+1 looks smart as with those rims-time to stop talking & start saving!!

Probably best not to do too much shopping before you know whats wrong with the car $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

April Fool?s Day

Yep,I've got one-give me a call if you want to check it out - 0272542604Mark

You could try classiccover.co.nz . Its way cheaper than usual but there are some requirements ie car garaged,mileage stipulated etc & I'm guessing ur under 25 so maybe an issue but still worth a go-you can get a quote online.

The Schnitzer bits should make your car perform better & they certainly make it look a hell of a lot better. Having the ACS bits is a big plus not a cause for concern Cant help with consumption info sorry-mine are all THIRSTY. PS Welcome to BS

This had got to be some sort of record-I've read all the posts,given the matter a great deal of thought & come to the only possible sensible conclusion----- All the guys on BS luff Evo's

Glenns one looks a better deal at something under $100k-much more specialer!!!! :thumb: But me, RS500 too-but not at the price.

Yep,Welcome Dan-no shortage of advice etc here Good to see the Bay contingent growing-as said pix are mandatory & the get togethers can be quite odd

I'm picking Si's in bed but yea he disposed of that in short order--------at least I'm sure thats what he would want me to say

Couldnt possibly fit one in

Well all you employed bimmersporters missed out on a great day. Perfect weather & the track nice & grippy with about 60 cars. The Ferrari Club had booked 25% of the time-great turnout-1 Ferrarri,2Porches,1 Ford something turbo & an ancient Legacy rally car -sign of the times!! Simon & I lolled big time. Si had the 540 humming,lots of squealing tyres & (polite) pissedoffishness with a certain Mitsi boyracer who kept blocking him. Me,Well I was a bit rusty but by Rd3 was getting back into it & having a ball in the Schnizzle. But I'm really looking forward to the next one with the Gertrag in it - thanks Sammy J !! The drive home was almost a highlight with Si leading the way(of course) A little tad of moderate high speed running with an S Commodore who joined the party until it rained & Si showed that Beemer drivers have bigger balls than Holden drivers(& his wife looked like she was sh**ting herself) Unbeknown to me Si had paid a big rig driver to block me for about 10kms so that he wouldnt be humiliated by a Schnizzler Anyhooo-a couple of pics

Mate,enjoy your roadtrip & yes do like Greg says haha. PS I'm going to be in ChCh Early May while on a Sth Island roadtrip -would be cool to catch up & view your new gf.

Excellent Mark-looks s**t hot.See-speed counts!!

Why dont you just get 2 new tyres? $150 for rims & tyres seems pretty cheap to me

Yep that what she needs for sure.

Ooh that hurts Yep I do have the springs-good plan-thanx.

Hey MarkI was going to do another thread titled "My girl sits funny" Yeah you're right it does-any suggestions? I thought the logic was a little off too. It looks like its spent some time on gravel roads eh-quite a few chips down the sides which is a liitle strange.

We accidently found that the mothers step 2 & then 3(caranuba polish) worked on the trim too-obviously a different plastic to the 540s.

Nothing like a foot in both camps & yes it is.

Its going to have be this-I just had a look at the spare 17s for the 540 & one of them is pretty thin & I havent replaced the 18 I blew yet-they dont call me Arkwright for nothing haha.Thanks for fixing the pix-I secretly hoped you might

PM'd

$100 to who can guess who had the biggest hangover in Napier today-Simon or Cain(or Doug-did he show?)Sorry I had to bolt but car,cops & Paddys Day not a healthy mix

Sorry about the random pix layout guys-dont know what happened there.

Hey All, Saturday was HUGE.Flight from Hastings at 6.40am,pick up car (& a couple of entertaining german backpackers)from ChCh, nice cruise to Picton,ferry etc, another not so nice cruise(I'm a bit sleepy by now) to Hastings getting home at 2am. Certainly put the suspension to the test with my 2 passengers & a set of rims & tyres on board-did a wee bit of wheel rubbing!! Excellent day tho & once I remembered its not a 540 & using the throttle & gears is a good thing I had a ball & it made me remember why I wanted it. Just so you know its a 1990 Sth African 325i Schnitzer done 172ks. Its auto but wont be for much longer. Apart from a few minor gremlins like rear windows (& wipers)which have a mind of their own,its in excellent nick-better than I had hoped. So today my brother & I got out the Mothers 3 step & some $7.99 shoe leather conditioner(the leather was quite crazed)(thanks to RJS? for the thread) & this is the result. SECURITY UPGRADE E: (Si) Tried to sort out pictures
