Welcome.

If its a known recall it will be done out of warranty, I know of factory recalls that have been carried out on a 5 year old Japanese import BMW, the dealer just charges it back to BMW.

BMW dealership.

Poor old bugger probably thought it was a grey battle ship after 6 $4.5 handles. BMW did contribute quite a lot of technology to the Nazi’s in WW2 so you can see why someone fighting them would resent them, my grandparents never liked them and my missus Oma would rather travel in a old Corolla than a new BMW.

With power shift?

Worth a drive to Mag&tyre Direct, to be honest I was sceptical of the wheels judging by the photo’s on the site but seeing them up close I was very impressed with the quality and appearance. I like the Black BBS reps with the red time attack lip myself. This may sound silly but have you accounted for decent tyres? A quality tyre is going to do a lot more than a cheap one fitted to a big wheel.

Sell out? Hip hop is one big sell out, gotta make a dollar dog.

He didnt did he?

They will get sh*t loads of hype though, last time they come over radio stations played them nonstop and went on about how they were the best band in the world… Who the hell actually rates them that high? Metallica will get the same hype. Yawn. Its all propaganda.

As per Top Gears recommendations send it off in a dignified manor, Crush it, throw it off a cliff or give it a Viking funeral. Nice add and photography though, I bet it gets a bit of interest.

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH…NAH.

Only look at Euro and Australian NCAP. The first E39 was not tested as it is too old but the 98 facelift was with head airbags was and get 4 stars so just consider the first car as safe as long as you avoid accidents that involve rolling over. http://www.euroncap.com/tests/bmw_5_series_1998/49.aspx The E60 was the first to get a 5-star

I don’t see what’s confusing, the consumer is paying the higher rate not you.

2012 Honda NSX test mule? Honda’s Type R division take weight reduction to stupid levels

X2. Better photo's make all the difference.

Nice. Is it NZ new and will it be sold with a Tech-II steering wheel?

Ah good stuff, and good to hear about good service, we too often only hear about the bad.

Didn't you say you are still learning to drive a manual?

I hate searching for Megane Back Box and ending up with porn.

Haha I managed to scare the driving instructor at the last day, apparently full opposite lock is not supposed to happen at 170kph through turn one.. was his own fault though... he stopped yelling GO GO GO GO GO after that

You were surprised your car was road legal or surprised with the service?

He's dreaming alright, 40k for an old X5 with 120k on the clock!

Sarah Michelle Gellar is a Transvestite? Who knew

Im glad you said that, im still stuck with X and SQUARE and the D-Pad on GT games, more because throttle modulation was always difficult, it’s much better on newer games like Shift These new wheels are quite bloody good though with really nice weighted feedback, it’s the throttle, brake and clutch feel I would like.
