awesome. nice light.

Shooting RAW yet?

.... and given I paid NZ Post $13.20 today ? to deliver the first cool lot, $40 was a super-bargain! if you're eyeballing the second lot, get in quick before the price increases to cover NZ Post's outrageous pricing and guessworthy service ?

Totally awesome. I guess the incense cones may provide easier interfacing with your form factor too. so with your smoke heading out, you look for leaks by spotting the disturbances in your smoke stream, yeah? only question remains is: which is more effective? Sandalwood, Strawberry, or Karmic Love Scent? ?

Nice work, Pete!

item has sold. many thanks, Francois.

yeah there's a support thread open at the moment about images uploading. I was successful uploading to flickr and then linking, by using the "insert other media" option. flickr is free, good quality, and unlimited storage. Hope that helps. From the images I've seen, a great assemblage of steel and allow, biology, camaraderie. Well done all. PS - Shiny shiny! (this is one of Eliongater's images from above...

deleted - duplicate post. nothing to see here, move along.

where's the fun in that? it's not called the 'micro-adjuster' for nothing, eh?

^^ indeed.

hell yes! those engine mounts, and what he's done to the chassis rails. doubleplusdodgy.

oh bugger, I thought I'd sold both sets! Okay folks, roll up while there's another test set available! Just fifty bucks including GST and Freight!

e30's are better behaved than to provide snap-oversteer #8 ) more video please!

one lot sold pending payment (thanks Sam). Colin, if you're in you can choose lot one or lot two - Sam hasn't specified. I wrote on the coil boxes 'L1' or 'L2', and the pictures will correspond with the label positions. Each coil went into the box it was photographed on. How about that eh? Service with a smile! regards Richard

Hey Bimmersporters. Coils getting you down with misfires? Need some in your shed/toolkit to use for troubleshooting - figure out which coil is knackered before you buy a new replacement? Here's three used but functional genuine Bosch OEM coils just pulled from my N62B44. They were running fine, though getting old. Bosch part number is 0-221-504-100 (boot is 1-220-703-201) manufactured Nov 2003. They're the one with clip fastening, may suit later M54's also - best you do your research. Anyway, $50 for three including GST and freight to anywhere in NZ. They'll come in shiny new Bosch boxes. Just to be clear, they're used coils, no warranty expressed or implied. Can provide a GST receipt if needed. There are two lots: Lot 1 - SOLD! Lot 2 - $50 incl GST and shipping anywhere in NZ

raving about pre-production Uniden R3 being the best thing since sliced bread....

Escort Redline has just been discontinued as at May 2017. Bear in mind "blindspot filtering" is X-Band

I've been doing more reading. Turns out the best on distance/performance is the Escort Redline followed (less than a second at highway speeds) by the Beltronics STi Magnum. Magnum has die cast chassis/casing (where the Redline is plastic), and filters out car nav and distance better than the Redline. As the STi has been discontinued if you want one buy now (late ones have band segmentation). None of the new top-end kit has the long-range Ka band sensitivity of these two. The (German) Radenso models are nowhere near as sensitive as the Redline or the Magnum. Here's an interesting summary from August 2016: http://www.vortexradar.com/2016/08/choosing-the-best-radar-detector-for-you-a-flowchart/ Be interesting to see how those new Uniden units compare to the two kings.

I know you're all tired and shagged-out after a long day's driving.... can we have more photos and trip reports, please?

^^^ This.

looks like a bloody brilliant day out! awesome. love the pics too, Dave! I paricularly like the elevated shot above. Really sorry I missed this one.

and with a barn for extra billeting, a lower-north roadie destination!

(I'm not biased!)

sell the lot, buy an e60 545i and that 4x4 you were thinking about. "suits you, sir" sorted!

also, if you end up installing new battery on the e9x series, you'll need to code for it.
