Yep those LED's are great, got them from the US ... much better than the stuff on trademe altho not cheap. Dave if you want the original halogens to go back in the 530 i'm pretty sure i still have them.

The product from Chorus (being consumed by your ISP) is a Layer 2 30/10M service. You are performing a Layer 3+ speedtest, therefore taking into account the layer 3+ headers it is technically impossible to achieve a full 30/10M rate. Just FYI and no it's not false advertising perhaps just poor expectation setting by ISP's.

yep 99% sure the e60/90 etc wont work on digital due to the codec used in NZ. i believe only the FXX cars have NZ capable digital tuning.

oops sorry i was assuming you had idrive

you need to have it coded ... you cannot do this with button presses on a CCC system.

O_o want.

Trying to find something decent in the city to rent is just as bad! Especially if you want car parks.

O_o i've done mine at full lock ... shouldn't be that hard.

Have you got this working with DIS by any chance?

Had - Potenza RFT all round. Changed to - Conti non RFT all round + emergency seal kit. MUCH quieter, more comfortable and IMO grippy. I'm not a race car driver so wouldn't necessarily listen to my opinion on performance but im happy with the noise reduction and comfort increase alone. Having said this the ones that were on there were rather worn (i did about 10k on them). 225/40/18 255/35/18

nice, i'd like it but would need to sell mine first

I have nothing against Good flappy paddle box's i actually quite like them ... but the early BMW ones (i.e. the ones in the E46's) are horrible sooo much lag and jerky as hell (at least the couple i've tried have been like this). Not to mention the cost if something goes wrong with it. I would stay away solely based on the fact it's an SMG.

If anyone has a later copy than 2010 for a CCC iDrive system that they can share it would be much appreciated.

first question are you running CCC (older) or CIC (newer) system? CCC has idrive wheel + 1 or 2 buttons CIC has idrive wheel surrounded by function buttons

What he said ... i use CC anywhere and everywhere i can. CC companies are generally good at identifying fraud, regardless they will reimburse you anyway!
