  1. most freight is calculated on the overall size of the package. my guess is usps will be your only choice(given you dont want to pay 100).I got a set of mtb forks with usps,took about 6-7 weeks cost 35 us i think.
  2. it looks like cain got a gear for free! I thought 540 sports were six speeds?
  3. a block of wood under the jack (and keep it in the car) and a wheel chock may have helped there...At least there should be bugger all ill effects
  4. sheesh mate youre a bit early!!!!Looks like where on for a good turnout,had about 10 cars last time ranging from a a 1970 something 3.0 a few e30's Hugh tunleys immaculate 635,my 535 and a coupla e 46's Now about that clabar.... The "high" pics stellin park or tinakori hill ????,round there somewhere?
  5. nuhin wrong with the driving,the thing(and it does look bloody good) is just too low for a daily driver...i wouldnt go any lower than mine........
  6. a guy at work told me the other day that the new five only scored one star for the crash tests?????
  7. CiA = BMW speak for Coupe,injected,Automatic,the A aint on the car but it should really be used in ads n stuff.
  8. 330 ciA strictly speaking and its a E.......?
  9. what is the history of the car...import?,no of owners?,pre purchase inspection?,how did you get into this situation.Dont get me wrong I would be pissed off too,just a procedure for others wow even the tube (insert?)for the shock is gone!
  10. thats what BMW call the chassis no.I think its very logical.Its easy when the manufacturer sticks to the same system.I am not quite sure why there have been such big jumps lately.....ie e 39 5 goes to e65, 7 series goes from e 38 to e60 you forgot the E34

    1991 E34 M5

    I can only begin to imagine what a 3.8 m5 is like....so close to 100 kw MORE than y 535...sheesh 211 hp vs 340.
  21. I am looking too and the fuji s5500 seems good value.10 x optical zoom lens,a reasonable size for us males to grasp and is 4mp.Dick Smith has em for just under 600.The minolta dimage z3 has a 12 x digital zoom but is more $.With my old slr i nnever seemed to have the right size lens on hand. I dont know enough about digital cameras yet,but i want as much of a slr replica as poss....Macro is close up photography like taking a photo of a bee on a flower from only a few cms away.Any comments on the fuji or minolta welcomed.....

    an //M badge is one thing,but there is one SURE way to check and it aint the only the M power valve covers...... does anyone know if there are any 3.8L m5s here,pref black on black?????
  23. there are no measured emmissions tests but the wof test is supposed to stop any one with a really smokey car or LOUD exhaust .......I guess most wof testers are deaf or like noisy cars....I have nothing against modified exhausts but some of those big bore jobs are LOUD.Dont get me wrong my 535 has a derestricted rear muffler,but there has to be a limit some cars are just too loud .

    Oil Consumption

    200 ml in 3000 ks seems alright to me too.To get the best life from my engine i have elected to run castrol 5w30 synthetic,because of its superior performance overall but mostly because of the 5w viscosity a start up...I offset its cost by running it for the full service light interval.I buy the oil off shelleys,cause by my sums its cheaper to buy 6l there than 6l of mobil one at repcos.I just take a couple of containers,and pick up a filter.I also get my massive bmw cub discount.!
