Im sure this was a BMW forum when I joined.

X2.

Very nice.

Chocolate Tail lights for the E30 d*ck Smith Voucher Chopped my finger tip off... so a nice bandage on my right index finger. And a box of Mixed wine.

That is a cool car, it was owned by a drug lord! I saw it at Auckland Concourse a few years back.

The 3.0 legacy with the leather is a nice car. Have been tempted to sell the E30 and buy one a few times, they are a brilliant all rounder.

Fair enough. I can’t sagest anything European that I would buy for the given purpose. Can you sir?

Happy Birthday Mark.

That 330d is so much win, all it needs is a Superchips tune and it would be phenomenal. I would worry about the rear sub frame mounts with 504nm going rearwards, that’s a lot more than an M3 and an M3 breaks them! I like the half leather, reminds me of the E30 318iS.

Because the wife was driving the Audi’s.

Firestone charge about that, $30odd a tyre.. or a box of beer on the sly. They have to make money and im sure $70 for 20minuits work would be quite common in the auto industry these days. Try Renault parts on for size, a lot more expensive than BMW parts.

Green Day was kick ass, would have to be the best concert I have been to in as long as I can remember! Would have made for a goodd Birthday.

Simmons wheels have closed down. Simmons 17" were over 5k ten years ago. I see Arrow wheels have some options, the car preview thing is fun. http://www.arrowwheels.co.nz/wheels/preview.php

Did you try Gavin at Euro Italian, a forum sponsor? Have found his prices quite reasonable.

Jono 51 had one. Look in for sale section.

Good stuff, good to see it out on the track and not on the road! Car is looking nice on the new wheels.

Total BMW November 2009. Its at the bottom of the page.

Its good stuff, I'm using the Next Generation shiz (prob the same as Gold Class but with added $10) at the mo, it has lasted me near a year and thats two cars, tyres, dash interior trims and all. Works a treat. The Steal around the windows I just polish and wax

Price watch. I wouldn't let that front bumper go so cheap mate, I looked for a second hand one for a long time and was happy to pay double what you are asking when I did. They are very hard to find and often people want to sell whole kit or nothing. BMW want near 2k for the two front bumper pieces and associated parts. Give you $700 for the diff

Well done, hope you guys had a good time! The car looks good.

Im keen. I'll use the fault as an indicator I have been gaming for too long.

Nice one Bravo. They are selling them out at nice prices at the moment to make way for the new 5 next year. Lust after the E60.

My uncle has a similar theory that his big car is safe purely because it’s big and can crush Tupperware cars like mine. If say my Renault smashed into your BMW at 100kph it would disintegrate around me, its designed from the ground up to be safe, the passenger cell is like a roll cage in a race car, very hard to penetrate and bend. In a crash a car is best to disintegrate to absorb energy rather than occupants, I’d be happy if my car was completely written off but I had no injuries. Lots of things we don’t think about go into modern cars to make them safe. Wow don’t ya wish you stayed home and joined this conversation instead! Glenn as indeed at the pub.

You had unpaid fines and you are clearly in a capacity to cover them but still you didn’t, you deserve what you get. Had you paid your fines it would have saved the Justice system a lot of time and the tax payers a lot of money.
