If it costs $60.00 to fill, you filled the windscreen washer bottle!!

How about we do it in metres/dollar. That way we can exaggerate our fuel figures just by going to a cheaper station eg. Mobil in Levin

Just buy a wifi OBD2 dongle such as http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/kiwi-3-obd-smartphone-watch-and-tablet-car-diagnostic-tool-24-06-2015/

1200 bucks excess with State Insurance.

Time for my daughter to get her restricted.....gulp...

It was the beer talking....

yep..I agree with all of those. I find it funny...all those who cry about imperial units but are still happy to blurt out "half a metre" or "quarter past six". They should be saying 0.5 of a metre or 0.25 past six.

So Ron, what size rims have you got on the Bimmer...just asking?

Whoops....forgot Google converter worked in US measures. I bow to your powers of observation....8.5L/100km it is.

mpg is pretty universally understood but 7L/100km if you prefer.

Just took the m on a 650km round trip to New Plymouth from Wellington on a tank of gas...that's a pretty damn fine 33mpg for 105-110km/hr on the open road.

On the off chance you are not putting 50V halogens in are you?

I thought it was going to turn into another SMG vs manual session..my mistook.

Best put this one in the mix too... http://www.racechip.com/chiptuning/bmw/3er/f30/335i-10-2011-225kw/index.php

Yeh thanks for all of the 'other' incorrect information - Tom. As for the SMG hater, a clutch is only good for dropping. Some of us don't get off on mistreating our cars.

After all this time I never knew that if you held the gear lever forward (or back) while turning off the engine the car stays in gear when stopped...who knew that?

I'm guessing he has had a bad day..

Could someone please tell me if the front headlight levelling sensor is supposed to spin around and around. I have two now and both spin around freely. When plugged in neither adjust the headlight motors so I'm now fault-finding further.

I only recommend this app as it works with e46 M3 which is known to have some real issues with some apps. I have the paid version which allows you to clear codes.

This: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.eobdfacile.android&hl=en I use it with a Bluetooth ELM327 clone on my e46 m3 and it works an absolute treat for reading and clearing codes. Not cheap but a goodie. if you want an OBD logger then I recommend DashCommand which also works with the BT obd2 dongle.

Good spotting but I need the $57USD sensor plus this : http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearch/pel_search_2014.cgi?command=show_part_page&please_wait=N&model=0564&section=ELSENS&page=5&bookmark=18&part_number=31-12-2-282-404-M9&make=BMW so that's a total of 126USD plus postage (all up about 270 NZ bucks)

Two things: Before I replace one of these https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=e46+headlight+levelling+sensor&espv=2&biw=1527&bih=841&tbm=isch&imgil=TMG3iH5l_NN4_M%253A%253BuobYyMId5HBFIM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.m3forum.net%25252Fm3forum%25252Farchive%25252Findex.php%25252Ft-436078.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=TMG3iH5l_NN4_M%253A%252CuobYyMId5HBFIM%252C_&usg=__DZyLur_A7MH7kj7lzyWYAa692L8%3D&ved=0CCUQyjdqFQoTCIaf9Kf-5cYCFSPlpgodiu8AjQ&ei=yvWqVYaSLqPKmwWK34PoCA#imgrc=TMG3iH5l_NN4_M%3A&usg=__DZyLur_A7MH7kj7lzyWYAa692L8%3D 1. Is the arm meant to spin around and around absolutely freely? 2. If not, where can I get one plus the arm (front) without paying Jeffrey's prices?

Then I'm too old. I did however install the original PC version of NFS in 1995.

What do people hear when they listen to that type of music, 'cos it can't be what I hear...Maybe people say it is good music just to conform. Do people actually think that sounds good compared to a good jazz cover band like Postmodern Jukebox?
