I didn't know this was a thing. My car is loud all the time even at idle. I see that bimmertools can control it. Might see if it still works. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=UD52-EUR-07-2007-E87N-BMW-130i&diagId=18_0667 Also something I have not changed on this car is the fuel filter. Is it located under the car like an E46 or is it part of the float assembly?

Welcome. There is plenty of help available on the forum. BMW's are not too expensive to run in NZ. Most of us import parts from places like FCPeuro or ECMTuning which have excellent prices. There are a number of other great suppliers too. Keep a look out for any group buys to save on shipping. I had a E46 325ci in the US a few years back. Great car. Easy to work on.

I would drive a modernised 2002 EV. I liked that Honda E. But I am not paying $65k for one. A BMW however.

Heard quite a few good things about them. Couple of people on here own there. Promo (Pramod) is a user based in Wellington who can help with all programming needs.

If that information was shared without your knowledge then that's an easy lawsuit win. The only person who would likely sign this information away would be the first owner. Where a contract with the manufacturer would be signed.

Has this been posted? Seats and Plate are prob worth a little. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/214590167208065/

Yeah they are going to urgently need to change the liability laws to cover this sort of thing.

GT86/BRZ rear lights are a bit meh.

Appealing to those who don't care about what the CCP are doing around the world. Which to be fair is most.

You don;t need extra range. After the first drive you are just going to leave it where it runs out of juice anyway. The CCP thanks you for your support. An article will be written about how you think your MG is far superior to your Maserati and BMW.

I have a misfire again. Oddly INPA brings up a bunch of codes but ISTA+ brings up nothing. Something is wrong with ISTA I think. Everything functions fine but it never finds any codes. I know for sure my FRM module has two. INPA sees this. Got to be my install. Bimmergeeks tool picked them all up. But not right away. Nothing of interest to do with a miss though. Will Data log and try and capture it.

Was it on here? or somewhere else I read that a group monitoring the price of 2nd hand EV's is already seeing an increase.

I just can't see this going anywhere. Scaring people into shitty 2nd hand short life electric vehicles will only drive up the price of the already limited and poor quality imports. I'm betting Japan can't wait to dump all the old crap on us. I was interested in the new Honda E. But pretty average range and they are $64k for an ex demo.... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/honda/other/listing/3079178330?bof=Didrf8jt Hmm I wonder if you can fudge the battery life details via programming.

Is it just me or does anyone else not like Carwow videos? All they seem to do is drag races. Zero care for drag racing.

Hold onto the bits. You will make some good money someday without all the effort of E30ing.

Thought they were convincing you into a boxter for a moment there. Enjoy. I wish I had purchased @GorGasm's one after driving it.

Yeah DC didn't have a WOF system. Just an emissions check. There were plenty of holes in it but it was very effective in keeping old cars that were not classed as a classic off the road. See an old car in DC and it is no doubt from Maryland or at least registered there. My E46 only passed because I had cleared all codes before I went in for my check. The guy said I couldn't do that and needed at least 48hours worth of driving after a "Clear". But then just passed me anyway for some reason. Wasn't going to question him. I wonder what it would do to a place like the Wairarapa. I would say a good half of the vehicles are old utes/4wds that wouldn't have a sh*t show of passing any emissions test seen around the world.

It would mean the end to performance mods.

Scrappage Scheme. Did not go so well in the US.

Isn't this just normal for E34's lol. Both of mine do it. Only the drivers (RHD) blade. Also have you tried Wipertech blades yet? If they are crap they will give your money back. Scratch that.... Further blade convo from a few years back.

Yes. They were good because they were cheap.

So pretty much exactly what I just said... The reason we still have the 200sx over the 135i.

Yup they are way up in the not worth it at all category for me now. A stock 08 135i would thrash the pants off nearly every 90's jap performance car. The wife knows that. And really wants one. But the 200sx was her first love. Hard to let go.

AA has been quite receptive. They were a bit weary that I wanted to up the insurance on our 200sx to 25K. But came back to me the same day and said it was fine. Now I have to ring them a year later and ask them to up it again haha. They must be aware of it now though. I upped the value on all my cars. Even the cheap ones like my Daihatsu Rocky. It's a $3000 car. But I couldn't replace it for less than $8000 now.

Like this Dirty D. Shame it doesn't have the brown interior though. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/640d/new-listing/3084337609?bof=wO2N3YhA
