Thought this may have been a thread about the new PSA/BMW Mini. That V12 Pug sounds amazing.

Good stuff 94! Must have been a run out model! Are you going to Tech 2 it?

Nothing wrong with Takanini was just using it as a random place. I just have this preconception of the type of people that drive E46 verts. That is an impressive list of cars, he doubles up a few times. Wouldn’t it be nice to say one in red and one in silver to the dealer when asked about what colour you want

Is that a trade-me question or are you actually going to vote for them?

You would be surprised, two guy’s that I know are doing it are on good money with respectable jobs, its not just illiterate monkeys doing it.

300,000 is quite a few! Would have voted E30 M3 but after driving a tame V8 BMW I can only imagine how the new M3 would go. My vote would be for a M3 Touring, Silver, 19†wheels.

Didn’t see it, was at the Bimmersport meet. Im sure it was very amusing though, I just love the way the media are portraying South Auckland at the moment, showing these turds on TV only promotes the lifestyle and makes them famous/notorious amounts there pairs. Good one. Living in Papakura I have noticed people have started acting stauncher, it’s not going to be long before we as residents become very vidual anti with weapons ala Bruce Emery.

I was followed from Mt Wellington to Papakura last night by some aggressive native in a Honda Integra after giving him some high beam Xenon goodness to encourage him to speed up from 90kph or move out of the passing lane, he then decided that I was somehow an arshole for trying to do the speed limit on the motor way and swerved beeped and high beamed me the whole way.. Didn’t bother me, dipped the mirror, set the cruise and turned up the stereo. This being a public forum I won’t mention how I eventually lost him. I try to drive along at 110kph locked into the cruise control and am constantly having to click on and off due to people treating the motorway as two lane free way. The “fast†lane is for passing, if you’re not passing stay out of it.

Maybe his neighbours live in Takanini and are going through a mid life crises in which case a E46 rag top is more believable.

Sorry yea, I read it too fast and got the wrong end of the stick. The BMW driver does indeed sound nuts, more evidence that people shouldn’t drive when they are trying to quit smoking. I have lost it a few times when people pull into the fast lane but have never tried to run them off the road.

I kind of admire the BMW driver. If you’re not passing don’t use the passing lane. Simple one would have thought.

A NZ new 325i would have had leather (and more) standard, you could always trade up

(Looks at your front bumper and reframes from commenting) Maybe I don’t get out enough. Im in a European car club and out of say 6 Audi’s only one is silver.

The leather itself is reasonably expensive and there is a lot of work involved in re-trimming a car, I have had a bit to do with the process and can assure you it is time consuming. The likes of Retro can be cheaper if you go with low grade leather and they have the patterns for your car already. I would give them a call and find out. Keep in mind a factory upgrade to leather is well over 5k.

Retro vehicle enhancements do a fantastic job, dealers use them to re-trim new cars for customers. A mate of mine brought a new Ford with leather and sent it back to be redone by retro as the factory stuff was crap. Allow for $3,000-5,000 though. If you’re out south and want a cheaper job I can recommend South Auckland Upholsterer’s in Papakura.

Yea and drifting replaced it. Audio companies do demo cars. This is a demo car.

Silver rocks. I dont see that many silver Audi's.

My car has made that smell since new.. Are you sure there is a problem? You could always look at a sport-catalytic converter also.

That guy is a retard. It’s a fricken stock 525i with silly stickers. Im thinking the German guy was a mountain climber and was mealy trying to fetch a lift to the alpine. Points at car, Alpine??

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

No sh*t, the engine couldn’t even spin that sucker! I’d say it’s off a agricultural or heavy vehicle and they have put it on there for a laugh, it doesn’t even come close to lining up. Looks cool none the less.

Now if only our 'dollar a day' went towards clothing like that..

Sweet as, sounds like your seat is beyond repair. I was meaning get a rear seat that matches and strip it and cut it up to make new panels for the front.

The DVD is about $700 and im sure they don’t work on Japanese imports as the system is different. Good luck.
