    Quick rant thread.

    Yup FedEx in Auckland is stuffed. Lots of work things stuck there for weeks. 2 days from the US. 3 weeks sitting in Auckland....

    Quick rant thread.

    The state of semiautomated accounts for services. Signing up to new services for my new house. Power company. Stuffed up and has created two separate accounts. One for Gas. One for Power. Can't log into either as both don't exist. But the bills arrived... Internet company. Created account. Went to add services and found that the account number and phone number they just emailed me don't match... They are in the same email of which was sent to me via a request from their sign in system..

    Little loss of traction on the loose chip usually gets them to back off.

    Well it's time to dump stones on the road again. And guess what. I lost another windscreen. It's becoming a joke. Zero effort and money being put into repairs.
  5. What I would do instead of sucking it up. Contact the 2nd bidder and take a small loss if they are interested. Thing is already a money pit before you have even driven it.
  6. Seems all dependant on the shipping price at the moment. Been trying to get some suspension in from Aussie for my Rocky. All of a sudden they wont send shocks via air freight.
  7. Ah it probably looks much worse than in that photo at the moment. Poor thing is green and brown. She's a real commuter. About to order new brakes. Rotors and pads. Probably from ECS or FCP. Might grab the waterpump at the same time.
  8. I think I am done with Trademe.
  9. I like the 255/35s on the back. Cars gravel driveway with sheep sh*t dirty sorry.
  10. Nice. I fit 255/35 an 225/40 on my 269s. Tried 235/40 on the front but they looked weird.
  11. Low mileage. Because they were so sh*t nobody wanted to drive it.
  12. I was thinking about creating a Bimmersport award for Masochist of the year.
  13. What about the BMW powered Daihatsu Rocky's? Named a Bertone Freeclimber and FreeClimber 2. https://www.drivingline.com/articles/bertone-freeclimber-was-bmws-first-suv-by-way-of-japan/ https://www.motor1.com/news/228017/bertone-freeclimber-for-sale/ Rarer. And no doubt just as rusty. Maybe I should just throw one of my BMW motors in my Rocky. Would be on the only one in NZ. AKA Daihatsu Rugger Daihatsu Rocky Daihatsu Fourtrak Daihatsu Taft Toyota Blizzard Bertone Freeclimber 2 And that's just the bigger one.
  14. Wait. You're choosing the E30 over this? This E46 is unique and beautiful.
  15. Another you could try is Kerry from Mosens in Hamilton. He ran an E46 with M60's in the BMW Race series for a number of years. It was a GTR replica as such.
  16. A good E34 while you can. Or an E87 for some fun.
  17. One sold two weeks ago for $6k. Needed work but prob no more than your average E30 junk selling for $12K. The one that was listed for over $30K was immaculate. Every component was new or refurbished. Most other people I have spoken to got their 535is for less than 10K. However they are rare. Didn't exist outside of the UK, AUS, NZ and SA. IMO they are the best balanced E34 other than the M5. I still hate the steering box though. Yuck.
  18. Yup I have the LK03's on my 130i now. They have been great on the crappy Wairarapa roads. Especially over the hill to Welly. Rain or shine. Very happy with them.
  19. I agree. However if you are ordering from FCP just grab the coolant at the same time. Unless they are now charging a lot more for it now. It was $5 extra last time I got it. Saves having to go to supercheap.
  20. @BM WORLD might be able to help. Otherwise there are plenty in the US. However people are after them now due to the whole adapter thing. Fit in pretty much any car.
  21. Having owned a couple of M325i's I would take the E28 over one any day. Superior vehicle. Nearly as good as the E34.
