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

Here is an Audi with all the bells and whistles. And an interior from the base model A4 with what looks like leather seat covers (I know they are not)....

I prefer the 4 door Gran Coupe for some reason. But I would also take this.

haha. I admit I have done something similar while towing my E30 Series car behind the old mans E55 AMG. Goodbye crap V8 Holden.

He will be selling it on behalf I would say. Last time I ran into this car he was driving it.

It's a while away. But early next year I will keep eyes open for another one.

I would love it. Having a mint example to go alongside my other 535is would be great. I can't exactly drive the other one around on the street. And the 525td is not really comparable other than being an E34. I have seen it up close a few times down here. Very nice car.

This is quite a nice example. Would also take one of these over an E30 any day of the week. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3147659244?tm=email&et=45&mt=79F4475F-6C8D-4859-8EC2-79132A4FA124&bof=YSbSTjo4
