Livi

Livi will be a car model!

She just said she would.

Since when did i have blonde hair ? and gee thanks for putting words in my mouth i dont think i ever said that to you missy i was too busy cooking thank you LOL

That would be something i would of done today! definetly had one of those days today one of those The day after Sat night days . so maybe she was having one of "those" days

Really nice Red E3O spotted last night at the intersection at pakuranga shopping mall heading onto the motorway , i was stopped at the lights right at the front verrrrryyyy nice definetly made me stare!!! lol

omg ^^ just like me i was thinking the excact samer thing , i was thinking since when did telemarketers ski? hahaha aw man def one of those days today!!

Silver E36 at Bastion Point... im sure it had bimmersport stickers! very tidy!!

Hey! i havent moved there yet! give me a week and a half!! more then welcome around at my new place!! drinks on and cock and bull isnt to far .. hmmmmmm

I approve this home very muchly! awesome house! im going to be basically your neighbour next weekend im moving literally up the road from you poker nights oonnn haha if i remember how to play!!

its different , loving the money pit on the side , i think the evo needs that written on it! haha

not into the mags , but an interesting car , does look like alot of moneys gone into it. but doubt it will sell especially because everyones keen on swaps at the moment instead.

Thats awesome!! love it!! wonder how long that took him

haha...

Yeah ive heard it aswel. doesnt sound loud enough to need a cert of anykind. (unless a new hole has appeared)

pretty sure my wagons standard system is louder.

Its a bit strange how the cop picked and chose randomly what offenses he would let you off and which ones he wouldn't tho. Ild prob get a workshop, or pit stop to have a look at your exhaust , and get them to write a letter to say that the exhaust is infact standard and write in to wellington police station and contest the fine.

You might be able to get off, just like you can with the new "damaged tyre" parking warden fines.

Yea i was thinking it was random as he didnt fine me or sticker me for all the things he listed when he cold of easily done so? yea if i get a fine ill just do that take it to a testing station then write in

What damaged tyre parking warden fines?

I've heard your 320 Livi. I actually remember asking whether or not it was standard. It has a really nice tone IMO. Wouldn't say it was loud though.

Thanks Nick!

Yea its got a real grunty deep sound to it , but nothing that would be over the limit IMO .

how do you know the exhaust is standard,somone may have changed it before you got the car

I may be a girl but i do know a standard exhaust from a modified one. Ive had the car up on the hoist and its definetly standard.

thanks for that graham , didnt know there was a thread about it! sorry!

The height im not fussed about , my only issue was the exhaust , which is looking a bit clearer , sucks that you have to pay for it to get checked , and then not get money back when its under but meh what can ya do! money money money!

anyways ill sort it , may have to trailor the evo everywhere now though

competitors licence? how do i get this? lol *newbie*

I am so keen! sounds like fun! woooo this will bea good excuse to paint a car in insane paint!

Welcome to the land of BMW's!! enjoy

my 2am text was awesome meh cop magnet oh well , so is the evo. anyway thanks for the feedback , ill try find this legislation somewhere!

as i said south auckland cops love me northshore ones hate me

but yea it was coming yet i still havent gotten in trouble for the height? some 18's and itll be fiiinnnnnee!

The exhaust however i am not silencing , standard exhaust i would love to see them greenie it for that!

if anyone comes across a copy of the new legislation let me know!

thanks,

Livi

ok i just thought someone might actually have information about this new legislation he was talking about since most of you are usually rather "onto" it with the law stuff.

But ok then case closed i guess

P.s im not complaining about my licence fine!! i fully agree with it , its the comments that he made that i was talking about , argh i give up! lol maybe my hungarianess isnt making sence!

I think he is just trying to keep south aucklanders off the shore which is perfectly reasonable

Just saying "your exhaust sounds a bit loud" doesnt make it so. they will have to test it on the rd side before they can sticker it.

haha! yea good point , he saw i lived in Papakura and it was all over for me luckily itll be botany in 2weeks time! might help my case

Just that he said it was " way to loud and i will get green stickered for it and that i have to get a silencer"

So legally they cant sticker you unless they measure it?

Well its not loud , as i said its definetly not a greenie , my evo would be but def not the bmw . either way i was just wanting opinions on how i could handle the situation if it arises again but they actually try to greenie me and also whether anyone has details about the new legislation.

Yea mine has that unique tone , like it sounds grunty , but either way i would really doubt it was loud enough to be greenied , trucks are louder then the bmw i just want to know what to say to the cops incase they try green sticker me next time for my exhaust :S

Ok this is about my exhaust bud lol i said i admit my car is low

"Anyway thats fine as i know my cars low"

i read that as him putting his notebook up ya skirt and having a look and saying it looks under the legal limit for ....uno

moving on.......

bit retarded on the whole exhaust thing, IIRC the officer doesn't have to even take a measurement to sticker ya, its all up to the way he/she feel's about it on the day.

Omg... lol Sooooo we can all tell what your minds thinking about! haha

there has to be some kind of arguement against that? especially if its an un modified exhaust? its all standard?

So driving home from my bfs house out in Whangaparoa last night in Manly town I pass a cop this was about 2am , the moment i past him i knew hed do a U turn since i was the only one on the road , i was following the speed limit and everything! anyway as i thought he does a U turn , and even before he put his lights on i had pulled over.

So he was a rather youngish male cop , he asks what i was doing out this way etc told him i was driving home. takes my details etc walks away. i waited for about 15mins for him to come back , so i got a $4OO fine for being on my restricted which is fine , i thought id get that *even though south auckland cops have never ever given me a fine for the amount of times they have pulled me up!* anyway he goes to the front of my car looks at it comes back and goes "its a bit low isnt it" *first cop to notice* i said "yes its lowered on jamex lowering springs , its on 15's , once i get 18's for it , it will be fine" he takes his note book out and puts it under my side skirt , "yes yes its way under the legal height" * so where are they actually meant to measure this? isnt it the lowest part of the car? the chassis? or what?*

Anyway thats fine as i know my cars low , he didnt fine me for that. now comes the funny part.... he goes you know there is a new legislation coming out right? and i go what do you mean, and he goes well your going to have to do something about your exhaust its way too loud or else your going to get green stickered for it .. now i couldnt help myself i absolutly pissed myself laughing , he didnt like that too much , he asks why i thought this situation was funny , and i said for the pure fact that the exhaust thats on my bmw is STANDARD , it is the exhaust that came straight out of the FACTORY. He didnt say much other then i'll have to go get it silenced! grrr

How can a factory exhaust be loud ? i was so tempted to say if you think this is loud , you should hear my evo , but didnt think he was the jokey kind of guy!

But in all honesty do police have the right to say such nonsense? I mean give me a break .

anyway thoughts on this matter? i had to write something , was trying not to rant! just thought it was a bit wierd a police man who should know the law to say that. Are police now taking advantage of this stupid exhaust law? And does anyone have any more info on this "new Legislation" thats coming out?

Excuse the spelling not having a onto it day today!

Woooooooo yay , wish i was back there now instead of doing my trip back in Dec dammit! could have watched it live

my car is that low has been for over 5 months now and my diff is fine?
