I cant comment on bmw specifically as it was a Toyota I used them in, but I had a set of Vogtland springs and really rate them. I used them with new shocks and the ride was great, and not too low. They generally have quite a good name.

Unless it's been done, which I doubt, instantly bank on getting it a cert for the manual swap, on top of getting it going again.

Drained straight into the gutter, right?

You'll probably find, depending on spec, you will have trouble getting an e91 on most commercial ramps as they are really steep and will hit the bumper. I've had mine for years but barely use them because of this.

That grille is about 600x better than the beaver teeth thing. Be interesting to see what it looks like without the camo.

at least tuck the tips back in a good inch or so. Looks dumb sticking out that far from the bumper.

Before buying from hyper, check out nocams.co.nz first. They often have the same stock as hyper but for the "sale" price as their normal price.

Im sure Engine Masters did it at one point and ended up with SFA difference. I'd hit that.

if its had water all though it and then left to sit, id be pretty worried about internal corrosion throughout the engine. Things like the cams mainly but even the bores could have suffered.

Or some people just pirate everything and it costs them nothing...

Trademe doesn't do sh*t if you get ripped off. They used to, but not anymore. It's no more secure than marketplace really.

I wasnt wrong...

Cold kills batteries; its the most profitable time of the year for battery suppliers for a reason.

Only just watched the two cranking ones and it sounds like its cranking far too slow.

Could you get one of those endoscope inspection cameras and poke it in the sensor hole and off to the side and see if the chain is still there?

Whats with the really gross looking seats? Poverty spec seats? It should have sport seats fitted.

Depending whats wrong with it, dont let them write it off if you dont want to. They might offer you a cash settlement if they cant fix it in a certain period of time, and you could look to fix it yourself.

Thats a myth. The only crashes a towbar helps against is touch parking and a light bump. At work we see heaps of vehicles that have been rear ended with towbars, and it usually ends up in damage to the rear floor, rear panel and rear frame rails since you are putting a ton of force through the bar, and parts of the car that werent designed to have the force there. The bars often get pushed up or down, as does anything the bar is attached to. Utes with towbars are great, they often end up bending the end of the chassis rails. Big $$$ to fix, which is good for us 😁

You bet it would be, on a Hyundai forum (if there is such a thing), and the consensus would be that it is still ugly AF no matter the brand.

Inb4 2.8 swap because cheap supercharger "build" blew the 2.0 up. The age old saying stands true; Fast, cheap or reliable. Pick two.

Huh, that must be "new" as remaking original Govt plates wasnt a thing a few years ago.

If you order a new set of govt plates you will get a new number (only personalized plates can be remade). Keep the old 2 letter plate, it's more in keeping with the age of the car.

Even carjam has it recorded down as Miles. I applaud the dealer for not just trying to pass it off as KM, but still a bit sketchy with the cluster saying KM.

I've got to ask, because im curious, what is wrong with it? It seems like a damn good price, is it rusty?

illegal placement too, the towball cannot obscure the number plate (had issues with that before). I love weird cars being used to do things like tow trailers, but not even im down with that.
