i think having it a WOF failure if tyre age if over a certain limit would be easy to implement, check, and would knock a lot of this on the head quickly.

Saw this car on the motorway the other day. Full Schnitzer kit, exhaust, mirrors etc. Looked pretty tidy, what a shame.
-
Lawl, the front rotors on the SLS are a touch over 8K+gst each. Best not use those carbon ceramics very often.
-
i should see what the carbon ceramic brakes on the SLS at work are worth, just for giggles.
-
No, no they dont.

P3cars do something similar too http://www.p3cars.com/bmw/?sort=bestselling albeit more basic, but cheaper and easier for a quick glance

The set of Yokohamas i just chucked on my daily only set me back about $600. i consider that cheap and theyre pretty good tyres. Personally, id rather a set of ling longs or triangles than a set of 10 year old goodyears or something. At least you know the chinese ones probably wont break apart, but the expired ones could.
-
new tyres arent that expensive, and its not like they tend to creep up on you (unless they become damaged etc) and take a while to wear down enough to require replacement. I whole heartedly support policing the age of tyres. Old tyres with heaps of tread are no safer than tyres below the legal treat depth limit.

not from what ive found, a lot of NZ New cars have no options ticked too.... but looking at this, its like the owner looked at the "standard options" list and unticked the lot of them too.

very nice, that CSI bumper makes a huge difference. Still one of the best E31s.
-
Theyre bimmersport plate surrounds arent they?
-
ugh, hope you could option it WITHOUT this fugly blue interior
-
Sounds like something that might be in the owners manual?
-
Rota Grids (not kidding)

Gotta be quick!
-
Yeah, this is mine. Done just after i rebuilt the vanos, K&N panel filter, and had the cats removed from exhaust but otherwise stock. Your plot looks pretty nice IMO, smooth and linear
-
now if only someone was making mounting brackets for 328is...

keen to see the dyno sheet and see how similar it was to mine. My 3.0 made 179kw but was on a hub dyno.

Estimates on E60 530i maintenance and insurance costs
KwS replied to Contrails's topic in General Discussion
remember to factor in the cost of converting the iDrive to NZ in a Japanese import too. -
the one i had from Pelican was really solid and really bloody heavy.
-
ah, but how do you get it to that height to put the stands in?
-
i had one for my first E36, was awesome, so easy to jack the car up and cleared up the underside to put jack stands on the jack pads (which are usually all missing anyway) under the car.
-
shouldnt be too hard to replicate. hell, be awesome and mill it from billet. oh wait, didnt want to spend heaps on it, awww.
-
i dont e30, but even i think thats a bloody nice example. LOVE the mtech interior and GLASS sunroof.
