  1. There are people on here that pretty much post in every topic. Trolls. 90% of what they have to say has no relavence to the topic. Crack down on these people a little and the problem will settle.
  2. I agree mate. It became a fad a while back.
  3. Ok. Well I am all for keeping the crap out of the forums. I help run another club www.nissansilvia.co.nz (SNZ). Over the last year and a bit we pretty much lost all our long term and helpful more knowledgeable members, due to a huge influx of "Drift" retards and immature kids. It got to the point where there was no postings of value anymore. And when we started cracking down on the idiots they continuously picked fights with the mods and other users. It got to the point where we had to lock our Off Topic and Bitching and Moaning sections. In the end SNZ split. There is now a bunch of people on a private invite only forum, that have created their own copy cat "Ziptied.com" style forum. Which did infact take away some of our better members. Even though it was created by one of the main trouble makers on SNZ. Sigh.. Don't ever let Bimmersport get this way. As for the mods. Make sure you clearly explain your reasons to lock and delete threads etc. This caused huge issues with us.
  4. BBS, AC, Work, SSR, genuine M wheels = YES Advanti, TSW, "Drift" style rims, = NO Talk to Zeniti on the forums. He has some nice replica wheels to suite BMW's. Oh and I am sure the others have already mentioned this. But at that height your shocks will be near bump stops. Once E36 shocks start hitting the stops or bottoming out if you have removed the stops then they die very very quickly. They need to be shortened at that height to still make them function the way they were designed.
  5. Yes don't forget most of NZ's competition drifting is cone based now days. Taupo does not allow drifting very often. Puke has limited the amount of use to near nothing. Gone are the good old days of Kiwi drifting. 02-05. Then came along a few other companies trying to stick their fingers in the pie and nearly ruined it all. I appreciate function over form. But man that ute is so ugly its form makes you look past its function. lol.
  6. I would like one. But with my family's experience. The only good Jet Ski is someone else's Jet Ski. 2 were stolen. 2 were blown up. When I was 14 I hit the sand bar at Cooks Beach while jumping in the surf. Did heaps of flips and sh*t and nearly drowned. Avoid Sand bars. I could not tell how deep it was due to the rolling surf.
  7. I will buy the gas for the flamethrower. That is so FUGLY! Half assed Backyard job.
  8. Necro is so much FAIL. If there is no instruments. It ain't music.
  9. Erron let me rape your one. Promise it will only be a gentle rape. Haha. Hasn't Mo got one?
  10. E30 M3 vs E39 M5 for me. Picked the E30 though. And whoever said the car you pick should be rare! Who cares if it is rare. I would prefer something I can thrash on a daily basis. And something that is rare would sit in your garage all its life.
  11. These are $400inc GST and come with all the gear. Including the waterproof casing and suction cups etc. http://www.buygopro.co.nz/ Proven too. See them often at the race meetings. Also the Laserstar Jammers you are advertising. Are they passive or active. If they are active I could be interested. If they are passive forget it.
  12. Yeah when you have an argument with the Mrs never text your mate saying she is being a bitch and your going to try hook into another chick at the party. Never ends well when you send it to the Mrs. And you think I would have learnt the first time. I no longer like to text.
  13. Seen a filthy Honda Accord with them too. They are the new RICE lights.
  14. I was getting under 10l/100kms in my pfl 325 manual. And on the open road it drops to 7-8ish. My 540 however is more around the 15L/100kms. Due to my heavy foot and impatient driving.
  15. Haha awesome. Just had a read of them all. Txtn can be bad. Have lost two relationships due to misdirected txts.
  16. Sadly I do this whenever I get behind the wheel of my Dad's E55 AMG each time. That supercharger whine on a precision euro beast that makes my 540 feel like a 516 if there was such a thing. I am sure any M car would do this for me also though. Just don't have one.
  17. US info but still relevent in most applications. Changes by model year (US) 1996 The 1997 model year 5 series E39 was introduced into the US market in late 1996. Models available were the 528i with a I6, and the 540i with a M62 V8. 1997 In 1997 the E39 went through minor design changes. The on-board computer, called the Multi-Information System (MID), was upgraded in mid '97. 1998 In 1998 optional rear side airbags became available, and both models also gained BMW's exclusive new Head Protection System, which consists of two tubular bags that inflate upon a side impact and pop out just above each front door. A new Sport Package for the 528i and 540i, as well as an automatic transmission 540i were added options. The Sport Package included black body trim (standard models had chrome around the top of the windows), a sport-tuned suspension, and 17-inch (430 mm) wheels and tires. In September 1998, the 540i's M62B44 was updated to the M62TUB44, adding 15 ft·lbf (20 N·m) of torque. 1998 BMW E39 540i Executive Sport Edition The high-performance M5 sedan returned to the BMW fold. Built in limited numbers, the M5 used a 400 hp (300 kW) V8 S62, and came with a firmer suspension, 18 inch wheels, a 6-speed manual transmission, and exclusive interior trim. Lower-body rear side airbags were standard on the M5, remaining optional for other models. 1999 1999 saw the introduction of the Touring (station wagon) body style and joined sedans in both 6-cylinder and V8 editions. Added options for 1999 were brighter xenon headlights, Park Distance Control that warns of obstacles when backing up, and self-leveling rear suspension for wagons. Standard on V8 models and newly optional for 528i versions was BMW's Dynamic Stability Control, designed to aid control in fast turns. 2000 In 2000, rain-sensing windshield wipers and xenon headlamps became standard on the 540i, and were newly available for 528i models. The "M Sport" package was added (replacing the standard sport package), and included the M Sport steering wheel, door sills, and shift knob. The 528i versions also gained the 540i's standard stability control system. All models now had daytime running lights, and fog lamps. 2001 For the 2001 model year, BMW updated the E39 with newer, clear-lens tail, side marker, and headlights which first displayed the now-popular "angel eyes" (Hella, the OEM, refers to these lights as "CELIS"). Rear tail lights and marker lights were changed to LEDs, while the rear turn signals were changed from yellow lenses to clear. The black trim was now painted to match the body color, and the front bumper now featured rounded fog lights. Internally many changes were made to electronics; items such as window regulators and the air conditioning were updated. The 528i was replaced by the 530i which had a new 168 kW (225 hp) M54B30 3.0 L inline-6. A new entry-level 525i was introduced featuring a 137 kW (184 hp) M54B25 2.5 L I6 and a slightly cheaper price. The available navigation system was changed to a wide screen version. 2002 Updated E39 sedan (US) In 2002, BMW Steptronic-equipped E39s had their manual shift direction switched to match BMW's SMG. Also, in 2002 the 540i V8 32V engine power was increased from 210 kw (282 hp) to 216 kw (290 hp) and 310 to 325 ft·lbf (441 N·m). All models got a standard in-dash CD player, 6-cylinder models added a standard power passenger seat, and the 525i received automatic climate control standard. Consumer Reports declared the 2002 BMW E39 the best car they had ever reviewed. 2003 2003 marked the last year for the E39 platform; they were differentiated by the addition of extra chrome trim on the trunk (boot) and on the sides of the body. In all 6-cylinder model 5-Series add a standard sunroof. The optional navigation systems upgraded from CD-ROM format (8 CDs to cover the entire USA and Canada) to single DVD-ROM. The optional sport package on the 540i carried parts from M-technic. This included a full M-tech ground effects, M-tech II suspension, 18 inch wheels, and a variety of M badging. The 2003 540 M-Sport is the highest overall performance BMW ever made with an automatic transmission as it had the same 4.4 liter M62 V8 as the 740i, 740Li, but in the smaller body. The E39 wagon (touring / estate) was continued into the 2004 model year until the touring version of the new E60 5 Series was released.

    Water jet pack

    Pfft the Japs do it better. A foot pump and some water bottles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK01QH2A0HA
  20. Agree with bimmer77. Singapore cars are usually in very very good condition as they don't allow the rough cars to drive around. It is the electrics that have the problems. Whoever has owned it in NZ is the one who has neglected it. Which is typical.
  21. Get the plate LVTOFU Old people will think you Love Tofu. And young people will think you Love to F#$% It is available too.
  22. They have been around a while too. Remember going to them when they only had one shop in Cannon Place. Over 10 years ago.
  23. I download TV shows. And a crapload of them. Yes I could watch them on TV. But they have Advertisements every 5 mins which drives me insane. And the fact that I do not get Prime here and donut have sky, and I would like to watch the current season of a show the same year it is released. And not at some obscure time. I downloaded the Hamilton V8's race with no Adds. I download the F1 and Touring car races with no adds. I download HI-Def shows that are only normal quality here in NZ. A 720p 40 min show in AVI is around 600-800mb. That is why I use so much bandwidth. Of course I know about the Restrictions. These restrictions are for shitty Torrents and between certain hours. I only download between about 1:00am and 3:00pm. At around 600+kbps. But when this drops to less than 100kbps I ask questions as to why. It speed up by itself again so I presume they were having more problems.
