  1. f**k no, mercs are sh*t, especially old ones. Parts for the old models like that are becoming hard to get new too.
  2. Dont we have a thread for rants?
  3. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-876779667.htm
  4. fantastic, both of them. One extreme to the other.

    US M3

    Its not a real M3.
  6. had a look for a whole vanos unit on ebay from the Uk or something? Probably not a hell of a lot more expensive and will have spares.
  7. if you want to test them yourself, its pretty easy. I outline the details when i did mine here, http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/49996-diy-s50b30-vanos-rebuild-info/
  8. have you tried re-soldering the circuit board contacts? Fairly common point of failure there and can cause intermittent failure.

    1994 540i AC Schnitzer

    You suck. About a week too late, already just bought a new car Love this E34 though, perfect.
  10. Still a bloody stunner. Beautiful.
  11. its clearly not hurting new car sales. the cars were fine when they were new, its only now that they are old and crusty (/out of warranty) that they are falling to bits. Car makers dont cry many tears over old cars failing, they want you in their latest stuff when it gets old.
  12. we get a lot of insurers ordering glass through us. Its all about asking. Im also sure its a legal right to choose who repairs the car?
  13. Says the guy that owns an i30 and a transit?
  14. We always try and get customers to get their insurance to buy a genuine screen through us (the dealer) and get it fitted by us. Too many bad stories with S&S

    Quick rant thread.

    What people dont understand about me when i rant on about how much i hate road cyclists... is that i actually really enjoy hitting the trails on a mountain bike. I concur whole heartedly.

    Quick rant thread.

    I must ask then, do the spandex bandits not understand this fact? If they did, surely that would stop trying to be a statistic. Im of the opinion that anyone wearing spandex can GTFO as the ratio of a**hole:good cyclist when it comes to spandex is 100:0, whilst the ratio for cyclists that arent wearing spandex is about 30:70.

    EVO M3

    i hate being this person, but you should really have a better look in this part of the forum. This car has been discussed here a couple of times now.

    E36 M3

    oh wow, is that a Mora E39? That would be lush as f**k with a black interior.
  20. last i checked the ownership hadnt changed, so no idea whats up with that one.
  21. uh no, the one in the OP is a genuine M5 body/chassis. Even carjam says its an M5, and running the vin confirms it. The one you are thinking of is a different car, which was down here in wellington (i tried to buy it but couldnt get hold of the seller). Imported M5 couldnt be complied due to damage, so got completely reshelled into 520i.

    E36 M3

    TV and DV (that one is Daytonaviolet fyi) are THE BEST colors on an E36. That one is up there in price, which i suspect is why it hasnt sold. It looks very nice, and i also think the previous owner was a BS member.
  24. Saw a black E30 M3 RHD yesterday, plate said something about EVO. Drooled a bit.
