Im over here bouncing off 300,000km... ? If its been looked after 200,000 is no issue, they age well. Its probably a good buy at 7500 if its solid mechanical shape, id be looking at things like the throwout bearing, DMF, clutch and suspension bushes (as well as the usual oil leaks, particularly the sump, as the others are easy and cheap)

It fluctuates a lot, between 80 and the highest ive seen is like 105, you can watch it change modes in realtime during an italian tune up (where it drops temps the more "italian" the tune up )

Yup, pretty clever beasty. The oil pump in them is clever from an engineering standpoint too, all mechanical and able to vary its output as needed.

Yeah I had it its pretty goofy (it exploded my FRM, made all the tail lights on car go crazy), support is sh*t, and the subscription model is horrendous. I cancelled it. Bimmergeeks protools is light years better, does all the same stuff and more, and is a one of purchase. Very recommended.

I keep looking at AW11 MR2s, Subaru Alcyone XT/Vortexs, and Porsche 944s. I think I have a problem (and also like cars that consist of straight lines)

I dont understand why anyone buys a new car ?

Thats got to be one of the cheapest 1Ms in the world?

Got some interesting bits on it, looks like ACS spoiler and some random front bar - https://www.turners.co.nz/Cars/Used-Cars-for-Sale/bmw/1-series/20321543

Reality is if anyones charging less than $50 for a wof, they're making their money elsewhere...

Now for sale for 10k on faceballs I see

Depends if its been stacked or not, and if those little canard things have been tek screwed in

ISTA Is a bit of pig with real virtual com ports, I can imagine it being even more of a pig with virtual virtual com ports

https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-2685592122.htm? - Im guessing thats had the front end shoved in at some point.

No tape deck either... bastards.

Wow... yeah those are trash! Noise is odd, Ive never head that one before. Sounds more like a resonance from something rather than an injector? I havent had any luck with any of the "accelerator" triggered resets, ISTA and bimmergeeks protools can definitely do it.

Videos set to private - what coils did you get? You'll hear the valvetronic motor move to the extremes after a reset, it hits the stops, if it did that it worked.

Id admire your work ethic in dealing with such a cluster fudge, I cant stand fixing other peoples messes... drives me balmy.

Landsail tyres, and chewed out rotors.. awesome.

I set up my garage door (old dominator) to be smart the during the weekend, pretty cool driving in the driveway and "open sesame" and the door opens On the ubiquiti stuff, I very recently looked at it and it does look good, and well priced. Some of the cameras output looked a little bit iffy though... in the end I went with an Arlo 3 Pro system with 3 pro and 4K cameras due to not feeling to inspired to run more cat 6 around the house! Works well, integrates with google ("show me the shed video camera" etc). If I did it again Id use more 4k cameras and less of the 3 pros, the difference between the 2.7k 3 pro and 4k is more than just the resolution, the 4ks image looks better, has a wider field of view, and the microphone is better.

Those little bissells are awesome, Ive made a few cups of coffee out of various cars

Chip tune on the diesels, thats it.

Did BMW NZ keep record of what cars had the fix carried out? I have nothing in the service history, so wonder if mine has the metal rings or not (not that its ever thrown an oil pressure/vanos issue) and I have the full service history.

Considered tweaking mine into an ACS1 awhile back, but then decided I didnt like the look of the ACS wing or rear valance.. kinda dig the eurotrash vinyl though... maybe after a respray to fix the 300,000km of stone chips.

I really dig the optional bmw performance stripe that runs along the crease, but its only in black/grey
