Not much point selling it for less than $500, Ill just convert it into media box to replace Pi running Kodi or something.

Whats the internet say about the pricing of this - https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/computers/desktops/no-monitor/listing/2932056600 ? Its cheaper than the others on there, but I think the other listings are dreaming. Just relisted it with 13 watchers and no bids.

Mines insured for 16, pretty pointless insuring for anything less than what would cost to replace.

Nice one, be careful of that guys advice. He asks a question on facebook, gets an answer, and then makes a video out of it claiming to be an A grade mechanic the next day. His mate is the "BMW doctor" on youtube, who is a raging halfwit...

Id call the other flavour "wrong" but, semantics I had a wheel shop lose one of the hubcentric rings on my wheels once and then just bolt the wheel straight up thinking no one will notice the fact that wheel doesnt turn in a circle anymore....

So, hubcentric then This is whats on mine - https://spurverbreiterung.de/product_info.php?k=Sp&info=p396228_ 10mm.html&cat=c1024_BMW.html&bezeichnung=1er&typ=(E81, E87) - 187, 1K2, 1K4 The back of the spacer is machined to take the lip of bore, and then duplicates it on other side.

??? That pretty much means anything over about 5mm isnt able to be certed?

I think my internets is broken. I searched for every key word I could imagine and got keyrings and knock off M badges.

Finally killed it properly, and now I can't find them on aliexpress 😕 There used to hundreds for sale.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2904416551?bof=dzuFQrUp - Do it. That looks like a good buy

If you press the BC button on left hand stalk it'll scroll through all the trip options, average speed, instantaneous fuel, range, average fuel etc etc. If you press the up and down toggle it'll scroll through the menu where you can check oil level, check fault codes, etc etc When its got a active error it'll pop up a little triangle next to the trip odo (thats currently reading 010.3km) that you can get more info on through the above (things like low fuel will do it too) A proper engine fault gets its own orange/red warning light next to the airbag light etc. Orange - somethings broke. Red - stop driving. There is also a "hidden" menu if you hold down the trip reset button on cluster it'll go into the service menu where you can reset oil changes etc etc.

Average trip speed isnt it.

42k? with sh*t budget tyres and grime everywhere (is that rust around the tail light?)

Masterton return via allll the B roads, didnt miss a beat

We've been giving contracts to lowest price tenders for decades now, its so broken. We get sh*t products that arent on time, companies go under trying to meet contracts that are impossible to do (but they got the job) and people lose their jobs. $50 a couple of the big contractors in NZ collapse in the next 6 months, or withdraw from NZ completely.. in 10 years time the only ones available to do it will be Chinese.

Its not even nicely done 3D printing.. even bolting that on is a bit silly...

I didnt see anything on newtis about preloading, only the final torque of 420Nm?

3M90 or 77 would be my guess, 90s probably overkill.

If they've tried to pull the flange out of the race (step 1 in replacing the bearing), the bearing in the "new" bits is pretty much guaranteed to be toast now as it ripped the inner race out of the bearing.

Mission accomplished. The high pitch power on dentist drill whine at 100ish has gone, must have been the diff. All works good and feels tight as a tiger. Handbrake can now be adjusted properly, no more 5 click nonsense. Checked for 11s, satis.

Thats absurd, Id be arguing they didnt have the gear or know how to do the job they shouldnt have taken it on, and wanting them to discount the rates.

New handbrake hardware and shoes (the bmw kit for all the handbrake stuff for both sides is cheap as chups), halfshafts cleaned and banged back in.. They look pretty good for how many times they've been spun around! 420Nm on the axle nut = 71kg at 600mm

Will keep an eye on this direct memory access shennanigans and see how it looks and prices change in another 6 months when all the hardcore gamers stop fighting over the new cards. Gonna build another box out of decent last gen spare bits to tardme, if anyone wants a 4790k.

What part wont come apart? Tell them to try harder @HELLBM has 130s
