Maybe the towbar is for towing the generator you need to go further than 130Km, that makes it a hybrid!

None at all sorry, I think jaycar may also have some 8 ohm stuff, not sure on what sizes they have though. -

I will use my low tech battery ev for now, if and when the tech/ infrastructure becomes financially viable I will look at converting it to a fuel cell ev, it could be an interesting project but I'm not holding my breath!!

Removes the electric gubbins and lets you run a standard thermostat, I think there are about 3 different temp thermostats that fit the adaptor.

How many in NZ, where I live?

it's a pointless argument at this stage, you can buy an electric car and use it now, you can't buy a hydrogen car at the moment and use it.

Someone got carried away with M Stripes

To be fair, BMW started it. My M5 has 20 ///M emblems all fitted by BMW, the logical next step is to just turn the entire car into an ///M badge! -

Average on fuelly.com Is 9.6 L/100km. A couple of them have been repowered though!

If a $5k repair bill scares you, an e60 M5 Is possibly not for you!
-
Exact same part front and rear on the touring, not sure about sedan, even the parts guy at Continental was surprised!
-
pulled the side repeaters off the M5, cleaned, polished, UV sealed and replaced. One more job ticked off on the list.
-
the colours were badly faded and the chrome had a few scratches in it, one of the roundels was badly stone chipped, it was on the back but i suspect someone had swapped the front and rears because the front was not too bad. I used crc paint doctor to remove the worst of the outline / scratches but didn't bother with a full machine polish as i would have to do the whole tailgate to make it look right.
-
Dental floss for the win! It took the old badge off, my thumbnail took off the rest of the foam tape, a bit of meths took care of the glue residue, then a clean and a quick polish before putting new badge on...homemade template to line up badge made with cling film, knead it, and a stick! old badge removed... cleaned and polished... new badge in template... and fitted to car. Result.

I have a cunning plan for getting It In the correct position, and since I have $300+ worth of new badges I should probably use them!!
-
So, santa brought me a set of new badges for the M5, does anyone have a sure fire way of removing the old M5 badge without royally stuffing the paintwork? I would like to give it a good clean and polish before I stick the new ones on but would rather not have to re-spray the tailgate! TIA.
-
You could, but why would you?
-
And think of all the carbons I have neutralised!! But, $400 saved in 2 months is why i got it....
-
I find it a bit strange that when I got my M5 nobody mentioned its lifecycle co2 emissions, but when I told people I was getting a leaf its all I heard about.
