heavy car high gearing

same here..."cmon Paul get into the 21st century" when i said i would rather have a 1 series in manual....funnily enough when my manual diesel became available i had to make my decision immediately as they "had 15 salesmen all over NZ who want the car" Sports suspension plus older run flat technology would be brutal.

d2s or ds2???

i have xenons in the 120d allan,and i think it has the same bulbs so we can check em next week

d2s...hmmm i wonder what bulbs i have ????If they are the same we could check them next weekend??

slippery slope....motorcyclists,cyclists,rugby players,diyers,"performance car" owners....ACC is not suposed to be "fault" its the community looking after the injured.....

best thing to do with leahter is make sure its kept clean...its so easy just give the seats a quick wipe over with clean water when cleaning the car,then quickly dry it off.My 535 was pretty good and tahts all i did with a recondition a couple of times when i had it

true,tis worth a drive though...i would say a chip would be interesting

the first e 60 manual i have seen... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-456418077.htm

sounds like you being pretty precious too.....its NOT a M3 so why badge as such...be as honest as the BMW dealers themselves and just have a M badge at least.

its not far for you....any thoughts of somewhere to meet besides maccas?

havent you ever seen clarkson make the LOSER sign? just realised this comes in the same morning as the ghymkhana...

i would have left without paying after the first f**k up

the last two tyres places i have used torque the nuts with a torque wrench after a quick brrrp with the gun.and they use a star type patten.

i thought this one was that one

this was Brents car wsnt it?

wonder how much the newest ones would be....

its much more simple than that.....once you get to a certain level of income,then every dollar over that ammount is spending money...,and for a couple say who both are near or over 100 k a year they have serious spending power.....assuming that they are mortgage free etc.. actually not even mortgage free....

so bmw aint that bad then.....

not true...do you have any idea how much it costs to run a business on high street?The number of bmws and bmw parts sold here is TINY.The margins placed on the cars and parts is the only way BMWNZ and the dealers themselves can survive.Dont forget we have the population of a globally small city over a rugged rugged country. buy everything form overseas,and the whole country will stop because only the farmer will have jobs...this is the end point of globalisation because EVRYTHING is cheaper overseas,including the skills and resources to do YOUR job

the covers help witht he noise,and i guess if you cant see it it doesnt have to look nice...

OT but are these replicas sorta legit with BBS?Or is the fact that the BBS is red enough that BS cant do (or cant be bothered with chinese law?) Not Hatin just wonderin??

they not rare surely.....low Ks maybe but that is about 3 times the $$$$ i got for the 535is many more miles but much better spec

ray is prolly your best bet and i guess a vist to a bmw dealer may also do the trick.

Silver E46 Coupe on the corner of Northland Road/Kaihuia St,saw you wave but i couldnt see who it was.....
