Does the 190e Haynes cover much of the 2.5-16 variants?

My guess is that there must be damage to the carbon fibre core for them to write it off. As far as I know, there is only 1 place in NZ that can repair it

Interested to hear what the one place that can repair them is? I work with carbon for a living and would be keen to give a wrecked i3 a go.

Haven't been ballsy enough to use steel wool, but I fully restored six panels of custom glass worth $250K each that had been damaged by acid rain using 3M Perfect-It rubbing compound on the end of a De Walt buffer @1500rpm. Followed by 3M Machine Polish, then Ultrafine.

Making this car related, I used the same method to remove concrete stains from my old man's Merc windows.

That red label in the engine bay is an Alpina ECU label, but it's the part number for the Alpina Motronic 1.3 ECU which ran the M20 in the C2 2.7.

Z4 rear hubs are direct fit into the E30 trailing arm if you're stuck for solutions in the rear. +3mm track increase.

I've got one, send me a PM!

Sold on TM for $1500 just before xmas, buyer be VERY aware.

That's Lani Fogleberg's old car,  pretty sure she sold it for $12K back in 2009.

MK Motorsport wheels.

EC Mercedes. Emile has looked after all our Mercedes for years. Top notch work.

Indeed Nath! For sale too, hoping for a Powerball win next weekend

Try this one

Straight up porn.

Something AMG would have done with the 1M

Schulz 190e Hatchback.

Makes more sense with the 16v kit

Heart-guh

More Hartge Japan rims.

Got a set of 16's sitting beside me

The weld is between barrel and lip, the face knocks out, in effect they're the same as BBS LM's.

Here's an album for your edification http://imgur.com/a/zHQZf

Pay particular attention to the last photo

Spotted that in the pouring rain in Newmarket on Tuesday. Bloody legend for not being a pussy about it. All round GC as well.

Edit: solid tagline on your IG Nick

At this point Jon I'm just stirring the pot, carry on

Yep perfect fitment.

Would look porn with some 16x9's out back.

I love the refinish, nice work!

Jon from JKS Euro is in Auckland this weekend looking for a set of Borbet's, hope he sees this!

I've always pronounced them Bor-bay, bor-bet sounds kinda stupid, but Moet & Chandon is pronounced Mo-et not moway, so there you go.

Bump

Nice, thanks.

Close ratio G260.

You can check your option sheet for it if you've got it, option 206 - probably easier than checking under the car.

Excellent service from them in the past.

After a 260/5 with an M20 bolt pattern.

The serial number for the box will have either TNN or HM around the edge of the bell housing, as distinct from the more usual 260 which will have NW, ANB or TNW.

Cheers.

With that sort of budget I'd be looking at 335i's as well.
