How many years was the gtr in development for?

Sure the m5 has a lot of development too but the gtr was purposefully built to out perform the 911 porsche.

And i can imagine a lot of money got put into it, do they even make a profit on it? i.e veyron.

Watched some of the r&d videos testing at suzuka etc.

Oh and the m5... not liking the styling, the e60 looks a lot nicer. V10 all the way, could potentially be a keeper, just like the e34 m5

Here.. buy this.

Priced low as it was a trade in, great colour

Yep a good car, not sure if I will part with it for that money. May sell the wifes car instead.

Bump bump bump

Oops sorry i forgot to reply..

Yeah could be keen, maybe a month away though.

Have a few warrantable matters that i need to sort first, headlights and new front tyres.

But would be keen for your proposal.

There is a 318is down here in qtown.

Not listed anywhere but i think it was around $5000, boston green and has some nice wheels.

Mightve been leather too? looks really tidy anyway.

Can get the number and photos if you or anyone is interested

13750...

Thats some good negotiating skills right there..

I would assume its ok to say, other people might be interested in it, plus better to warn/look out for members on here.

Also its no one on here so you wouldnt be stepping on anyones toes.

Hmm..

Maybe hit up Brenthartge im sure he will have a few.

Those window rattles are nasty, very common for the nuts to loosen, usually don't have to pull window out to get to them though. You did quite a journey by the sounds of it.

It was the top left one right behind the airbag, there is a hole to tighten it but was hidden even when the window was up.. Could kinda get my hand on it but was easier to pull the window out.. Re tightend all windows too, some had a little play.

Yeah i was halfway along the desert rd when we were stopped as there was a head on crash so had to go back, and was going to miss the ferry, took the scenic route along the forgotten highway, stopped in hawera to see the people that bred my malamute and then caught the late ferry.. Can highly reccomend bluebridge, the have now got a boat with cabins! Had a shower and a sleep while crossing. Awesome.

Have driven dunedin to queenstown twice too. Visit the parents.

I left Auckland on the 26th of December and as of today have driven 5342km..

So roughly 1000km a week, cars been great, aside from the oil seperator valve/ccv which had a horrible scream and smokey tailpipe when i started it, and also my rear view mirror leaking on my leg but thanks to ray at hellbm sending them to me i was able to cure. It mustve had a slow leak for a while as there is a noticable difference in acceleration from stand still.

Now.. new rotors, pads, sensors, front tyres, tie rods and new headlights it'll be like new lol

Also pulled all my doors apart and greased all the clips and have only 1 rattle to fix which is the cruise control buttons slightly shaking.

My passeneger door had the worst, the window guide rail was completely loose at the top, had to pull the window right out to get it.. The screw was completly undone!

oh and a pixel repair :-)

Here we go..Bmwtips.com Ipod/mp3 install

Sound meter might come in handy for $15, is it ok for measuring exhaust noise?

Just found this for all you south islanders that have failing pixels.

Also bmw specialist that has bmw in their name or a place that advertises that they can work on euro's including bmw's

i take it that ex japan ones arent as good as nz new then..??

Oh im not sure at all, just speculating about the e60.

I know one gripe was to do with the satnav Gps conversion..

^ is a forum member.

Which may not seem that bad but its nice to be able to have full functionality of your car.

If you decide to buy from kiwis cars, or any dealer id highly recommend to take it to botany motorworx to be throughly checked.

^all straight from Japan..

Not sure on the differences between nz new and Japan e60 however.

There are a few differences in other models.

Hry was keen as, but warrants due in a few weeks so need them a bit earlier than April.

Im sure if its muffled and has little to no noise itd be ok?

Most cars these days are pretty quiet.

Can I still order if I pay today?

If i were you id go put the money in today and pm him your order.

A few hundred?

I took both rear cans out and just put in straight pipe, only $100.

Think someone om here had a 530i? And put in a muffler at woolf for 250?

Search woolf muffler on here, they put up a video maybe username: help! i can't remember.

The bodykit i guess i could pay 450 you pay 300?

The seller is a sponsor on here so could maybe work out something with him re: organising this?
