my experience of bike racks is they need the flat surface of the tounge as part of their stability.The only other way i can think is a receiver type bike rack ie the bike rack itself is welded to a square section which slides into the receiver in the car which means you will need to have a nice insert in the bumper

Jeepers Hans (if imay ask) what happened?

when i test drove my little120d i wanted it as soon as i let the clutch out!If you havent driven a modern BMW disel try one.pref a 30d or more,or if a 20d a manual.

spanish???

well i was close

so let me get this right...you drove 419 km and nothing happened but bmw dont care?Who for the record is "BMW"

depending how long the new tyres have been sitting they can have a "flat spot" which should go away

i did many many ks on the 120 d one was a full lap of the NI including highway 43 no problem at all esp the approx 1000k on approx 45 litres bit( welly napier gisborne whakatane tauraunga auckland otorahonga turamanui whangamomana hawera wanganui welly) The ride was a bit harsh on that car (much better with pirellis than either bridgestones or continentals) but i never had any issues with grip or feel with the run flats

they can go some distance at a slower speed 80 km hr i think.Thy have very stiff sidewalls so less flex = less heat build up when"soft".My 120d had a tyre pressure system based on comparing the wheel speeds(using abs system).The soft one goes faster.The only time i has a warning i didnt even know i had a leak.When I got to work (about 5 km) it was 20 psiMy tyre place wouldnt repair it.I got a new one,and was able to keep it topped up in the meantime

nope, thats why i said what i said

5k..... i am picking an e46

"old" car reality 101 .1

yes less than 2 hrs later it was "his"

rego system.I recently sold the Pajero and following NZTA own process adised the buyer that he should fill out the change of ownership form and hand over the recepit to me when i gave him the car so i knew he had done so.This was about 9 am on a Saturday morning (email) When i went to get a new warrant about two hours later he was already listed as the "registered owner".Surely that should be triggered when i tel them i have sold it!

they wont turn you away the can change the oil ,read codes and replace lights bulbs etc like any other BMW

they dont want people to know about it esp motorcyclists with multiple bikes

give the vin to a bmw dealer nd they can give you a complete build/options sheet

the misfire at start up or idle.?Does it misfire at start up them its fine?That was my first symptom of a blown headgasket.The heat on one side but not the other is the heater valves in the engine bay.Well known M30 problem

there is a place out at Porirua but i just cant think of their name!

are you going to go back around the cape?

i like being able to do just about any trip without having to stop to fill up

it may not be the bargain of the century but a nice E39 is a nice car.Its nicer than most other $4000 4 litre sedans

thats a good buy isnt it!?!?!?!?

and the xenon parts are seperate to the housing,as long as they fit the housing no issue.Having had xenons on the 120d i would always get them now if i could.Mind you the new toyota has LEDs and they seems perhaps even brighter

you mean east cape itself?That is a marginal road .Whilst perfectly navigable,one day a whole peice of it is going to go missing...its already pretty narrow in a couple of spots..
