  1. i think this depends entirely on the MBI itself.My understanding is that the work must be shown to be done....the simple stuff would be no problem i would think.Keep recepits for oil etc,may be a pic or two .But this is only my understanding.Perhaps someof the MBI holders can shed some light on the actual requirements
  2. i am 6 3 and although getting in was a wee problem withthe seat all the way down head room was ok as was driving position and comfort.There is very little leg room in the back seat though.I had a e87 hatch back
  3. have you actually driven a 1 series?.They are not roomy cars.
  4. very nice car with almost every option at that time.
  5. can be prone to some flooding
  6. do you know what the centre bore diameter is? It is likely to be either 74.1 or 72.6 (or thereabouts).Most bmw 5 and 7 series are the 72 mm but the e39 5 series was 74.1.Hence a lot of aftermarket BMW wheels are 74.1,which means there is a SHIM(i cant remember the proper term) to suit the 72 mm fitment
  7. you cant make an omlette without breaking some eggs!
  8. it doesnt matter if its a bolt or a stud does it?.All i know is if i google "mitsubishi pajero wheel specs it tells me it has m12 x 1.5 If i google toyota landcruiser 200 series it tells me it has M14 x1.5 so the information is readily available but wether that information always goes with the wheel is another matter.
  9. when i had my 535is i had quite a long conversation with someone at BMWNZ about the whole HD12 thing (thats what that batch of e34 were called).I think it was a BMW car club AGM at BMWNZ headquarters.
  10. the consequences may not be as dire for other cars but the pajero collects a lot of debris in the same area
  11. If you want to make a short day of it,over the hill, turn right just before featherston to go down the west side of Lake wairarapa,(ocean beach),over the east west access road(the turnoff is easy to miss) then onwards to lake ferry hotel for famous fish and chips
  12. Interesting thoughts on electrolysis and hydrogen as fuel for a steel plant
  13. probably true of ANY car parked outside a lot!
  14. some much newer models(ie 535d) have had three plates in their less than 10 yr life/Most of them started with BMW plates
  15. i think there is a garage there that used to be a bmw service centre i was gonna have a car checked out there.
  16. some of the questions are quite fair....
  17. i think he is saying that 4 or so 8mm dia 8.8 grade bolts will be more than sufficient?i would be more concerend what the bolts actually bolt to.
