Haha .. pretty good, had to replace running with something less impact on the body.

f**k ... Were obviously now joint income .... I get my last bonus and she says its yours to spend how you wish ... rad So her birthday comes around and I think, Im gonna buy a couple of decent mountain bikes for us both to get into blah blah... Anyways, My birthday rolls around and she says .. I got you your mountian bike for your birthday as you got me mine for mine. no present for me ...... WTF .... Anyways .. for xmas I said I cant be f**ked ... lol

wtf ... how'd I miss this build. Love the detail in the photos. Good stuff for going for it. Cant wait too see it all in and loving the painting etc.

What did you have it attached to the car with ? I dont think Ive ever seen the suction mount fail like that? here is a vid I did with a ex DTM car which was fine mounted on the outside at 240kph on the striaghts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKXYUv1x9Yg car looks quick btw

Wheel chair and movies !

Just post it as an attachment here so we all may point at laugh at it

Thanks for sharing dude ... lots of bimmersporters have accedents and the only thing you hear about it is when the wrecks turn up at rays. Real glad it didnt end up worse .. and as others have said while you might have had xmas plans ruined .. youre still here and thats at the end of the day what counts. get well soon.

I'm sure if you saw a parking warden sliming around it .. in your best Billy Colony voice walk up to him and say "oi, .......... f**k off" Love those cars ... thanks for posting it ..

unfortunately a bi-product of entitlement in this day and age. My last set of second hand 18 x 8.5 LMs cost $800 6 years ago .. go figure

Dont piss around .. just phone Westifalia Automotive and get the real deal and skip the dealer mark up. Just in the process myself of getting a westifalia tow hook for my e39 540i .. Already have the carrier installed. Will get the BMW factory motorsport bumper valance which has removable flap too No nasty number 8 wire style holes cut into your bumper.

Please sort this out with brent directly. Im sure you can come to an arrangement. locked

No, is a hang over of parts from my old e46 330i I didn't install.

If I remember might check them up at rays tonight.

Enjoy

Im not sure ... here is a photo of my s50b32 if that helps.

The initial rattle is just lack of oil in the head and caused by the remote oil filter housing not sealing properly and oil draining from the head. Easy fix with the correct installation of a new oil filter. The next could be a few things. The chain guide wear out in these engines after about 170000ks give or take 10-15k. I would try to find out when the last oil change was done on the thing and more importantly .. open up the cap and dip stick and check the oil .. is it gluggy or milky .. EG degraded or moisture has built up in the oil. The oil channels may have had a blockage. Is the car noisy on idle hot ? I would get a pre purchase inspection done by one of the specialists around. There are tell tail signs on the M62tu motors when you scan them with live data when things start to wear out.

last chance before it goes in a box never to be found again

Also a simple read out from the airbag module will also reveal and recorded incidents.

Good stuff.. Kind of cracks me up lots of people buying e46's and trying to do their rangi toyota corolla / repco stereo mods to them .. get themselves all crossed up because a lot of the lines are digital / data buses. Glad their are people like you out there

cheers for popping over today Jooles .. Ill get to work on it in a couple of weeks when I surface from moving house.

Shoe! *swoon*

it will be your country open on your car. Other cars have both. You should be able to replace it with another variant and have both. Hopefully your LCM supports it too,
