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!

price would be helpful

http://www.dension.com/product/iPod-iPhone...its/gateway-500 have a look at this ... not sure how well it would work without i-drive tho.

getting it to english language and getting it to tune nz radio are 2 totally different things

opps .... yes on a japa he is correct.

no offense but those photos aren't very helpful u need to step back and take 1 of everything where it should be. from memory i believe its the silver box to the left of the amp ... you should be able to tell what by what box has coax antenna plugs going into it. there should be 2 of these 1 for radio 1 for tv, looking at the label with part number should help you decide which ... or just unplug antenna from one and see if you loose radio or tv.

Worth noting that half the time its shitty house wiring thats the problem, or at least i have found for mine and a few others it has been anyway. My house is a good example of this: i have 2x ADSL connections 1 modem is attached directly to the service lead that runs into the house from the street. 2 modem is attached to house wiring which then connects to the service lead (this is using a splitter not filters) 1 12m down 2 6.5m down i know that its not an issue on the street because i've had both modems at the service lead to test and they both sync at the same rate.

Is your sync rate slower than it was before you changed. NO = if your throughput is slower this is likely due to a crappy contention ratio on the new ISP ... solution change ISP. YES = then you have probably been moved off a cabinet and onto LLU equipment based at the exch ... solution bitch and moan for them to move you back onto the wholesale network so you feed from the cabinet.
