Nice work! Brings back a few memories..
-
I remember reading about a fatal crash involving a model s. Took iirc several olympic swimming pools worth of water to put the batt fire out. You’d think there’d be some training on common ev’s and how to disable HV for fire fighters…

Extracted an m62 and trans for a mates project.

I’m sure that’s just one “hope” that the business has in its plans. I certainly hope they do keep supplying parts for all ICE models in years to come…

Yep that kit will work, the same one i used to fit to the spare trans i had for my old 530i touring. Penrite do a fluid that’s approved by zf for this trans. Can be found at repco. Torque converter rebuild will be knocking on the door soon i think. Common problem with these ones.

Similar Alpina albeit suv for well under half the price - https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3371808824.htm

Wof time. Replaced all 6 brake hoses and did a fluid flush with some fancy motul stuff. Good piece of mind replacing the hoses that are down near the exhaust headers.

Improved fuel economy to me is a bit of a false economy at the beginning until the novelty of a heavy jandal making you feel the performance increase wears off.
-
Yeah that’s a typical buyer strategy for a house up for auction. Agents on the oher hand are great at economising on the truth!

Does the kit include new diaphragm spring plates? Ones from the s62 are supposed to be an upgrade and do help keep the vanos unit much quieter- certainly the case on s62 engine. ShopLife TV in YouTube has a good how to for vanos on the s54.

Yep, a shame the facebook marketplace behavior has shifted across.

Govt Breathes New Life Into "Clean Car" Legislation

Maybe not an outright ban, i reckon a cost prohibitive conditioning exercise... -
Looks like an e12 M535i in the last pic ?

Ended up with a 2012 30D. 1 owner from new (nz new) with 64k.

Saw this car at East Auckland BMW yesterday. It’s pretty mint!
-
You may want to re-consider an older bmw then!

I didn’t notice a change of ride height when i did all the susp late last year. I didn’t replace springs though. There’s factory ride height specs you can look up I think. Maybe sitting a tad higher on the 18”s?
-
Ah this must be the one that featured in a video clip doing limiter bashing skids.
-
Rear subframe bushes done? Worn out in the tourings really let them down.

Bad owners and our hot summers.

When i had my touring i sourced some outer tail lights through ebay uk. The inner tail lights which go yellow and bulge are hard to find in good nick. New they are quite expensive. $600 i think for the pair.

Can’t seem to look past the f25. They certainly drive the best out of all suv’s we’ve test driven. Having driven a few of the n55 examples they’re certainly no slouch and have a nice bark. I’ve lined up a 20d and 30d for this weekend to test drive and will probably make a decision from there. Thanks for all the input!

Should feel amazing afterwards. Especially over dips in the road at higher speeds. Did you go for oem sachs shocks?
