Just drove it 600kms home. Wow. 9.2L/100km aint bad! Will post some pictures soon because there are buttons that i have absolutely no idea what they do.

Give me a call when the time comes still have a 3.0 block and heads sitting in my shed.

Had a BH Legacy with the 3.0 flat 6 from a BP and the close ratio fancy diff gearbag from a type R WRX. Smoking the back wheels around cones at lots of rpms was a hoot. The BP is a much better handling platform to start with. Just gotta be weary of those Jap import turbo hand grenades. No pressure here to fly the company flag, thank God. I briefly looked at a VY SS but you dont get much car for your money compared to the BMW. Couldve bought a Vectra but i still have a soul...and a brain. Have spent the last 8 years in Japanese cars with the drivers seat set all the way back to give me just enough leg room. Cant wait to get back to the much better euro style driving position.

Hey chaps, Joining the BMW crowd this time. Will be picking up my car on Friday so no pics to share yet. Have been lusting after a luxo-barge since I sold my XJ6 so hoping an E39 540 will fit the bill. Based in Whakatane, parts manager for the local Holden/Suzuki dealer. Have been a Subaru fanboy since the beginning but I think i've grown up a bit and would like some more sophisticated engineering. This will be my first daily driver in 8 years that isnt a Legacy. Not sure how I'm going to cope with the lack of AWD. Have owned a decent variety of 2nd cars and a couple of bikes. Drove an E46 318 for a few months and was severely annoyed by how good it was. Had been a member of Clubsub for years, am still active on oldschool and can occasionally be found in other corners of the internet. This should be interesting.
