the car is shipped here anyway buy it,drive it take it back to BMW go home.....:)

gosh i would be there to see it arrive and ask to watch the pre delivery!

bunnings have half sheets of treated ply(1200mmx1200mm 12 or 17mm) i think it is "non structural" so it quite good value

dont care is proabaly not actually correct.Probably more like the effect is rather neutral and that is ho it should be.Oue tax/investment scheme is far from neutral

a cgt should be part of flattening and simplifying the whole tax system Make it more difficult to avoid /evade taxes then everyone pays their share.There is a line to be tread here.If they make investment in property too difficult then is the government going to become the landlord of choice?Cos mum ans dad propery investor will have fled

well surely the dealer can be another"data point " if nothing else.

thats a good answer.The car has to be priced well because of the perceived "expense" of re rego ing.The condition of the car may be worse than a registered one because one may assume that the current owner couldnt afford to keep imaintained OR there is a problem he was not prepared to fix.

newish M6, was a flat almost completely matte bronze colour some sorta personalised plate....

for the record the ruc is now about 7 c a kilometre ,ie nearly 700 bucks for 10000k.Diesels also pay a higher rego as there are no ACC levy on diesel .Inly buy a diesl if you can give it a good run most times you drive it,At least 20km some of which should be highway.This will give the dpf the best chance to stay clear.

I bet Brent has a used one.Prolly same unit used in e32 too maybe e 36 as well

houses you say?Half the time the plans we get to build a house are seriously flawed.The latest house i am doing has a truss layout and a floor slab layout that dont match....and thats normal.And its it is far far from a complex house.Once that is done a lot of the very simple stuff in the factory is "automatic."The most complex of those machines is very labour intensive to keep going.

200k?.That would be an absolute minimum i would think.The "average" car of that age is probably a lot closer to 300 k.

the grilles are hideous.I am somewhat biased as i even dislike the grill evolution from an early to late e 34

123d in manual would be good too i reckon

because our market these days is a sub market of aussie.I think it is unlikely they would have different cars for aussie and nz at the basic mechanical level.

seems to have been sold at 1947 ?

if aussie dont have them we wont

my memory must be fading then Ahh saturday mornings yes you are right

i would say a lot of people would be similar...hmm might do some work on the car this weekend,off to the dealerr for this and that...wtf closed.No wonder most people who do their own work get parts from the interwebz

i cant understand that,although its not unusual.The mitsi dealer parts dept was not open in the weekend either.The Toyota dealer however is a different story altogether,although that may have been special as they had just had the workshop floor "replaced" so they were there this morning

parts department closed.!!?!?!? i am sure they will have bottles of coolant on a shelf!Maybe even in the showroom!

i sold my pajero recently on tm the bullshitters were all texters, fair questions were asked on the auction i answered all the best i could ,one of the questioners hit the buy now button.It was a good price at 16.5 k .One guy immediately texted i will give you 12k, i said the dealer 0ffered me 13k as a trade his response was 12k cash....really?.I think "normal" things priced welll will attarct real buyers on TM.

yes the safety chain is there to safegaurd against the trailer coming of the ball(not hooked up properly) or in the unlikely event of the tow ball parting company with the towbar.I cant recall how the chain attached on my 120d but i know i had one because the daughters boyfriend didnt hook the trailer up properly once.It must have been part of the structure that is added to take the towbar in the first place

i got my 50 mm ball bmw swan neck machined to accept a convertiball.You could get the 50 mm ball machined to 1and 7/8

f20 is a bigger car. e 87 is quite short interior.Cant be compared in size to a normal front wheel drive hatchback of similar exterior diemension
