whats your savings to date? Im on $2311.26 so far with AA fuelcard.. These days I am considering moving to mobil 98 + smiles card because local mobil is $2.30 vs BP's $2.59. both have 6-10c savings on the odd days..

Ive sold my dd 318ti because i never used it as much as I thought I would. My M135i was fulfilling all the duties very well - something your 335i wagon probably does for you also. Ive also thought about the idea of an M3 and my thoughts now are - I want a car, 1 car, to drive to do everything. I dont want to mess around with 2 regos 2 wofs 2 maintenance. etc. so for now I am sticking with what I have and putting aside the M3 dream for another day.

SJ! sorry to see and read this mate. I know how much this car meant to you when we talked about it as it sat outside your shop before you turned it into what it had become.. such a shame but I am really glad that you are alright and not injured too badly. Everything happens for a reason and I am sure that more good things will come your way for sure!

wow nice, e39 on style 42's is hard to see despite being one of the factory wheel options. very very nice man!

bump for the bbs rk 17x8

wow, the p11 primera is actually a really decent car with a great engine, the CVT was the let down, manuals arent too common last time i checked.

ive got a very reasonably priced set of bbs for sale.. RK001, 17x8 et35 square

looking very good indeed!

way overpriced imo for what it is but guess thats besides the point..

If my car sells i may go for this, burberry cover and all!

Style 350 sold, bbs added - Bump

Sorry gone

The burberry covered disaster?? Why would i want that hahaha

Hey thats not a fair comparison, the BMW genuine part is USD 21.26. But I have no problems going with the 1.47 one haha its actually crazy.

^if I am not mistake, I think the OP has paid every bit of the service, including the wiper blades and filters, and the $350 excess was for the expansion tank and hose ONLY which is treated as a "breakdown/fault" whereas the others are just a part of the upkeep.

^ both actually require a certain level of skill. even if its just 1/5 on the screwdriver-skill-o-meter. all things considered, those retarded prices are reasonable, the indy needs to make some margin on the OEM parts they are fitting to offset the cost/delivery/stocking, then they have a labour portion on top of that. when i called dealership last time for wiper blades, they were 250, oem from nz was 150, and oem from overseas was 100. ended up ali-expressing some cheap ones for $30..

if you "drop in" a car for "a service", you are getting a.. service. aka, get the basic parts replaced/sorted at their knowledgeable reputation and hopefully prevent bigger/further damage and keep your car on the road. every single one of those items are all good important parts that should be replaced, unfortunately the kms is never a good judgement of a condition of the car and this is the biggest problem with NZ car sellers and buyers who think LOW KMS? --> NO PROBLEMS!! Now, all those things are relatively easy replacements if you choose to order the parts and DIY but this requires a level of skill or at least help. Sure you can save a few bucks but in exchange you spend your time and effort. Therefore, a service exists the way it is. Another dealer bullshit is that they will always claim the car is "serviced" upon arriving from Japan. This is 99% of the time just outright lies. At most, they apply a thick layer of greasy cleaning product all over the car and engine bay and usually top up the engine oil instead of draining/replacing it properly. To be honest, if you bought your car 6 months ago and you have done 11,000kms already, you should DEFINITELY do an oil change. It should be done roughly every 10,000kms not every 1 year or 20,000kms. Also, with the 116i, be careful with the air intake hose, it will probably crack soon if it hasnt already.

M135...

i would buy this if it was in auckland.. that is crazy value indeed. im going to look at wellington flights now..

he puts ken block to shame with this

glad to know i didnt waste my time going there. i knew it was a junkyard and no suprises based on the replies in this thread. ha!

sorry i dont follow..? i am thinking i could do with money in hand as I prepare for a house deposit but to be honest, ever since i put up this ad i feel more and more like i dont want to sell.. its nothing urgent anyway
