How many km's out of those tyres?? Will be great knowing all that stuff is sorted. Can you roll over another warranty?

Got around to fixing the passenger side 'pork chop' this weekend. Had a much better line up with the rubber piece on this side. Before: After:

225,245 km Oil and Filter change Penrite 5W-40 and BMW filter (had to order from Auckland...guess my car IS old) Been chasing a coolant leak which turned out was the elbow that connects the expansion tank to the radiator. Ended up having to silicon the new elbow in as it was still leaking despite the new part ? anyway, all is fixed and no more coolant low light. That second O-ring at the bottom of the new elbow turns out is a spare as there's no way it stays there when pushing it in. Since that was a $3 part and BMW couldn't find it in their system I got it from FCP and got a new fan shroud while I was at it to make the shipping worth it. Old: New: Since I bought the car the toolkit screw had been partially snapped off meaning the tool kit would randomly fall down, recently this started being a full time thing and everytime you opened the boot there would be a tool kit hanging down...pretty annoying when you are trying to wrangle a baby buggy in and out. I went out to pick apart and got a new one...albeit it's not black it functions as it needs to. another $2 well spent.

I only need the front passenger, would you sell separate?

Installed a Mtech II 370mm steering wheel.

Hi. No sorry they are sold.

ha, I guess so. I'm still planning on replacing it eventually.

M-sport sill trims?

Not mine but guessing the same one? Looks gorgeous.

224,000 km Weird clicking in the cabin has been solved. Turned out it was the seatbelt receiver's old plastic guides being noisy...took abit of detective work to figure out where it was coming from, lubed it up with some plastic friendly grease and it's nice and quiet now. Replaced drivers side door seal, it was on the first list of things to do.....finally got it done. old: New: man that feels good. I got a new lens, 105mm Macro......took it out for a little test run tonight. I also put the sub back in the boot. It really rounds out the sound nicely...the wiggles never sounded so good ? Should probably vacuum the boot sometime too..

I'm keen if Boston isn't. ?

there's lots of threads asking about it but none that actually have done it.

yeah, I think mines trying to catch on fire? I would love to delete it as it’s real noisy but haven’t been able to find a DIY thread that actually resolved it on the M62.

As per title, I'm looking for a secondary air pump for my E39 540i. part number: 11721433958 Would need posted to Wellington. Cheers, A.

^^ my order from FCP turned up today too, no GST ?

E12, Seatoun Wellington. Sounded great!

1000km since the transmission work. Had a very aggressive jolt when shifting from 3rd down to 2nd for a while but that seems to have chilled out now. This morning out enjoying the current Wellington spring winds.

+1 for speedfactor, I got my koni sport shocks and Sachs clutch kit off Speed and they were brilliant to deal with.

Wow, looking good!

Did you go stainless brake hoses or rubber? MBI is probably your best plan for the gearbox if it's available? Then you would be covered for the guides too? I got off lightly I think @4K for the rebuild of mine, but that's because @rusteee had already rebuilt the box not that long ago!

Mines in the front, @hunter has one in his E39 too but don’t know if his experience has been that great?

+ 1 for the GROM. Bluetooth + AUX + power, fit's nice and tidy. Worth the money in my opinion.

Cool, if I were to do this again I would line up the rubber piece on the car first, rather than referencing the original in the garage.

I got some knockoff trim (not sure what you call this piece?) off ebay yonks ago but never got around to fitting it. Spray painted it black and glued the rubber piece on (see how long that lasts) and installed. The rubber piece doesn't line up perfectly with the bumper but I prefer it to having the smashed piece of undertray.

Car is back on the road. Another receipt for the folder... Looking at this photo I'm guessing that left broken mount is what they said they needed to weld up. Went home via VTNZ for a WOF. Got pulled up on the LED halo lights and the headlight adjusters need to be replaced, but it was a pass. I see the notes say the brake hoses need doing soon too. So nice to have remote locking and stereo controls on the steering wheel again. Fingers crossed this drum lasts longer than 40,000 km.
