Subaru's will always be on that list, our house got burgled 4 years ago, they were after the 04 V9 STI in the garage, which had no exhaust on it... it was alarmed in the garage sitting next to the boat, with the house alarm set.. and Anton got home after work at 1am, to our front door wide open, TV, PS3, Surround sound, Sky decoder, Car & Boat all gone, plus they went through all our drawers to find the keys for the subi, which were in Anton's pocket..

We had a 01 STI which we sold to a friend, and that got stolen from Sandringham.

The same friend then purchased a subaru legacy GTB (99) and that got stolen, then the lil buggars went to do a burglary and got busted in it... he ended up with the car back.

Anton also had a 98 Forester stolen from Mt Eden area....

We have had a huge long list of BMW's not one of them have been touched

Ha!

Just a CSI with go fast bits attached an an excessivly expensive M8 badge.

Some VIP here in NZ had an M8 badge made for him, something like $200 for the custom badge to go on his CSI.

Better than average! Interior is MINT.

Ha that'll make it harder for him.

Nothing like that Clinton. E85 is putting its own noise into the cabin, F10 is using artificial noise.

Gearbox failure, more than likely a software fault than a mechanical one.

Interesting comments...

Each model is always going to be better than the previous otherwise BMW may as well shut the doors.

Everyone has their own opinions on what they like better and prefer to drive, it's what we do. I love the savageness of the E60 and weirdly enough to me it seems more raw than the E39.

Oh and who said the F10 was boring....f**k sakes!

If Mark doesn't buy the charger off you i'll be pissed. I'm working on him.

We have 3 hospitals in HB that are all abandend, one of which will be turned into apartments this year.

They are very spooky. I'd love to explore them!

Same as the BMW Mini BOV is plumbed into firewall.

No it didn't help in this instance. I've seen it work 100% on a touring car however.

Yep, seen race cars that have caught fire around engine area and that's the best thing to do, keep cranking to suck flames.

I like the Z4s. The 3.0 manual goes like a shower of sh*t, no need for transplant with that M54. We have bugger all known issues with the 85s, fair few around our area too.

Will sell easier with price rethought also.

T piece failed due to oil temp sensor right next to pressure sensor. New plan is to run stainless hose to remote location.

You can, the cover price will justify not buing the car though.

Wofs dont cover mechanical items. The insurer needs to know the car is mechanically sound before they will put cover on it.

Yep, cheap in the long run.

No i don't thrash from cold, anyone with half a brain knows not to do this.

As above, any genuine M car is going to get thrashed, they were built to be abused.

Mine gets thrashed at every chance I get be it track or back country roads, both I and the car love it.

Do water pump as well if you're going to that extent.

The M3 radiator seems to last longer than the others. I've only replaced one, the top hose broke off. That car had done 220km.

BMW coolant should be used. Bout $18 per 1.5L.

Andy, boomrock is X5 HQ, that's where all the testing is done and BMW offroad drive days.

Right got a t piece in the making.
