I can't stop looking at that white leather in the M3 Convertible. "That's hot!"

Do you have front seatbelt reciever pieces with mint red "press" buttons?

Merry Christmas all. Also a special mention to Glenn, thanks for putting up with all our stupid questions throughout the year!

But 328c1 is registered to a silver 328 ci. I seriously like that M one!!!!

From NZ Herald: If BMW Oracle wins an appeal in the New York courts sometime next year, the team may race its trimaran against one being designed by Alinghi, the America's Cup holders, in a one-on-one series under the rules outlined in the Cup's governing document, the Deed of Gift. That would be a Deed of Gift match, or DOG match - giving the trimaran its Dogzilla nickname.

Good work. The police have no right to search either you or your car if they don't have a warrant (except when they think you have drugs, stolen goods or are entering an area with a liquor ban). They also can't impound your car because of having illegal plates. I carry a nice little "Your rights" pamphlet inside my glove box which folds out to A3 size. To really get them going, start quoting the relavant sections of Acts of law! haha Oh, and write to the Police Complaint Authority. Go on about the officers blantantly lying about having a warrant and how that decieved you etc.

This should be a sticky. Dad played $444 + GST getting his adjusters fixed on his '01 530i at Team McMillan!

Very interesting. I bet if Siemens/BMW spent a mere $1 per unit more to get better quality solder/metal for the contacts this wouldn't happen. The same thing happened in my G4 iBook. Went fine for two years, and then all of a sudden wouldn't boot up unless I put pressure by the touch sensor mouse. I ended up G-clamping it too my desk!! After lots of research it turned out to be cheap solder used the contacts to one chip were slightly dodgy. After taking it apart and placing a small piece of plastic to keep pressure on the chip it worked fine!

Sure

This topic is 6 months old. Radar detectors "save lifes by reminding drivers that the cops are out there"? Whatever, they just allow Mr Fatcat businessman to speed in his HSV on his way to the bach with the family. Speed kills, and radar detectors encourage speeding.

Does the M40 cluster have a good SI board?

Off topic but how do you tell the difference between Facelift and Pre Facelift in the e36? I know of the wider chrome strip around the kidney grille, but surely there'll be more than one difference!

And it really helps if you have a friend to help.

Ultra low km too!

I hate people that automatically jump to conclusions looking at Carjam before using a little common sense. The next reading after the "odometer decrease" is 197,292km, which is a difference of 123292km. Looking at the usage between all the other WoFs you can logically work out that the 74,000km reading should be 174,000. Car usage would not jump from around 15 km per day to a sudden 327km per day for one year and then back to around 50 km a day. ViR reports place this info in a graph, so one can see the usage and can work out any errors.

Looks mint. Any interior pics?

Dad's wanting to know the best tyres to go on his 17" (I think) Style 32s on his '01 530i He wants the ideal tyre qualities, quiet, comfortable, durable performance tyres etc. It currently has of Michelin Pilot Preceda 2s on it. Any input appreciated. Cheers

Imported from Germany?

The dealer can bring up the original option list through the chassis number.

Sold new in NZ but with Miles on the clock?

I'm the student rep on my school BOT, and at the moment the commerce commission is investigating the sale of uniforms, as most schools have an exclusive deal with a retailer that prevents competition. Surely this is the same thing but with plates???

Tech 1, but only with the motorsport sticker on the bottom.

Those sport seats look fantastic!

Oh my. That reminds me of those ghastly tiger acrylic blankets people buy.
