That looks cool, if i wasn't selling my car I'd have this. How does it differ from the Dynavin? Was it difficult to fit? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Fitting the front tyres and having the alignment done today. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hopefully the guys in the M Tech division knew what they were doing! JC gave me a BMW X1 as a courtesy car ha! Quite like the iDrive though. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Agreed. I think most people would do it much sooner. My post was more referring to having to take it into BMW at that time so you would get the dash reset, pay them for the service and get the stamp. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

That's the dash readout that changes with how the car has been driven . I'd personally change the oil at least every 10k but I've only done 2k in this car since the inspection II 5 months ago. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Thanks. Going into Jerry Clayton tomorrow to get some slow oil leaks sorted. Will probably fit the new front tyres soon and do tracking as well. Nothing will need doing until the oil service due in 22000km Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Hey - cheers for the offer but just looking for the sale. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Booked in at Jerry Clayton on Friday to resolve the leaks. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi, Up for sale is my M3, would prefer it to go to an enthusiast off these forums if possible. Few key points: - full BMW service history - inspection II done in November -22500 until next service (oil) - vanos bolts, seals and oil pump disc done as preventative during the above - 164kms - great overall condition - no issues with boot floor or sub frame - new unfitted front tyres included - $23200 Full details here: http://www.trademe.co.nz/708344686 '> http://www.trademe.co.nz/708344686 - picture and detailing courtesy of creepdontsleep Please let me know if you have any questions.

Spotted this beast in Adelaide Rd earlier... Anyone off here?? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

That's a good post, thanks! I would get it ppi'd for sure. As I said when buying the 3, I don't mind the odd 2k bill every few months but frequent bills of 3k+ wouldn't be very nice. The big ones seem to be the red cog and the clutch its self which appears to be made of cheese. It may be the case that I just enjoy it for a few months and flick it on... As long as I got 35k+ for it if be happy as I've never seen one that low anyway. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Haha yeah, it's steep I agree, but would much rather spend $200 on the tank of the M5 than $200 at the pub on a Friday night! Wow, buying brand new must have hurt, but his must be wedged anyway if he can afford that! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

The consumption in the M3 has never bothered me, in fact I think it's pretty good for what it is! I've never been a fan of that statement, I mean I don't have 200k in a lump sum but I earn a decent amount each week to be able to run somthing silly...i just wouldnt want 50% or even 30% of that income going to a toy i do 200kms per week in Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Yeah, the looks are pretty controversial but I don't mind them. Maybe I'll just keep saving for the e90.. It's just 10k on top of mine seems like a deal too good to pass up! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Good read, such a shame the gearbox sucks.. Or the smg should I say. They did manual ones for the US market, that would be sweet. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

This might be an odd question seeing as I’ve only had the M3 for about a month but there might be an opportunity to put 10k on top of mine to get the M5, which is a very good deal (especially for what I paid for the M3). Don’t get me wrong the 3 is a beast and it’s great fun to drive on the weekends.. it feels better than ever after coming back from the Inspection II having the Vanos parts also fitted. I guess the main question is how much more to run than the M3 is it, roughly in terms of servicing and parts (not fussed about petrol, as it’s just for the weekends). I’m probably more worried about parts breaking and a like for like. E.G the SMG pump on the M3 will be 1.5k or so, is this similar to the M5? I’ve searched for the tyres and brakes and while it’s a lot it’s alright. What about the clutch? I heard they don’t last all that long.. The one is question has also apparently had a vanos upgrade but it’s a UK import. It would be good to know what other bills this beast could potentially throw at me. If anyone has done this transition or is in the know I’d like to hear from you! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Your car looks nice! Bring it out for a spin when I get mine back from its service? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

On York Road.. Someone must know this beast? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

That's shocking! He's ruined that car. The V10 in an unmolested M5 sounds glorious!! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I wouldn't mind one of these at some point.. Definitely not a car you buy for fuel economy. I've seen a white one around Wellington... Pretty sure it's not an actual m5 though.. Can anyone confirm that? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Oh yeah? Got any pictures of previous work? What's your process and how much do you charge? Cheers Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

If I had a garage I would have already bought the kit to do it! Sometimes living in a city apartment sucks!! Thanks for the offer

Not sure if it's worth the risk of just rocking up with a bucket and sponge.. Haha. There is definitely reasonable scope in the market to open a diy place I think in Wellington. Sure loads of people are in the same boat as me where they enjoy washing their car but wouldn't take it to a car wash. Business venture anyone?? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Hi, Are there any keen detailers in Wellington or know of anyone that would like to do my car? I'm looking for a light cut and polish to get the paint looking good again, and then sealed. Let me know your process and price and we'll go from there. Cheers Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah came out a treat Geoff, cheers for the help!! Your E92 could do with some love now.. Ha! I heard the truck place on Seaview road closed down? Will have to check it out! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
