I'd definitely be pissing on your toothbrush

In before the rebuttal....

You must be fun to live with Dave....

Time for another diff seal. Must’ve been a 1000km running-in seal. Ffs. That’ll teach me for replacing them (old wern’t leaking) while having the diff out.

I reckon the smg suits the character of the S85 perfectly.

To me that colour is just primer with a clear coat.

Last I heard they don’t deal with the public anymore. Probably should get around to removing the sponsor thing..

DSC module now. Rear end next week.

Did you replace the gasket ring that’s pressed in to the thermostat housing? Looking at the old one in mine it looks to have been allowing radiator coolant in to the engine before the thermostat opens, which is what caused my long coolant warm ups.

Put in a new thermostat and gasket housing ring, what a bitch that ring was to remove. Didn’t have to remove the whole plenum this time though so that saved a couple of hours. Now she gets up to normal operating temperature and doesn’t run as rich anymore.

Wonder how much in $ fcp euro sells to nz?

Nicely done Aaron. Not the first person to move on from M5 ownership only to come back to it. Testament to a great all round car.

2002 with less than 1000kms on the odo... 176k usd. I think your pricing is a bit on the low ball/quick sale side.

Pilot super sports have been replaced by the ps4s. Maybe was an ex M car track experience demo?

Mixed oxy and acet in one bottle... nekk minut click the link.

Looks like it has a service history too... https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1737511000.htm

Keep it stock and get a very good mechanical insurance policy, keep a stash in the bank for maintenance and you’d get a good run out of it imo. But it’s a modern M car and I suspect the temptation to upgrade will be too great. And so a cycle of depreciation and buyers remorse continues on in the back of the owners mind....

I had a guy beg me when i sold the e36 to sell it to him for $100 less. He then lost the key 2 days later.

Yeah... so I know now, you use your drivers license as ID to change the address of a vehicle, it changes ALL vehicles. Anyway I think I may have them on a procedural error as the final demand letters from Baycorp were sent to the wrong address 2 months after NZTA changed the address on the 7th of April to be the correct one. I also found out last year that when I paid for rego and did a change of address (moved house) the data was entered in as 36 *street name* not the correct 36b *street name* Easy mistake to make i guess and where all this sh*t started.

Auckland Transport, NZTA, and now the MOJ... Got an infringement sent to my neighbors address from AT for driving in a bus lane back in March.... it only doesn’t become a bus lane about 20m before you can turn left, and the other lane was queued up. No buses in site at that time either. Anyway, only by chance received the 2 final demand letters as my other neighbor was collecting my mail while i was overseas. The neighbor who received them must’ve finally clicked that the mail belongs to me and put it in my letterbox while i was away for my other neighbor to collect... i still am yet to recieve the original infringement from AT. AT say that the address changed for the car filmed in the bus lane on the 7th April... After the infringement was issued which funnily enough is the exact date i did an address change for my other car that i bought. Now it’s in the MOJ’s hands with an extra bill slapped on. Cool!

Maybe you just don’t understand that function follows form...

I went from 8 years of e39 540i ownership to one of these. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1725782897.htm?rsqid=2884b66464604e1e9dd678f094e4ffa7

Yet to drive one but am partial to an LCI Touring.
