  12. Did anyone have any experience with Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 tyres? Thank you.
  13. Andrew and Gilmore. They are certified BMW paint and body shop in Christchurch. I am sure they will be able to paint your wheels in OEM colour.
  14. Its not just M5s, it's E36s, E34s, M3s etc etc. I can't remember how they've explained it, but it does not effect the streering in any way. So I wouldn't really worry about that.
  15. I could be wrong, but I think most of BMWs are a little lower on the driver's side... mostly on the rear.

  21. So what is the max camber you can have??? I hope it is not uder 2 degrees of negative camber....
  22. You don't really have to run your car in idle for too long. In my user manual it says; run for no more than 30 - 60 seconds if the weather is cold and then start driving. This is because if you run the car in idle for too long carbon dust stars building up inside your engine (because in idle not all the fuel is burning out), which could make some damage in the long run. Personally, I usually wait until the gauge arrow reaches the blue mark on the temperature gauge. After you started driving your car, keep the revs between 1,500 and 3,500 before it reaches operating water temperature. Then drive it for another 15 - 20 minute to warm your oil up, and you are safe to thrash it.
