looks like a lot of car for the money. I've recently been looking at 2012 models thinking 'hey, circa $30k for circa 100kms, I could do that'... F15 more appealing.

hi Ken, which e90 is it?

was it by Baur, or someone else, Graham?

9 Jan 2020, 6.30pm at 1841 Bar in Johnsonville, BMW Car Club NZ Welly Crew pub night, family friendly, dinner and a convivial beverage or two, all welcome!

looks very smart, Paul. Welcome! Plenty to do with the Welly Crew!

my eyes are bleeding! ?

Good outcome! Sounds like it's not bad yet, then. You didn't order the puller as well?

steady on lad, we did see that in the pictures ? ?

Hawkes Bay BMW, surely?

Get the sorted and replace it tomorrow. No matter how unlikely due to current state etc, you'd never forgive yourself if the fruit of your loins was injured as a result. Hopefully in-stock in Napier or Hastings?

quite the opposite. they're trying to appeal to someone who'll buy it without knowing what they're in for!

Score! "Casually looking" is the new Tui billboard ?, top marks on self-depracating humour.

I've used a Bosch foam pad on my Bosch blue random orbital sander, with good results. (random orbital = dual action). However, care must be taken! Easy to burn paint or thin through on creases or swage lines. Also masking up trim etc is bloody time consuming. A dedicated polisher will be a little easier to use than my pad-on-sander.

talk to @Autoglym, he's yer man for quality grooming products and techniques down here in Welly

looking good, Bozza! looks like a golf club carpark ?

6 December 2019. 177399kms 1. Replaced Air Conditioning Drive Belt, and Serpentine Belt. Jon at Auto38 had it done quickly. The N62 in e60 chassis has no tensioner for the A/C belt (unlike the 7er of the time), so ensuring the belt is in a state of good repair, is essential. By all accounts they're a right sh#t to change, so I thought sourcing the tool for the job might be a worthwhile thing. The Serpentine belt wasn't that old, but if you're going to take it off to replace the A/C belt, might as well do it, eh. Next: Belt tensioner and pulley.

Don't worry Jon, the Originality Police will be kept busy counting rivets at the Land Rover club for the next six decades ?

you were making a point?!

DTM circuits are a little different to niu zild roads, though.

the e30 bibles all note that 17's are - essentially - completely unecessary on an e30.

Followed! I saw this one advertised, thought it looked like good bones with potential ??

I've often seen this in southern wellington. a beauty!

Dan, I've had happiness with two Koba batteries. Reasonably priced, seem like good quality. Sorry, no idea re AGM for the e87. I'd say 'likely'. HTH

why yes, I believe he has. Last year's BMWCCNZ Castlepoint trip? ?
