Yes, they do consolidation. they do re-packaging. they wont split an incoming shipment. You have excellent control through the web portal or the phone app. basically they everything that you shop does, more and better. You choose your carrier... I get option on two versions of FedEx, DHL, two versions of UPS, and "Budget" (no consolidation, 7-14 days). DHL is only one doing batteries now. You get your own address. All the carriers deliver there. It's in Florida. I find that using FedEx I get it here in 4 days, as long as I press 'send' before Thursday US time. Unless they're really busy. Look here: https://www.myus.com/benefits/ Buy here: https://www.myus.com/welcome/visa/ - this way you get: • Set-up fee waived (US$20 value) • 2-year free Premium membership (US$120 value) • Save 25% on shipping for first month • Save 20% on future shipments • Personal Shopper service can make purchases for you premium gives you 30 days no-charge storage. Then they just charge you a per-day, per package rate. Theyve always packged well - "the right amount". Hey, I'm not here to sell you. You just seem traumatised from You Shop. There are other, service-oriented offerings. HTH.

with MyUS.com, YOU CHOOSE your carrier! I ordered from FCP on Weds evening last week, parts arrived at my doorstep this morning. W00t.

it's pretty simple. or at least it has been for me, recently. When I get a notification from the tracker that says 'held in customs' I call immediately. Eventually I get put through to the Brokerage section. there's usually a bit of to-and-fro while they accept their calculations are wrong. Then I pay visa credit card, and it gets underway. Usually this is done within a business day. HTH. Or, just use FedEx. They're absolutely awesome.

yep. just google it, you'll find plenty, and it's consistent. oil analysis - regularly - appears to be a wise precaution. Here's a pic: Image from M5Board.com

I like it! I like it's good.

most inconvenient.

QH most certainly are an OEM. Just not for the e60.

As you have the N52B25 engine, it is most likely the electric water pump. You can certainly start with the thermostat... 12 years old, prime time for a cooling system overhaul. As Glenn indicates, it's unlikely to be cheap. Still, good luck with the thermostat..

I looked at them for e60 parts for my 545i. Not sure about QH (Quinton Hazlet) brake rotors... only choice there.

action-packed day today. Washed, and then dropped in the e60 to have the Bond Car option delete executed (with thanks to MBI from Autosure). It should be out of sick bay in a few days, no longer appearing as puffing billy! And, while out with the kids in our e46, window regulator failure. So dropped that in to Page European as well. Will be ready tomorrow. So we caught the bus home, and I pressed our trusty 855-T5 into action. It had sat on the side of the road since late January, after I last washed it. It started first go, and I took it for a 30 min drive (after an appropriate warm-up). I really must get it listed for sale this week, it needs a good home to continue the love. Only 196k kms on a 21 year old car; and it feels and runs well.

great work with the engine overhaul, well done! Looking forward to seeing you at a meet soon.

nice trailer sailer; what is it? and is that a super-monster englarger on your trailer?

which foam gun did you get? Is it one for your water blaster?

they have you on a regular pickup from your garage!

They (German number plates) most certainly are illegal on the road in NZ. The rule has been quoted earlier in this thread. The hawk-eyed police officer who pulled me over with mine, explained it very clearly. We had a cordial discussion on the roadside where I was alerted to the error of my ways with my German plates. Not one to push my luck, I subsequently sourced compliant, legal, NZ-issue number plates. Non-compliance resolved. They're an issue when you get pulled for displaying them, they're an issue when they get you a ticket and fine. There is inconsistency in how they are policed on the road, and at the WoF station. If you enjoy playing the odds, knock yourself out! Don't suggest there's any doubt about their illegality, though. That'd be disingenuous.

Hi Gregg, pretty sure you don't need a band expander for e9x - I've been told there are settings you can access to change from Japan to Oceania region. I expect someone will be along shortly to help you out.

nice looking car, Gregg. welcome!

where's yer heat shield, mate?

dropped in to Winger today, to arrange booking for e46 recall on the drivers airbag (replacement). they kindly did it on the spot, exceeding my expectations. Now need to source a new steering shaft coupling (steering guibo). I've seen @Funkyflynz's vidjo on ewetube, and understand it must be the RHD part with heatshield. I'll do this myself, as money's tight. P/N 32 30 6 761 571

yep, or worse, meta reporting. Stuff gets about 30% of its 'news' by reporting twitter or Farcebook posts. Not a lot of investigative journalism going on. Ooops sorry maybe I should have put this in the rants page.

I'd need the dimensions of each box, as well as the weights.

you're welcome here, mate. this is your country now

forget youshop. madness. search MyUS.com visa promotion.

@TermiPeteNZ could this be your driver training/spare vehicle?
