    New M2

    That red one looks like a Chinese knockoff of a BMW. Might as well be called a Chery. Somehow all the sharp edges have been softened like its a photoshop, and leaves it looking sort of mushy to look at.

    As said, Diesel fuel in the oil is normal as long as long as it's only a small amount. Some vehicles actually have a secondary "full" marking on the dipstick as an indicator to change the oil if the level reaches it from fuel contamination.

    Either its blue and you are blind as a bat, or you are trying to save face by saying you are talking about a different set of pictures...

    New M2

    Clearly blue, might want to alter your display colour settings. It's also ugly as all f**k, no matter the colour. Compare it to the outgoing M2 and it's not even a contest. The new one is like a child drew it, but I think even a child could do better.
  5. Being an E36 you will need a BMW specialist with an ADS connection to connect to the car and check for codes. A normal OBD2 reader wont work. Old car life.
  6. How the mighty have fallen. Damn I want it though! Ultimate combo.

    Quick rant thread.

    Yeah nah. Dealer should foot the bill.
  8. Only real option is to drill the hole out and insert a helicoil or similar.
  9. Its not an exact science. As long as its close to level it will be fine.
  10. Mainfreight quoted me just shy of $500 to ship a pair of front seats from Cromwell to Wellington, depot to depot, so add in the rear seat and im not that surprised. Its all about that volumetric weight.
  11. Oh damn didnt even notice those on my phone. Ugh. Having one sticker on the leading edge of the handle and the other on the trailing edge triggers me the most though.
  12. Love the comments about "Full Black interior swap from a Msport (steering wheel, shift knob, black pillars, roof liner, grab handles, sun shade etc)" Yeah nah, thats not even a partial swap.

    The system is fine, people are broken. Just be thankful we even have a path for modification, unlike other countries. Would hate to get a massive fine for having a pod filter installed like in Aus.
  14. The body coloured front lip and door handles is a..... choice.... 😬 Baby M3 😂 Yah nah. but "its got the same chassis schlocks and wider rear wheels"
  15. The previous owner of my old one got unlucky lol. At 150k it'd had turbos, injectors, hpfp, lpfp, coils, sump gasket and the trans wasnt too happy. It did have a stage 2+ tune though which stresses everything. They arent a cheap car to own, but they are an older high performance european car, so expect some decent stacks of cash for maintenance.

    Ill add to the list; Loud motorcycles with no mufflers being ridden at WOT around residential areas in the early hours of the morning. Please seriously maim yourself. Heck, loud motorcycles at all, do they really think their mix of a long sloppy fart and a bad trombone sounds good?
  17. Why not just wait until you have the car back at home before fitting the plates...?

    Quick rant thread.

    I roll apple as my daily laptop because it's just easier to use, hardware lasts longer and I don't need to mess with anything, but my phone is Samsung and I hate all the other apple devices in the ecosystem (appletv, time capsule etc) as they're all compromised and just don't quite hit the mark. Wish I never bought into the ecosystem now. Windows is a shitshow; I have to use it at work every day and it makes my MacBook look like it's from the future in terms of just not shitting itself all the time for no reason. I'm an ex certified apple tech. LoL.

    God I hate my Apple TV. The hardware and OS is generally good, but its limited by the apps which are kinda half cooked. Cant wait to replace my tv and bin the apple shite.
  20. I have a low end Nilfisk, had it for about 8 years or so I think. Used infrequently but when I do it's for a good couple hours solid (house washing etc). Never had an issue with it, shame if they've left the market.
  21. Its an air filter. Stop over thinking it.
  22. Sounds like sh*t too, going by either the current or previous owner who a few months ago did regular laps past my house at WOT. Glad they stopped that.
  23. So? The seller can drop the price if they want to move it sooner, or a buyer can enter negotiation with the seller.
