  1. Got pulled over many years ago and the cop brought this up. Threatened to ticket me for it as is considered an offence to have the incorrect address according to him. You change it by getting a new licence from VTNZ or the like, circa $50. When i got my 10 year renewal i ticked not to display an address. New licence came in the post. Old address still on it and another $50 to change it. Haven't bothered.
  2. This is the sad truth now. People got cheap and wheels got expensive. Also the supply of decent used wheels to refurb dried up
  3. BBS never released the formula on how to achieve the correct gold sadly. Your best bet is to have the current finish colour matched then mixed up. Even this won't be exact but will be close.
  4. Depends how the car is used. A few track days annihilate CCM but normal/spirited road driving you'll hardly even have to change pads.
  5. Cars thrashed from new always drive better ?
  6. Main thing that get's me is they say they had it valued at 38k but won't divulge which company/individual did the valuation....
  7. Colleague went to look at it....basically you'd only buy it for the wheels and engine to part out was the verdict
  8. If you search 'Hartge' in Facebook marketplace a set will come up. Asking was $800. He hasn't checked for buckles so would recommend making the purchase subject to that.
  9. Ah, they closed down recently. My set of BBS was the last job they did. Stellar job so unfortunate that they're gone.
  10. Just as a side note, where were you quoted $40 to dip/blast them? That's super cheap

    Too late, https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1665698868 Need the space back anyway. Too many sets of wheels on the go currently

    Decided to $1 reserve it as it's taking up space at work and really have no interest in owning a car currently. Bidding is up to $260......hopefully I get at least $265! https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1612455610

    Oops, forgot to put it in the post. Asking on trademe is $6500 but I am certainly open to negotiation as it isn't in perfect condition.

    Offered for sale is a beautiful BMW 7-series in E32 chassis - 1992 BMW 740il v8 4.0 This classic, timeless, luxury sedan looks great and gets complimented everywhere it goes. Vehicle drives and handles great. Starts right up , shifts without any issues and embraces the road just like a German flagship is meant to. Pleasure to drive. Gray metallic exterior over light gray leather interior. Paint is overall nice and shiny. All the gauges work! Power windows, seats and mirrors everything work as well as the sunroof! Cold AC. I purchased it from the previous owner who unfortunately let the registration lapse due to other commitments taking all of his time. It has since been re-complied and cleaned up to the state you see it in now. Since purchasing it has had brake discs and pads front and rear. Oil, brake fluid and coolant service. New rear tyres. A machine polish. Small bits like the bonnet gas struts and wiper rubbers have been done also. Service history with BM workshop. $1 reserve auction More details on the trademe link. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1612455610 745466937 by Brett Fraser, on Flickr 745466954 by Brett Fraser, on Flickr Selling to fund other ventures. Would like this car to go to an enthusiast.
  19. They do look very good too. Was looking at them. Most likely selling the car when I've finished cleaning it up however so no more cash to be sunk into it other than servicing costs at this stage.
  20. I 100% agree with you there. However, they have been removed for a refinish. After that I will look into what to do with them.
  21. Thought I'd leave a couple pics of my old static E36 here too. Miss that ruined POS every now and then
