  1. i am interested but need to get rid of my pajero if i did it.Do you already have your seven seater?
  2. i find this line of constant retailer bashing somewhat tiresome,and naive to the extreme.Perhaps the business model is old fashioned.Maybe it will all come right in the upcoming "market adjustment." I am sure some of you run your own businesses,and even if you dont you all must realise how much cost there must be to have a large showroom in the main street of a city full of very expensive cars.How do you expect the man who runs that business to pay his way.?They have to have huge margins to pay the bills.There is no need to equate that to a mugging. So the opposite extreme to the BMW dealer only sells crap?
  3. must be rotary motor trimmers,its the same address
  4. where are the wheels?I live in wellington and get over the wairarapa a bit.There is another fella with a big truck
  5. there is a place in Hanson Lane..In wellington,buggered if i can remember the name.He did the entire interior of my 120d in leather.Bloody good job too
  6. titnts should never prevent another motorist looking through your car to see oncoming traffic.A lot of people dont think of this i beleive.
  7. it is no more expensive to run a bmw than any other new ish car.Try taking a honda or toyota or nissan to a dealer or specialist garage.The biggie is the labour costs,and all the decent garages will have vey similar labour charges.Parts wil be about the same from any decent garage too..
  8. 37k in 12 years?Let your freind know that for some that is the exact opposite of what a car needs.That means very little use at all,or a lot of very short runs.Neither are actually good for an engine.So for some the low mileage is NOT attractive
  9. i dont think there is a manual e60 or any variant thereoff in NZ
  10. been thinkin about that myself.I think you had a sweet setup there good compromise weight to power.Depends what you want i suppose,Everything has a compromise element. For myself i think a nice manual 635 would do the trick,perhaps with,as you have suggested before a slightly hot rodded M30
  11. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1063587895.htm 540 6 spd there is a bit there actually,any 1 series manul will be a lot of fun they have briliant sterring and brakes http://www.trademe.co.nz/browse/categoryattributesearchresults.aspx?advanced=1&rptpath=1-268-&key=1630017441&page=2&sort_order=motors_default and something a bit left feild http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1046573199.htm
  12. if they have dollies it doesnt matter,jack the car up and put the dollies under the rear wheels.Ask BMW who they use.Maybe wise to get the front bumper cover off?
  13. you say thats like it is a bad thing...i reckon a 530d manual would be awesome....
  14. you might get a manual from the UK,but manuals are often poverty pack there
  15. No just a bit of a closet two stroke lover
  16. kx 500 also a candidate???
  17. this will be an interesting tale.Is a 750d a 3 litre triple turbo diesel?.Sure will be interesting why some one just walks away from what would have been a seriously expensive car.

  20. its alo an optical illusion created by the increasing width of the skirts towards the back creating a shadow line that makes it look lower than it may appear
