Your selection should be good Kyu

E46 330i, stock M-sport suspension as best as I can tell, running 225/245 can bang it into almost anything and it just goes round (not right round), gets the tick from me.

E34 540 235/235, on 17" rims great can chuck it at anything and it sticks, its a little low and the sway bars made the biggest difference, great for the roads we have. When it had the 18" M-pars (can't recall the tyre size) it didn't handle well, plenty of lateral grip but it tracked around like a dog on a sent, you had to wrestle it into line.

The 18" setup was crap on the road, to little tyre wall and IMO not well matched to the chassis with the suspension set up that was there, different setup who knows may well have been better.

Well that's a f**k up if I ever saw one!

Would like to see some footage of the E34 540i he campaigned in the '90's, think its the one sitting in the background?

Moved her 2.5m sideways on Go-Jacks. really should drive it more........

The 540 is $138 for 12 months :-)

I have a "tile" on my keys as does my wife, I've not needed mine yet but we regularly use her's to locate keys.

Works of both our ph's so win, especially when our youngest needs the keys to start "her" car....

Crappy old (7+ years) Sunbeam I think?

But it makes ok shots when driven by my wife and hell I an't complaining to a coffee in bed every morning!

By "ok" I mean I've paid for worse frequently.

Thanks to the dumb F*^k tard telco contractor that busted the SW connection pipes to the building and buried the damage.

Flooding through out the building as the rain water had nowhere to go $$$$.

Half my w/end up on roofs, chasing plumbers and cleaners who'd rather be at home with families and friends. Hats off to the tradies and cleaners that worked Sunday and Monday

For the right $$ I'd part with mine.

Wrong

Its Otahuhu, close but not quite. Otahuhu has its own driving rules based on the prinicpals of driving as slow as possible with minimal acceleration so that when you stop suddenly to perform a random 48 point turn in peak traffic the person behind will hit you at a slower speed. Safer for everyone really...

Thought it was so the bucket of KFC wouldn't fall off its precarious perch in the dash of the Toyota Enima / Nissan Elgrand / Honda Odessy, spilling the over sized Pepsi Max into the lap of the marine mammal wedged between the steering wheel and the tail gate, whose trying to text while choking on a chicken wing.......

Shouldn't make any difference,

Chevron NZ supply all Caltex, Challenge and Farmlands outlets.

BP do GAS Alley.

Mobil do Waitomo Oil, North Fuel and South Fuel.

Z purchase on the open market now they are released from the Royal Dutch Shell umbrella.

Gull are independent but linked with Australian refineries (ethanol blending).

Though if you've ever been to a bulk fuel facility you'll notice all brands load from the same tanker terminal (ship) and it has always been rumored that the tank farms are linked.

A significant volume of NZ fuel is processed at Marsden Point, around 75% of our diesel and half our petrol. Its share holders include Mobil, Shell, Chevron and BP. Its nearly all piped to Wiri and distributed from there.

Brand cross-contamination almost guaranteed.

Sorry to hear Amber.

Good luck in whatever option you pursue on repair/replacement.

Works with steering wheel in E46.

Yes please.

316K on mine and still goes well, had obviously been serviced and looked after by previous owners.

So definitely capable of doing high kms without issue.

That is a beautiful thing.

Had a look over it the other day along with its hot twin.

Dark Blue 1 Series (no badge) on SH1 around Karaka area, quad pipes sounds angry. Anyone on here?

Awesome, are they filming things in NZ again?

Definitely look like it.

I'm sure that home is the 'II Viaggio' on the Shotover won best home over 300sq meters last year.

Summed up rather nicely :-)

Maybe a 2 speed fan controlled by the switches? Not sure how temp would work?

Not keen on the multi-function wheel a bit "new" for the E34 for me.

With those massive rims and some flares you may need to cage it, force feed it and put it on a severe diet, then you won't need the aircon

SH1 (South) near slippery creek.

MT 308 on SH1 Drury area yesterday morning Ferrari GT4 308 1975?

Having enough money to have a BMW weekend/project car.

Having my kids run out to meet me when I get home.

A good Sunday roast.

A long weekend starting in a hand full of hours.

Beer

And being self employed so I can stuff around on here when ever I want.
