If these new BMWs are reliable I'm calling that unfair on the classic BMW owners like us.

Yeah Colinfurze did it a while back. And a go-kart And because some of you are old, but still like speed.

Its just such a huge step away from what we all thought was BMW. Slap a Hyundai badge on it and it would never have been discussed here.

Hmmm. I would like this. But some wreckers are paying stupid money for this stuff.

It nearly always ends up not being perfect. Which will be why the pro's don't do it. A few of my old Nissans ended up having ripply guards when I went a bit to far. Good results took hours per guard and often burnt fingers from the heat gun. Most rollers you can buy are designed to only roll the edge up a little. Not flat. Flat requires panel beating and will nearly always crack the paint. You must have a good heat gun and roll in very small increments. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/tools-repair-kits/repair-kits/listing/3575928793?bof=c6jO98Ug Recently I became old and look back at these sort of issues and just nope out and buy something that fits.

Yeah filled the 130 today. Diesel was more expensive than petrol at Caltex over the road from the Waitomo I was at where it was 25c/l cheaper.

Yup. Challenge in Greytown yesterday. 46.31litres $113.41 $2.449/l Wairarapa is usually cheaper than Wellington. Greytown and Martinborough are priced to catch Wellingtonians and the cashed up boo..retirees. On another note. Has anyone been told off for stockpiling RUC at the discounted price yet?

Any radiator hose that has a plastic connector.... That is all of them. Especially the inlet on the front of the head. An upgrade is available via FCP.

Wow not even detachable.

New S is superior imo. The new 7 is just a sad looking new Rolls.

The resurgence of Caravans. Burn them all. NZ desperately needs to introduce a towing license similar to the UK. The Hyundai SUV with 2 adults, 3 kids, a full boot, 5 bikes on a flimsy bike rack, towing a shittyly restored early 80s wheeled chode of a caravan that has had all the rest of the luggage stored at the very back is quite bloody scary to follow. Especially when you realise the driver has probably never towed anything other than a rental trailer from his local gas station to move some cuttings of which he took 10 mins trying to back up his drive and took the downpipe drain off the side of his garage.

All depends on what you want to bring in. Classic or modern. Add another 3k on top for the recently introduced "you're not buying a half dead Nissan Leaf" tax. The auctions are still a huge risk if you are buying blind. But they are much better than they were 10 years ago. Best to go via an agent that will take on some of the liability.

I watched one sell for around 40k a month or so back. White one that was well specd with 30k less kms than the one posted. It also sat for sale for quite a while.

Just kidding. It's the new BMW 7 Series. Hoping it's just a bad render. But not looking likely.

Can do if you want. Will try and get around there tomorrow.

He lives around the corner from me. They are all rooted. There is also a small BMW wrecker just around from me. Lots of E30's in various states. Owner must be an E30millionaire.

Ha. Times have changed. I would have purposely taken my M325i out for a thrash in the bad weather.

NZ was never a lovely safe haven. Ive got dozens of friends and family that have had multiple cars stolen. Some even at knife point. Just do your best to protect your vehicle. Never park in a Wilson's. Have a way to track it. Hope you get it back. Sadly my Wife can't park her 200sx anywhere without attracting the wrong people. So we rarely take it anywhere where it would be parked out of sight.

I wonder what carplay integration that is? Edit: Prob this. Way too expensive to still have the crap factory screen. https://integratedautomotive.co.uk/product/retrofit-carplay-android-auto-bmw-1-series-e8x/

This is apparently a thing now. Thought it had stopped in the early 2000s. This was in Paris, France. Happened twice to this guy apparently. 6 month wait for parts.

Just the new Remurewa tractor. The charge time without 3 phase is a laugh. Its also $220,000 NZD in this vid. So I guess the power bill won't be of concern. I can imagine the NZ version will have a significant mark up too. At 2.5+ ton I hope it is charged a decent amount of RUC. Its like the anti enthusiast vehicle. The bonnet doesn't even open....

Even if it only partially supports the E46 it will still be better than Carly. Had great fun with it.

I thought it wasn't too bad in black where you can't see any of the broken lines. Then I found out the bonnet doesn't open. And it's 110ish thousand GBP. Oh forgot to say. On the big battery with single phase power. 54hour charge time from 0 to 100. Should be a little less in NZ. But not much less.
