Leebske - managed to find any?

WTB; Anyone has or knows where I can get wheels/mags like the ones below for an E60 2005 (preferably Auckland based)

Yep tried to switch it off using the button and wouldnt switch off and no there's no other lights on... TBH don't want to go back coz i know they'll just charge me more money for a flippin reading then come up with "something that needs fixing" ...

Any idea why ASC light would come on suddenly? It was working fine, took it to BMW to get some work done and when i got it back, switched on the car, next thing i know the light came on..Now apparently they did some grooming on the car and the mags are shiny as, so have a slight suspicion however they've been cleaning it could be a bit of water that got into the breaks and kicked the sensor off?? Any help would be much appreciated! p.s: apologies if this has been posted before, i tried trawlling the forum for previous posts but couldn't find anything

Hi all, I'm looking for a belt tensioner (neu-matic / hydraulic?) kit for a BMW 520i (1996)... any thoughts on where i can get my hands on one of those? got quoted $600+ Any help would be much appreciated!

lol would be good except ill have to wait till payday as i just forked out a couple hundies to get windows done n i still got a few imp things to do - brakes and rego!

Found this site talkin bout installing a cup holder and console for an E36 and is definitely quite handy since they dont have any cup holders.. quite silly really but i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get one here in NZ? http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showt...d.php?t=1059197

lol that's a bit funky .. yeah dunno bout the tyre thing wrapped around the ligher but beats the one i currently got... none!

Window's working again and i can finally breathe more fresh air out MY side of the car!! lol Thanks to HellBM & Ray the main man himself!

Yeah heard bout the dishwashing liquid and actually did try it but didnt work, and i also tried WD-40/CRC.. nothing as well! Cheers chaps.. Polyglaze worked a treat and man the difference that had on bringing my paint back to life.. WOAH!

Any thoughts on how I can remove sunscreen handprints baked onto my paint without damaging it? I've been told to use Polyglaze wax.. turtle wax cutting polish, polishing/rubbing compound and even dishwashing liquid!! Help!!!

Might actually just drop it by HellBM and they'll take care of the whole thing! Sounds like these guys are onto it so hopefully will all work out.. if not will let you know, thanks tho Heino

Cheers gents.. will try Botany Motor works @Cliff: the clips they said were 10-20 dollars tops, but add labor & GST on top = $100 @HT: i would mate but it was hard to manouver with the rails thing bolted on

Hi all, My driver's side window stopped working bout a couple of months ago and managed to get it looked (first time round) and they said that when they opened the panel it was a $100 to replace the broken plastic clips and put it back on the rails.. got caught up and only managed to go last week and thought i'd ring up see if post GST will add much onto the cost.. now they're telling me that apparently the "regulator" is broken but the motor is working fine and still have to replace the plastic clips (10-20 dollars each at most), some sort of regulator + labour and i was looking at a total of $400 I asked him why the sudden change and to be honest the guy couldnt come up with a straight answer and sounds like something fishy is going on... Can someone please let me know if this guys is trying to take me for a ride or i'm just being a little paranoid and this what it will actually cost me? I had opened the panels myself and i know the window fell of the rail, clips are broken, but the motor is working fine... Anyone know of a trustworthy place in Auckland to get it fixed at a decent price? Much appreciated!
