@hunter both don't do anything to the beam as far as I can tell, I just like the modern look of the white light. I did see these recently though https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-12129-led-bright-white-angel-eye-bulb-upgrade-e39-e60-e63-e65-x5-x3/ Would be keen to see how much brighter they are.

Yeah genuine. Yeah I thought it was abit extreme too, especially since last time he was here I showed him them and he said yeah no problem $120.

Hi, Wheel Magician don't think they can fix my wheel and they believe it needs to be sandblasted and repainted. Who does more extensive wheel repair work in Wellington....or Auckland? Wheel in question: Cheers, A.

Perfection^ ? That makes sense. My old one had black stitching, this new one came out of the boot of that grey M5 with the insane air intakes that was for sale recently, but it was facelift so who knows where this wheel actually came from. Best $100 i’ve spent.

Not sure what the deal is with the different coloured stitching? Anyone know?

2185XX km Few cosmetic things tidied up today. Bonnet resprayed It was always a little dull but it really has faded to the point it was starting to get a big rust patch in it. The Body Stable in Miramar did the work. Before: After: Seemed like a good time to put some gloss black grills in and new badge. New mirror glass: The last one I got to replace the leaking one was for the smaller mirrors, now we are back to big mirrors on both side Steering wheel: I wanted the facelift one but with the airbag recall and not what it was murky waters. I picked this up for a bargain on trademe and fitted my airbag which isn't a takata defective one. Big difference is this has no leather missing from the wheel itself and also has some nice tri colour trim. I gave it a going over with the toothbrush before installing. before: after:

BUMP

Those off sets look alittle high to me. My Mpars for example are 18x8 et 13 and 18x9.5 et 25. Also you need to make sure the center bore is 74.1 too. PS my Mpars are still for sale ?

16 x 7.5 4x100 stud pattern et 25 offset set of 4 located Wellington $1500 tyres are low, will remove tyres to make shipping lighter at your cost if desired. 3 wheels in great condition, the 4th has some cosmetic paint bubbling, wheel magician quote was $120 to fix. I paid $2800 for these ($2500 exc tyres) 3 years ago.

As per title I'm wanting to upgrade my brake booster to the bigger one. part number: 34311156643 https://www.turnermotorsport.com/BMW-E30-Parts/c-180-bmw-brake-master-cylinders anyone have one lying round before i get it from the states? Cheers, A.

Center caps on.

Thanks @qube !

Front ET13 Rear ET25. I don't believe these will work on an E46 (according to google).

@qube was running these on an E91 IIRC.

Bump

Between the 3 of us we could almost get a bulk discount ?

So good making use of that Autosure warranty. Had it failed as in it stopped working or failed as in the propeller had disintegrated?

Finally put the style 5's on. Center caps are off until I get the tool. The center caps are also a slightly different silver, not sure what to do about this. Anyone refurbed a set of style 5's and have some pointers?

Yikes! let us know the culprit. Have you done any cooling system maintenance on the X5? What's it's mileage?

Haven't wired the microphone in yet, need to find more time to thread the needle for that. I've tried to fix the pixels but failed, my dash ones are perfect though (touch wood). Replaced cup holders @qube , probably not the first set it's had either.

Installed a GROM unit as per @BozzaFC recommendation. It is a bit pricey for what it is but it does it's job very effectively. I got this one: https://gromaudio.com/store/bt3_adapters/bmw-mini-98-05-bluetooth-adapter-car-kit-behind-the-radio-connector.html with the 3.5mm and USB charger cable. I'm loving being able to run spotify via bluetooth and still use the steering controls to skip tracks. Bit of ghetto install using the posi things....should probably solder them eventually. NB: you gotta disconnect the CD stacker at the stacker also.. No more tape adapter for me ? Is it even an E39 if your pixels ARE working?? ?

OK cool, thank you. I didn't notice a difference in length in the front, other than the nut being 22mm instead of 21.
