  1. Bmw factory tour of the Dingolfing plant. Where they make 5,6,7 and i believe new 8 series. if doing Germany The Nordschleife is a must.
  2. What else did computer say about the cps ? Sporadic error ? etc ? May give clues.
  3. Sad times when even RR have to succumb to a market full of people who hate driving that buy SUV's/Sports cross over vehicles.
  4. The orange indicator lenses. Euro versions also got the better floating 2 piece brake discs.
  5. I was going to buy it but settled for an e39 M5. It’s a race car now, I stumbled across it in some facebook photos of a race weekend a few weeks back.
  6. Been using these guys for the past 4 years. http://www.carvaluation.co.nz/Site/HOME.ashx
  7. Alan had some really nice e31’s including an Alpina B12. Anyone still hear from him?
  8. Totally depends on the life it’s had, needs a good inspection. Common issues are mainly various fluid leaks and the coolant thermostat sticking open causing rich running.
  9. Earlier fl headlights can be unsealed, it’s just automotive chewing gum (butyl). Later ones were epoxied. Easy way to tell is remove top rubber weatershield strip and gently press on the seal with a small flatblade
  10. I think the s705A rears need to be paired with the longer M-tech 2 progressive rear springs. I am 99% certain the M-tech 1 rear springs are shorter and s704A shocks are also shorter to suit. If you can compare the lengths of the shocks that would be a good way to be sure.
  11. Yeah with all the tap water top ups it’s rendered the corrosion inhibitor useless. Such a shame as it’s a cool car.
  12. Well it’s no wonder it’s likely needing a corroded head repair done like his friends one.... Using “A cup of water” every 6 months to top off the coolant. Mmm nice Auckland hard tap water. Muppet.
  13. Why do Ranger’s, douche-max’s and Amacock’s have to be so high off the ground? Total pain in the arse trying to see traffic when one pulls up next to you at an intersection. Also they should give free parking lessons to the majority who buy these over-hyped P’sOS.
  14. Presume this will get repaired and sold, damage doesn’t look too bad at all.
  15. Sorry for your loss bro. Chin up and all the best to make bmthug version 2.0!
  16. VTNZ wof check for my partner's Mazda Poo (2). Passes with an advisory that rear brake pads will need replacing in the next 12 months. It has drum brakes in the rear.
  17. Hey, we’ll needs some pics and a price thanks.
  18. For the e53 nscexpert will be useful for what you’re wanting. There is a German to English translation cheet sheet floating about online. Any D-can cable should do.
  19. https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/importing-a-vehicle/exceptions/special-interest-vehicles/
  20. It could also be registered as a SIV, a member on here did it.
  21. Also had a go at bogging up and re-painting a cracked roof spoiler.
  22. A little of rust brewing under the boot seal that i treated and painted on the M5. The subi got a whole heap of bodywork repairs done while the M5 watched.
