Just those two, but the damage could be internal.

. Car did a beautiful 9l/100kms over the weekend ... travelling 1200kms and beautiful weather down to napier. Today, not so nice. there is talk of the car being written off.

a BMW diesel is the best diesel you can buy. TORQUES. ultimate oildrinking machine. and why the hell not. the M550D is faster than the M5 in some aspects, and is more tractable. X5 M50d, is PHENOMENAL. Don't knock it until you try it, dudes.

... I have just had an accident with the e34 touring, no panel damage, just rims and tyre damage, but i need to have the shafts and brakes etc looked at. where can I have the car looked at and diagnosed/repaired? do I need to get it reviewed by my insurance provider? Would appreciate a quick reponse please guys... the car is out in Avondale, any suitable repairers here? EDIT:- insurance is going to review it. :sigh:

^^ ... I got a 9.0l/100kms with my 525iT.... so I think you got a good result. ^ a turbo rebuild does wonders! (at least for my old Subie.) get those bearings looked at if you feel difficulty spoolinh.

all those bloody benzes from that era whine.... even my uncles c240 W203 whines to heck...

The Alpina is in many ways a better Z8 than BMW's rendition, due to the fact they understood its suited to being a grand tourer. As opposed to an all out sports car.

Please let there be a HiPO 8 series version... with a 6litre V12. please.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/e39/auction-668121995.htm get this instead. JUST 106k kms!

http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/gf11173.pdf interesting... the options list is good.

Darren, if possible, find a place that has easy access to public transport. but the area you speak of is huge and central, I can only wish you luck in finding places to stay.

^ BAM! accidents increase by tenfold due to nobody looking at the road. Speed limits that allow no room to overtake are fallacious.

^ you may be right about that, individual options do not turn up. The followiong is a VIN datasheet for an individual model from singapore. http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bg93971.pdf

man I love kit sets... though everyone I have built in the past have been sold off, when I left the country.

the manual E34 touring? yeah it has been there for a while.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/525i/auction-667446983.htm Interesting colour, low kays. But a motorsport? I may be wrong, but I doubt it is.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/530d/auction-666825923.htm keep the e46 for the missus and get this.... when you can, the price has dropped 4k in the past 6 months

Ronin.

Did a 200kph run in an old e34 520i once(before it became the 528i). never again.

E39 Le Mans Blau M'sport on Blockhouse Bay Road, driven like a loony in morning traffic.

you sound less than enthused, Allan...

^ it had expired in June this year, would I still have to pay backdated rego or revin it?
