  1. He has aspergers, think its a bit low giving him crap. Does make me fell much better about my spelling though.
  2. We drove a few of each and settled on the 545i, they are a good $10,000 more expensive on average though so im not sure it’s a fair comparison. If it were a non M kitted E60 it would be a hard decision for me if there was 10k in it. The SWB 745i with the active sway bars is not so far off the 545i dynamically and is a much better cruiser, better if you like SH1. The E60 is not as a dynamic car as you would believe though, especially on kiwi roads, our M was a willowy mess as soon at the pace was turned up and could not out run a hatch back on a typical Kiwi back road or anything twisty. I think the extra money for a good 545i will pay back in the long run, the E65 will be worth a bag of apples in three weeks (like the old seven) where the E60 will be a bit more desirable, the E60 is a newer generation car also and has fewer components so will be cheaper to service.. but still no bargain and if its near 100,000km it will soon start falling apart like most modern BMW's do. The 545i is a fantastic all rounder, its every car to every man and does everything well, buy a NZ new car with a FSH and look after if properly and it will serve you well for years. 2c.

    This is annoying when you are out of Auckland or even in a part of town you don't know. I had my car tuned to run it (see supercharge E39 535i thread) and were constantly playing chicken with the fuel light.. it didn't help that when the car was refitted with larger injectors its fuel gage was way out also Im not sure V-Power is making my car very Ferrari like but as Pjay says, they have fly buys...but BP have great Coffee and better looking staff. Its tough. Fuel economy tip: I walk to work and save a sh*t load every week, my tip is to try and find work close to home, you will save hours of your life bettering your life quality and literally thousands of dollars every year that you waist going to and from the place you earn it. Counter productive. Oh and coast.. coasting saves crap loads, who cares if you are holding that sales rep in a Mazda 6 up from stopping to wait faster.
  4. He has not replied me and wont pick up his phone and there is no way in hell I am texting him. I don't know where i'm going to find a rough as guts automatic Japanese import if he doesn't reply. I have a sun-bed for sale, was hoping we could have worked something out.
  5. I have noticed both Mark and yourself have reduced the amount you post on Bimmersport, im thinking there is definite link to Bimmersport and smoking. Good stuff guys.

    Now that would be cool. But not if that guy from third rock from the sun that played cobra was there. He is creepy and could potently spoil the fun. French Stewart would be all good though.
  7. Of course it is, it’s the 4wd and turbo that make it faster than a N/A V8, its devils magic and just plain cheating, off with its head! Was taking the piss and getting the mandatory Skyline comment in on a Bathurst thread. Never mind. Even a prehistoric Flintstones V8 supercar is substantially faster than any Skyline. Mandatory Prehistoric technology comment covered. The McLaren used for this demonstration is the 2008 championship winning MP4/23 F1 car so no problems with saving it for Friday. Go RBR.
  8. Black white front and black silver on the back, I just put the black white one on as the other black silver got st-owned on Targa tour. Parking wardens should not have the powers they have, I dont mind a parking ticket but why should they be entitled to dish out registration fines

    BMW X6M

    To answer your question, a German couple with two kids living 200km away from town who use the Autobahn to commute. I cant help but think "south side niggler" when I see the name G-Power. Do not want.
  10. Oh the noise, the glorious noise. 40 seconds a lap faster than a V8 Super if he pushed it I recon… just not as fast as Skyline.. that they banned for being too fast.
  11. A Skyline would still be faster but they banned it. F1 cars are just Taxi cabs with stickers.

    BMW accident

    Yep. BMW’s are special I apologise, it’s not always, sometimes it seems they don’t have details from the Police but a reporter will mention what make the car was when they have been told. Most of the time they are only told, Van.4x4, Car etc.. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3979843/Gi...rbury-car-crash

    BMW accident

    They always mention the make of car.
  15. I didn’t notice anything wrong with his grammar?
  16. Hell yeas. I just sent him like 23,000 questions Via Email.. Might give him a call later, after a few beers.
  17. True. That sucks. So 14 days to swap em back and prove it to who?? VTNZ don't care. Five years and no problems. Maybe they just can’t see my car, it’s quite stealth.

    Run 95 if it recommends you do so, as said running 91 will cost more in the long run. I would not worry about your car blowing up though. I ran mine on 110 over a couple of tanks and consumption went up so it cuts both ways.
  19. 2011. I'm still rocking the same highly deadly and illegal black euro plate and still haven't been pulled over. I'm thinking the cops have a new thing to focus on as I have been pulled up a few times without mention.

    e30 touring

    Looking good.
  21. Worth a drive. Buy ex demo and save the 10k you will lose in the first 12 months, in saying that there is a huge waiting list for ex demo. If you don't actually drive fast whats the point of a RS4?? And even then they are not that fast. You bastard. We are still waiting in NZ
  22. Agreed. Please don't add kit, not many that look as nice and original as yours. Such awesome looking cars, they still look fresh after 20 years. Would love one.
