DAMMIT it was such a shame that it couldn't go on my E39!!!

It appears to have done 155,000K in eight years... Rep mobile?

i do around 22,000 a year and i'm not a mobile rep, lol... and i live in DUNEDIN!
