CSET

She won't look like this much longer new bits have started arriving from Japan. Rollcage stays for now, I like it too much. Front splitter is going in the bin and the Fancywide rear diffuser will be uninstalled (both scrape on everything and have seen better days, time for replacement).

Spent a little time on this one over the weekend, removed the wrap and tidied it up a little. A fair few carbon fiber replacement parts are on the way, this should look a bit different again by xmas.

Took this on to Hampton Downs a few weeks back to support the Porsche Club track day. A foggy morning presented an excellent opportunity for some cool pics.

The irony! Hahaha. Exceptional platform for a head scratching promo car I'd say

If you thought the Sony Carplay tablet install was a bit of a far step from OEM you're gonna love the latest changes to this one.

As per title, e39 m5 wheels for sale. I had these professionally restored and repainted white in 2020, new semi slicks at the same time. Details in auction. I don’t check Bimmersport much, best place to contact is Trademe cheers https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/listing/4534754568

Selling e39 M5 wheels if anyone's keen https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/listing/4534754568

On the contrary, I think it looks great. Which is lucky, being that it's my car

It's only been a year since an update ...! Not huge progress in the past year, just under 500kms driven since last Jan and some custom audio work by Rapid. They made a false boot panel to block off the rear with a sub in it, the noise difference is immense. They also installed one of these Sony CarPlay tablet things with a reversing camera, oo-er so modern. Living in a Showcase currently (these are cool) but out this arvo for some trim tidyups then we have some branding being applied next week or two, watch this space

Bit of a thread dredge but where’s you get your carbon bonnet out of interest please? I’m running the Geoff Steel CSL airbox now, and agree the noise is glorious

Thanks guys for your kind recommendations & support <3

Picked up some new tyres for the e9x 18's

Yep, heck of an upgrade for the old e46. But that being said, I'm having a little trouble fitting the e39 wheels. Have spaced the fronts but running into some other issues (the hub locator rings barely fit on the spacers, and I don't like spacers in the first place...). Chances are I'll swap the e9x 18's on for a try then failing that will revert to CSL 19's. Albeit not as much sidewall and a seeminly harsher ride, they still handle okay and look great.

Before after with the oem CSL brakes!

Oooh

Wow so long since I posted that I forgot my password. This one has had a couple of small updates, new big brake kit has arrived, swapped on the semi slicks + e39 wheels (painted gloss white), new tune for the carbon CSL intake and had the RTAB's replaced again. Need to do a nut & bolt check then ready for the South Island tour next year. For now she's sitting pretty in the dust-free Showcase.

Yeah bloody phone autocorrect, textar. Original CSL's were good, but I'd prefer slotted discs. And if I'm changing discs, may as well do it properly. Edit: didn't mention above, CSL discs are wobbly and I don't want to skim them.

MTOY is now TIER. I had this plate on another car for a while, but time for a change. I like 4 letter plates. Also has a new water pump. Plans are to actually drive this car; it has travelled around 1,000kms the past year, and barely any of it with me driving. Next up replace the brakes. It's running CSL rotors, calipers and textile pads but they're getting a bit low. Likely going to do Stoptech bbk.

I am, it looks great

Hey m3 friends, I have a Maxton Designs front lip spoiler and side skirts for an e46 M3 for sale. The side skirts haven't been opened or fitted (still in original box), and the front lip was fitted for a short period of time before removal (as it is too low for my application/planned usage) - some minor scraping on the bottom of the lip during my trial fitment. $500 for both, pickup Penrose AKL. PM or text/call me if you're interested 021 832 609. Side skirts: https://www.maxtondesign.co.uk/side-skirt-diffusers-bmw Front lip: https://www.maxtondesign.co.uk/fronts-plitter-v2-bmw-m3 Pics of front lip (none of side skirts as not unwrapped):

One of these young Instagram fellows took some pics of this car for his gram, kids got talent! His deets: https://www.instagram.com/jrgcarsnz/?hl=en

Yeah going aftermarket, second set in a few years so I want something stronger.

Turns out the diff bushings are dead as well - joys of cars

Ah! I was doing a little shakedown pre-trip run to Pukekohe and back Made it to Cooks Beach and back perfectly fine, now it's off to get the center hanger for the driveshaft replaced.

New battery, few more clicks of soft in the suspension and road trip ready...!
