  1. lol sh*t Brad from NFC? I dont think I can come up with anything quite as close as this lol...
  2. You got the white one off trademe cheap because it was missing a gearbox or something?
  3. really? Ill go and have a look now...but thats only for the sides...the front and rear are still grey~
  4. What kind of way were you actually driving it like? where you also down shifting constantly? How did you know it was overheating?
  5. I usually cruise at 2nd gear which gives me about 3000RPM just over 50Km/h...so I still have some room to boost up to 5500RPM before I change to 3rd gear by which then I would be about 80Km/h I dont really change the gear that much...usually on sport shift and second gear...it holds 1st gear to max then changing to second...worked well as sport shift also shifted down on higher RPMs... Its good when I sense a yellow light coming....BANG on the yellow light is on, switch from D to 2nd gear, boost it...the engine sound is just...aww too sensational!
  6. We might also need to buy a few rockets so we can blow up other Mclaren F1s so the value of our one will rise, which recreates even more demand so when we sell it, we all make a profit out of it...
  7. No of cause not...Had a long thought....Lets say if I had totally smashed the front and required new body kits...I might as well get a M Kit and get it done there...but theres nothing major...so yea...
  8. Yes indeed...great service but its really not the type of panel beaters for a high school student lol
  9. wow...sh*t that looks nasty...contact Ray aka HELLBM...I doubt he would have much 5 series stuff but its worth a try...great guy too... Or contact BMW original parts Dont know where you are in NZ but if you are on the Shore...they are at Glenfield....Im sure they will have stock there but they are quite expensive...
  10. My mate just emailed him requesting a drag competition before he decides if he wants to purchase it or not...I bet this guys just got spammed the sh*t out of him... One of the photo did show JC BMW...maybe Ryan can give us some inside story as to where this piece of motoring history came from...it was a Import...I suspect from SG or JP~
  11. hahaha...thats Gus...no question...
  12. hey Brad...nice car mate...Just wondering if you are the Brad who works for a company in Newmarket? I know a Brad who also drive a purple Legum with some decent modifications....but have lost contact with him...at one stage he had 2 of them...
  13. Who drives a dark blue/black E30 with www.BimmerSport.co.nz sticker stuck at the top of the back windscreen? What was distictive with this car was the fact that the indicators were red instead of yellow...Looked in pretty good condition...Looked like a blonde female drive inside heading from North Shore to Auckland City...on Sunday morning?
  14. Thats what Ive been doing...so far its been alright...on D is drives just as fine as before...I do find it quite useful at times...far more effective than the Sport Switch...
  15. On my Auto E36 there is the usual P R N D 3- holds to a maximum of 3rd gear 2- holds to a maximum of 2nd gear 1 -holds at 1st gear Can you drive it like a tiptronic by switching between 1, 2 and 3 gears? If I do...would I damage the transmission system? Quite unsure about his dont know if anyone can enlighten me on this...
  16. Right...that made me feel better lol... Got my quote from: http://www.precisionautowerk.co.nz/ Went to get the quote today...service was very good...looked professional and the the lobby was better than you average hotel...lol I mean who would put an antique Porsche Speedster as the centre piece? The client manager did say "we can have coffee in the lobby while you wait..." I suppose thats the kind of service you get when you pay that price? lol
  17. Jesus...got quoted 1K for mine done... I it was 1K because I was looking at 300 for front and 300 for rear and 300 for sides and then 100 for taking them off the car to be painted then fitted again... Did I just get a ripped quote? Or is that how they do things in North Shore?
  18. Take is a very good point...note take...
  19. De-badged does look like the deal at times...but you gotta know...you still drive a 318i....I was going to do mine too...but gives a sh*t...doesnt matter what BMW it is...its still a legedary BMW...I like to think that my BimmerSport sticker compensates the 318i badge
  20. You know those plastic lining around the doors? Looking for right front and right rear...Cheers~
  21. Count me in too...+ a rear M kit too thanks
  22. aww man~ just what I wanted...but too big for me...lol nice CSL
  23. its got one hell of a brake...look at those massive clippers!
  24. Canon 400D is cheaper than the 40D...if you didnt know...I guess its just a typerror... I like to believe the changes are so minimal you wont be able to tell the photos apart...at times I also like to think of it as marketing gimmicks to attract buyers like you into a 40D which might be a bit over the top for some users...but not realising that they have bought something which they dont fully utilise. DigicIII is attractive feature for many as this is the very same processing chip used on the Canon 1Ds MarkIII which is Canon's top of the line Full Frame dSLR. Increase FPS is good if you are looking to take down some sports or action packed shots. With my Nikon D40X, I find the 3FPS enough to cover some of my nature shots of birds...and some sports...once again, it all boils down to if you really need someone of such high FPS or now...By the way, burst shooting FPS is also dependant on the memory card...how fast it buffers and writes etc, so its not just the side of the camera business but what ever FPS stated is the maximum speed for that camera. Ill recommend you use the standard flash for now...if you find it lacking, then purchase additional flash...if you dont...then you save a few more bucks...
