A big welcome!!!

You will no Shane Paget then? Runs the Rangiora branch of Ray white, hes a good guy and very good at his job

Yep sure do! I run the South Island Franchise for Ray White and Shane has a few offices with us. Great guy. My office is actually in the same builing as his in Belfast. I also have spent some time with him at the track with his batman (race car). Small world ha?

Couldn't agree more with tire! You have a stunning motor there mate and I think the best mod you can do to it is a nice BS sticker on it

Thanks Adam. Sticker will be added soon!!

Nice 6 series, black is it! Good to see some money spent on yourself, well done.

Thanks Man it's my pride and joy!

Did you work out how to do the signature? I posted it a couple back. You have one of bs's hottest cars make sure everyone knows!

I have not had the time this week but will try on the weekend. Work is so busy at the moment it's driving me crazy!!!!

Welcome to Bimmersport Kyle. Nice 6

The BBQ is at the Groynes, picnic area 3

date-- 24/02/08

start -- 3.00pm til closed

Dont worry about the age thing, i'm even older but the younger guys dont mind, to them i'm another Bimmernut

who loves his car

Very nice cars. E500 is a kickass car.

Welcome! I'm assuming you work for Ray White real estate

Yep I do work for Ray White. I do have some more photos of the benz but I didn't know if you guys would be interested as this is a BMW forum. I am happy to post more photos if you like as I thought it was pretty cool as well. I took these photos when I put some custom made 19" AMG wheels on it to replace the original AMG 18's. I have photos with the original and the difference the 19's made to the car. The guy who owns Indy cars here in ChCh has bought the car and I believe he is using it for private use so those in ChCh may still see it around. I will bring our pro photography gear to the bbq this weekend so we can all post some good photos.

btw, do you have a higher res one of the 540? Would love to have it as a wallpaper.

Just realised that the original is better as I reduced the size for posting. If you give me your email address, I will send original.

+1, that is an awesome pic, kind of freaky.

Very nice Benz too!

I dont of that particular photo. I took that on a sh*t camera as I was just sending a photo of the snow to my mum in Australia. You may have seen the green 318 with Aussie plates, that was my first bimmer which I had to sell when I moved over here five years ago (Awsome condition) I was dissapointed I could not bring it over. My mum loves my passion for BMW's as well. Got to love mum's ha? I know I took some photos's of the 540M with our pro gear but I am stuggling to find them. When I do I will post them!

What did you find wrong with the benz?

Beautiful car! just a bit young for the style. Very rarely had someone in the back seat! I got talked into trying a benz and did enjoy the experience but once a bimmer fan always a bimmer fan!

Hey Riley. What time next Sunday 24 is the BBQ. I'm going to try hard to get there and meet some of you guys.

Thanks Yuen.

I do a little photography on the side! Some more I can post if you would like!

Hi Riley, Will try to make it!

Hi Nick.

My first BMW was a1996 318 5 speed manual. Then I got a 523 97 model. The next one was a big step up a 2001 540M. I also bought a 1999 318 for my partner. I had a brief meltdown and went to the other side and got a E500 Benz 2003. I just traded the Benz on the 645 about a month ago. had to to try but saw the light! I will try to post photos of the all but might be missing some!

Hi Riely

I saw the BBQ coming up! I might just drop in and bring some goodies! Happy for the gold coin donation too! Probably a little older than some of you guys but still love the drive and the cars. Ony 36 by the way!

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, go into your profile, and hit my controls, then down the left hand side you should see edit my signature, and then add an img code that which ever photo you want repersents.

Usually you have to use an external photo host.

Hope that helps, someone here would proberly know how to explain it better.

Thanks Greg I will give it a go!

Thanks Moktar!

Thanks Cain!

Yeh struggled working the pic's thing out! Would like to know how you guys get a phot signiture to work?

Cheers!

Thanks Greg! I'm certainly a M3 fan as well! The M3 would have to be BMW's biggest sucess!
