    Quick Questions

    My car has all of a sudden started stalling out as if its running out of petrol, any suggestions as to what this could be. I thought Id ask here first as it could be a common fault like an sensor or something. It’s a NZ new 320i facelift Thanks heaps
  3. Cool, I wonder if BMW-NZ will offer this. The Designer said it runs through there server and you pay them a flat fee every year for unlimited internet. I’d have it if it was available and I could afford a new BMW
  4. Nice car mate, and good to see you have modified it a bit and are enjoying it. I dream of owning the Sedan or Touring version. A Manuel version with the optional LSD and a good driver should tip into the twelve’s.. Take it down the Quarter and find out for yourself. .
  5. Buy a paint brush, it gets into those hard to reach places.. I have a wholesale account with Meguiars and buy things 20ltrs at a time. Im a clean geek but I have nothing on this guy. .. http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthre...7865&page=1 Although I do wish my Astra was that clean, haha
  6. Same here, Im a car nut and clean both my cars every week, detail once a month and Polish/Wax every second month. It’s called taking pride in what you worked hard for, if you spend thousands on a car why not maintain its appearance and show off. I must be small minded :0
  7. Very nice, I see your from Papakura, I haven’t spotted you cruising in this 5 yet, I’ll keep an eye out
  8. What are you trying to achieve?? I had one of these briefly on a previous car and found it unsuitable for the said application. Why not go to your tuner and ask them what they recommend.
  9. Nice comment, said like a true fan boy! Would you rather a 1987 VW Polo than a 2007 Ferrari 430?
  10. The truth is that the cops probably thought it was funny, unfortunately with a plate like that and even the slightest bit of attitude your asking for it in that environment.
  11. Stink guys, you should all move to crime free South Auckland, I have never had a car touched! One of these would be nice.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2ismEjTFI4
  12. I work from home and use a bike to nip around town so im doing my bit buy only using 20L of 98 a month, I turn all things bar my Computer off at the wall, use a lot of florescent lights, I have a sign on my letter box stating no junk mail, I don’t use a heater I wear a jumper, I don’t wash my clothes unless they stink, I recycle all plastics including bags. I think as a nation we are quite clean and efficient, I have just returned from Asia and as a kiwi I was disgusted buy the amount of smog and waist there, they over package everything with thick plastics and Styrofoam (2 McDonalds Combo had 3 separate (plastic) bags and meals were packed in Styrofoam) and there was rubbish everywhere and a general lack of care for the environment.
  13. Cool car digger.. Love the plastic headlamp covers, I remember my Mum had those fitted factory to her E30 when she got it in the 80’s, can’t be many around with those.
  14. Nice looking car you have there, with some M-Tec bits and H&R springs she would look sinister. There is a resident wiz that could help you with your questions… Im sure he will poke his head out shortly!
  15. Welcome to BS. Check if your glove box light works, if not it could simply be fuse #12 in the fuse box under the hood (looks like a lunch box with lots of colourful fuses in it) you can buy a new fuse from a gas station and fix it yourself… If this doesn’t work you have only lost a couple of bucks trying.
  16. Welcome mate! Sounds like a nice car
  17. Yea, name and shame! Nothing worse than a “im Gunna†piker!

    Now this would be fun, not sure if it has been posted but it got my attention. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C....htm?key=890327
  19. I would say get him a manual as it will teach him how to drive properly, and if he is a car nut get him something with a little bit of grunt (like over 90kw) otherwise he will be wanting to sell it in a few months and buy a Jappa... 6k would buy you a much safer late model low rent car. IMHO I would sagest a E30 as the better first car as they are more reliable and easier to maintain if your into a bit of DIY.
  20. Man these wheels have got me scraping all the barrels…. I think you may need to start an auction mate! FTW
  21. May not be any help but my Mum has had a NZ new E46 for 6 years and nothing has gone wrong with it. Ever. That car changed my opinion of BMW’s, If they are looked after and properly maintained they are brilliant reliable cars so I would sagest getting NZ new with full service history, it may cost a few grand more but you’ll get it back in saved repair costs and resale value.
  22. Cool thanks for the heads up. That Black M3 seems a bit steep, but if Denny Hulme’s name is on the previous owners details sheet it has some nice heritage and would be the ultimate M3 for a collector.

    E30

    Coilovers if you want it to be legal and handle better than stock. If your after the fully sick badass gangster look and don’t care how it drives or how safe it is I would say just use a Makita lowering grinder or compress them too much, fully sickness for under $200
  24. She goes like the clappers Im telling ya! Hahah. I was referring to the Astray.
