41 ...yawn... what a scam

I've bought and sold cars through Turners and have always been happy with the outcome. Do remember that there are often additional costs to consider over and above the price at the fall of the hammer. E.g. On road costs for new imports etc.

Also I'd never own a 520.. You need 6 cylinders minimum! If you want fuel economy buy a smart car

Good luck with the sale. Looking forward to some pics of your ride with the new wheels!

Look really nice. Excellent refurb. What did it cost if you don't mind me asking? I'm considering getting my PG2s done at some stage.

I'd like to buy that man a beer.

+1

The guy should take donations to pay his court costs and fines etc. as no doubt he'll be charged.

I will be very interested to see how well your wheels come up and what they cost to fix. My PG2s are in pretty good nick but I'd consider getting them refurbished at some stage in the future.

I'm hoping to make my E39 a little different from the pack with some more Hamann mods similar to the path you seem to be taking with your touring. I would also be interested in where you have purchased your Hamann mods so far and your Brembo BBK if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Keen for the Hamann pedel kit and pricing on the other parts as listed in my previous post.

Cheers.

Ok had a look at what I'm interested in and I'd like to know pricing on the following for a E39 motorsport if you can get them please?:

Hamann Rear boot spoiler (see pic 2 below)

Hamann Rear window spoiler (see pic 2 below)

Hamann Front spoiler (see pic 1 below)

Hamann Fog light incerts (see pic 1 below)

Hamann pedels (auto + dead pedel)

Anything else you might think I could be interested in.

Many thanks.

Cheers.

Oh dear!

Along the lines of "delusional owners" here's a Hartge tuned 325i... that is "like alpina but better. hartge has done a great job with mags , suppension , exhaust and kit."

Yeah.... all I see is some wheels buddy.

Oh, and to the "Alpina" owner's credit.... he didn't say what the German was an enthusiast of!

What's up whith this guy? He's needs to get his story straight!

Quote 1: "selling up- as i have a new job in Auzzie starting in 3weeks"

Quote 2: "Selling as I've been given a van from my new job."

Quote 3: "Owner leaving to study overseas."

This is enough to make me steer well clear for a starter.

I don't have any specific parts in mind but would like to perhaps do some more Hamann mods to match my PG2s. Can you source any Hamann parts?

Hi Are you getting any E39 parts?

I think you should go for Hamann PG2s or PG3s to match your other mods and show off those brembos.

Jochen. Does the USB connector work with your Navcoder software?

Cheers

Darren.

I'd be keen for a connector too if someones looking to make a bunch up.

Very nice mate. I'll have to come around and see them in the flesh. Cheers.

Ok final update on this thread.

I used Autoparts Express to ship the wheels (thanks Brent). They cost 20+GST per wheel making a total of $90 for the 4 from Auckland to Wellington. Great value.

It took a couple of calls to get things sorted with them and they only ship from business to business (no private addresses).

Thanks all for the suggestions. Much appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks for your replys Will make some calls and see how I get on.

BTW These are not Brent's.

Cheers.

Oooooh what are they ?

Any carrier should be able to do it. I got my Alpinas down here for 50 notes I seem to remember. The seller packed the up for me and stuck them on a pallet.

I'd be stoked with anything under $200 actually. Do you remember who you got to do it?

The wheels are 19" Hamann PG2s

Hi all

I'm in the process of purchasing some wheels & tires off a guy in Auckland and was wondering if anyone had shopped around as to the best price and service for getting large parts shipped around the country (to Wellingotn in this case). This will need to include any packaging etc. required at the AKLD end to protect them.

Thanks.

LOL make that a Jap IMPORT.... sausage fingers

I've always liked the Idea of putting euro plates on my car but because it's a Jap inport the space on the boot is too small for the plate. I've just been cruising the listings on TardMe and saw the following:

check out pic # 3.

Is this legal? Also I'm not sure if I like that mini rear plate. What do you think?

Cheers

Darren.

Nice ride Simmy. I'm looking forward to the after pics.

Hi Jochen

Photos as per my pm.

Cheers

Darren.

Correction on my previous post. That was $1100 for 3 years not 2!

Hi Martyn

Nice new ride. You'll be pleased to get your touring at last. Welcome to the E39 club . I figure this can only be a good move for me as you'll become even more of an expert in E39's!

I have a mechanical warranty with http://janssenholdings.co.nz/. They have always paid out but insisted the part be shipped to Auckland before they agreed to replace it last time. Vijay dealt with them and said they seemed ok. Cost was about $1100 for 2 years with a service required annually to satisfy their conditions and I think $100 excess.

Cheers

Darren.
