I installed a set in my coupe a few weeks ago and had the same problem, ie. where do all these wires go, and ended up taking the car to the Auto Electricians. He did the work ok however, he did have to replace the relay. Told me that the standard relay was not the right one for Angel Eyes.

Do you have the rego?

I love Jeremy, most of the things he says are what a lot of motoring journo's would like to say but are too scared to. Have you seen the DVD that he did about American cars, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly? It compares Yank tanks with Euro cars and is very funny. I gave a copy to Glenn to share about so if you would like to see it, contact him.

Seen the first two before, but the last one was new to me and I loved it.

You scored a total of 40 The Loyal Friend Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

I would say no but with reservations. The door on the coupe is a lot larger than the sedan so in my humble opinion, the regulators will be larger.

Puts a lot of you girls to shame doesn't it.

I took all 4 of my alloys to Magwarehouse in Manukau, complete with tyres and had all of them machined. Cost $320.00 and a very good job too.

Did any of you see me at the parade?

Well I had one on my car durring the world cup, (took it down as soon as we lost that game to France) and it looked good on my black coupe. I also have All Black car mats which are still there.

Usually it's whatever is playing on Radio Hauraki. My car's radio is locked on 99FM.

If you read the entire thread carefully you will then know that this car has been in storage for four years, it has just come out and gone straight to Glenns for an inspection and get the necessary work done on it.It is not in some Concours show, it needs work and that has been made quite clear. You guys go off half cocked with your inane comments without thinking or reading what has been written.

Smartassed comments like it looks like it needs a date with a steam cleaner, or the ///M roundels should be replaced are pitiful. Some people here are too quick to criticise other peoples vehicles. If you are that clever, then fork out the $80 to $100 grand for this car then YOU can do with it as you please. I saw this car yesterday at Glenn's workshop and it is one hell of a car, and I for one would love to own it exactly as it is. But I am getting annoyed at those members here who continually criticise others cars. I like my car "blinged" others don't, but why criticise me just because of what I like. Rant Over

A PLANE IS on ITS WAY TO TORONTO , WHEN A BLONDE IN ECONOMY CLASS GETS UP, AND MOVES TO THE FIRST CLASS SECTION AND SITS DOWN. THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WATCHES HER DO THIS, AND ASKS TO SEE HER TICKET. SHE THEN TELLS THE BLONDE THAT SHE PAID FOR ECONOMY CLASS, AND THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK. THE BLONDE REPLIES, 'I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE.' THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT GOES INTO THE COCKPIT AND TELLS THE PILOT AND THE CO-PILOT THAT THERE IS A BLONDE BIMBO SITTING IN FIRST CLASS, THAT BELONGS IN ECONOMY, AND WON'T MOVE BACK TO HER SEAT. THE CO-PILOT GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND TRIES TO EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE SHE onLY PAID FOR ECONOMY SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN TO HER SEAT. THE BLONDE REPLIES, 'I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE.' THE CO-PILOT TELLS THE PILOT THAT HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THE POLICE WAITING WHEN THEY LAND TO ARREST THIS BLONDE WOMAN WHO WON'T LISTEN TO REASON. THE PILOT SAYS, 'YOU SAY SHE IS A BLONDE? I'LL HANDLE THIS, I'M MARRIED TO A BLONDE. I SPEAK BLONDE.' HE GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR, AND SHE SAYS, 'OH, I'M SORRY.' AND GETS UP AND GOES BACK TO HER SEAT IN ECONOMY.. THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND CO-PILOT ARE AMAZED AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE SAID TO MAKE HER MOVE WITHOUT ANY FUSS. 'I TOLD HER, 'FIRST CLASS ISN'T GOING TO TORONTO '.

Welcome to Bimmersport Steve, nice looking ride. There are 2 outfits on the shore that I can recomend, Bavarian Motors Ltd in Glenfield or German Automotive Ltd. also in Glenfield. I'm sure other guys who live on the shore could recomend others.

I am redoing the exhaust system on my coupe. I am getting rid of the catylitic (sp) converter and want to replace the muffler. Question is, which one do I use? I want to improve the exhaust note (a deeper slightly louder note) and twin outlet pipes. Can anyone here suggest which muffler to use.

I've just checked all my dealer web pages, and there doesn't seem to be any 850Csi's listed, in fact was there a Csi model? My books show only the 850iA & 840Ci. as being sold new in NZ.

Did anyone here watch TV#'s news last night? One of the ad breaks really cracked me up. They played the Mazda advert backwards. I'm sure it was done on purpose, but what sent me over the top was instead of their usual soundtrack of zoom, zoom, zoom it became mooz, mooz, mooz.

1989 316i 2dr. Manual was $39,850 plus on road costs.1989 316i 4dr. Manual was $41,850 plus on road costs. 1989 318i 4dr. Auto was $45,850 plus on road costs. And then of course there are the extras that you can order when you first purchase the car.

Identicar is published by GCI Publishing (1997) Ltd. Level 8 152 Quay St. Auckland. Ph. 09 309 2444. My 2004 edition cost $76.50 and there is a new edition due out any time now. (I have one on order and am waiting for delivery)

If you buy a book called "Ident-a-car" price about $70.00 that gives you the new prices and variants of every model car sold new in NZ. I have the book (every car dealer should have a copy) so if anyone wants to know the new price of their car, then post it here and I will endeavour to answer it.

Many years ago, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. Now that's a great idea. I think I'll try it at the next Bimmersport meeting at Garrisons. Brrrreeeeep another Heinekin please!

I can help you out with the "i" part. PM me if you want it, postage only.

Good on ya Shelly, you give it to them.

Did you know that the best engine in the world is the pussy. It takes any size piston It's self lubricating. Starts with just one finger, And every four weeks does its own oil change. You can eat it to warm it up, And if you f*ck it, it still works. It's just a pity the management system is so bloody temperamental.
