pretty sure i saw ^ this plate (BMDUBS) on the back windscreen of a silver ACS e38 740i i saw the other day at the quay st car wash.

wow what a steal.

should have kept the e46.

interesting i dont think i was driving around that time i did drive up to around new market about 5.30 though

Interesting point made by allanw Average fuel consumption is around 7km/l which translates to 14.3l/100km Need to sleep on it and think a bit more

Lol i would if i could. I do as well but not relevant.

Ah fk wrong section. Im on my phone can mods move it plz.. sorry

Hi everyone. As per title this is starting to bug me as now i have to do a lot more kms everyday. Fuel costs are through the roof. I think i spent close to 300 dollars in a week and a half. Anyway i want to get a cheap daily. Doesnt matter what it is as long as its cheap on gas and not very big. Hatch or coupe best. Doesnt even have to be a bmw. Lol. Pref under 2k ish. Also shout out any ideas. Had a quick look on tm for any e30 318i but nothing. Thanks team Kyu

I travel along the number 1 motorway often from sylvia park mt wellington to town to albany and back but today around 4 i was driving a subi wagon so unlikely. Oh but my old man was driving the merc so quite possible i gave it a quick wash this morning too even though it did rain throughout the day. What u doing in akl andy?

I sold that plate to a guy who drives a very similar car to mine. Think it was a e500 all bits blacked out. Anyway not me i dont have a pplate on the merc anymore

Saw ACS840 down by the quay st pitstop carwash while i was there cleaning all the yucky tree leaves that fell on my car last night. Looka good.

Focus on maintenance and preventative maintenance over cosmetic modifications.

Not a fan of cf badges. Bonnet was a good price but not sure if i like it on a blue car?

I also think price is at the right point for a little bit of barganing allowance. Lhd definitely is a minus but not a huge one. Not sure how i feel about the front badge.........

what do u mean hitting the inside of the rims? What mags are u using btw?

Can i get dibs if its right size plz

Nice! Looks great on those lenso rims

Oh yea! Forgot about that trick. Maybe it was on a silly e46 where et40 is decent

Yea i tend to use the nexus one unless im charging more than 1 device at once. How safe is this usb fast charge thing?

ok sweet. good to know. any1 know if the actual USB-microUSB makes a difference in charging speed?

hahaha

ok, im gonna try find the "maximum amperage" values for the phones and devices I have and see what it says thanks

im still investigating but the general consensus seems to say that the "phone's battery will only draw as much power as it is designed to" so theoretically it seems okay to use anything higher than the recommended and it will just take what it needs to charge it? obviously, if i was to use a 5w charger for the nexus 7 tablet or an ipad it just wont charge or very slowly. another info that i have found is that a computer usb2.0 port only allows 0.5A and 3.0 allows 0.9A so even a computer cant charge a tablet it seems.

I have had a look at other tech forums and googled it but there doesnt seem to be a definitive answer. We have in our household, a note 3, iphone 5, LG L7, galaxy s4, nexus 7 tablet at the moment. I am using the stock charger for the note 3 with usb 3.0 cable which is quick as. we have multiple apple charging adapters (the wall plugs) that are labled "5W usb power adapter" that we use to charge the iphones using the normal lightning cable or whatever its called. when i use it to plug in my usb 3 cable from note 3, it chargers very slowly. when i plug in a normal usb 2 cable into this 5w charger to charge the s4 it seems "normal" when i plug in the lg l7 it says displays a message something like there is not enough power so will charge slower than normal. when i plug in the nexus 7 tab it is suuuuper slow. now when i used the nexus 7 factory wall plug and usb to charge the s4, it was super quick, same with the lg l7. THE question is: is it safe to use the "higher powered" i think 10W? wall plugs to charge any of these devices? will it cause troubles for the battery or damage any components? some people have said that the phone itself "limits the amperage" so it doesnt matter, some say they experienced problems using higher power chargers. whats the answer? sorry for the long post it took a while to illustrate what i was trying to say..

nothing some spacers cant fix aye
