  2. i saw that on sunday afternoon around the same area....nice to see a car like that in chch
  3. could someone point me in the right direction of getting some genuine philips d2s bulbs? prefer a local supplier as i purchased some from ebay which turned to be fake thanks

    amazing car!! is the boot really made from cardboard??
  7. a service is about $4XX depending on what needs to be done, brakes are about $1600, coils $800ish but you can always go aftermarket parts now and dont have to take it to a bmw dealer great car to drive with a very good chassis.....but i have driven the new range of bmw's and man they are even better lol
  8. we have a 05 320i (e90) had it coming up to 5 years now and the first three years when it was under warranty was great with no problems.....after the warranty it was problem after problem from front brakes, rear brakes, coils, oil leak, window washer, door handles, air vent....etc the car now has only done 37,000km!! i dont have any real advise, our car was purchased from bmw and has been fully serviced from them, so getting a pre-purchase check would help
  9. Thanks Neal, I will check out those articles
  10. thank you we always wanted one like this and this way we dont have to spend any money making it look this way!! thanks for the tip, will upgrade to 165's on the next tyre change do you know what type of engine oil would be best?
  11. i hope one mini is enough for us as we are running out of room to park our cars haha
  12. I can recommend bridgestone S001, great amount of grip
  13. Thank you for all the replies We spoke to the owners and they have maintain the car very well, only rust found was under the windscreen and he got that repaired. It sounds like they have not spared any cash on it and truly looked after it
  14. i think Hammonds one was a john works cooper, it had bigger guards than his one if i do get one i wont be winching anything with it
  15. thanks elmarco seems like rust is always a issue with mini's no matter what year it was made in. As for the other faults i know of a good mechanic which can take care of any leaks around the engine
  16. thinking to get a mini and came around this one on trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=437054050 is there anything to look out for? also what do you guys reckon on the price?
  17. also try rj patterson i got very good advise and service from them
  18. to really get used to a SMG is either drive one for about 2 weeks or drive one hard on a race track what colour do you want to get?

    NOW WRECKING

    condition and colour of the interior trims? thanks
  22. your tony's sounds good, my local one is very pushy and everything is a add on costi purchased a set of re001 about a couple of years ago and were very pushy with the sale trying to add on wheel alignment, tyre disposal cost, new tyre valves. I even had to push them to waive the fitting and balancing cost when all other places were built into the price they quoted overall i would rate their service as poor
  23. tony's will only price match if you go to them with a printed quote from the cheaper shop....as if the cheaper shop is going to give you a printed quote....save your time and hassle and just buy from the cheaper shop time and time again i find tony's NOT the cheapest and its best to ring around
  24. will post once i get my coilovers thanks i know they are so prettttyyy they will be be getting told to be careful but they always been very careful on all my bbs wheelsanyone want recommend a tyre? re001? re050a? sport maxx? T1R/T1S?
  25. thanks too much haha but worth every cent
