Contrails

G'day, I am searching for L&R side 51mm Shock mounts from an ABS model E30. For some reason my 325i has 45mm, I am guessing one of the previous owners changed to a 45mm. Cheers.

G'day, I am looking for a rear bumper for an E28 M535i (mtech kit). Preferably in Diamond Schwarz if I win lotto. Regards.

Good spotting!

That's debatable. One can easily argue that even if his application was processed correctly, he could have still obtained the licence - especially considering that he did not have prior convictions or was known to the authorities. Secondly, the Terrorist himself was interviewed by the Police and was still granted a licence. If that sentence doesn't highlight the flaws in the system to obtain a Gun licence, then I am wasting my time posting here. It was indeed a Human error to have missed the prevention of the Massacre. A Gun range owner had warned the Police about the terrorist, yet they failed to check up on him. The problem is not one officer making an error of judgement but the Terrorist managed to slip through quite a few cracks in the system. Revision of the Gun laws is just tightening one of the cracks for the next guy.

September 11 was the first and only time Terrorists used Flight training to train for their mission. But it highlighted a major loop hole as to who was deemed fit to receive Flight training (even recreational). Only after Sept 11, background checks became mandatory for flight training. How many law abiding citizens take up flight training? They still have to put up with the new rules and legislations (at an extra cost). Airport security became a pain to deal with and go through after Sept 11. But it was necessary. How many terrorists have airport security managed to catch/stop so far? None, but every law abiding passenger has to be screened the same way. Same way this was a first 'White Supremacist/Terrorist' committing an act of Terrorism in NZ (the Christchurch shooter was not known to Authorities prior to the attack. Some might argue that he was a Law abiding citizen then). The Christchurch attack exposed the fact that the Gun laws were way too relaxed in NZ. Yes, it is a pain for you law abiding folks to have to put up with the new rules and legislations (just like dealing with the security screening at an airport). But it is helping to add another filter to make it harder for Terrorists/Gang members to get hold of weapons so easily here in NZ. These are only reactive measures to make it harder for the next guy. The Terrorists will always come up with new ways to cause harm.

Well, I am gonna get the ball rolling and take the piss in the Q&A.

Shouldn't you be asking that question to the people handing out Firearm Licences to Terrorists and Gang members like hot cakes? There was a youtube video showing how easy it was to get a Firearm Licence in NZ just after this massacre had happened. Might have been taken off cos it was a proper caught with your pants down moment.

I think it should be mandatory for a person applying towards a Gun Licence to first have a Psychologist assessment. I remember reading that this is the law in Japan (don't quote me on it). In saying that, judging by the amount of half evolved Chimpanzees driving on the road these days, even Vehicle licence applications should require a Psychologist and Basic hand-eye co-ordination assessment.

Lovely colour too!

Weren't you looking for a new car Kyu? ?

The M5 wheels are just plain wrong. That colour is a bit elderly so to speak but with the right wheels and kit, you could really set it off.

That's nice and in red!

Looking for one seat only. Auckland based.

I did suspect that. But I sometimes tend to be as clueless as a Choir boy in a Whore house.

People buying replica wheels that are out of production for a long time makes no difference to the Company going Bankrupt. There's other factors such as mismanagement & poor marketing which is probably what was the cause of the downfall. The Corona virus just accelerated it. Look at Rolex watches for example. How many people wear fake Rolex watches? But Rolex still does well because of the marketing and the hype. P.S. Genuine BBS RS wheels are more over priced than houses in Auckland. BBS should have brought these wheels (15"/16") back into production seeing the demand for them.

I just bought one but if it doesn’t work will msg you.

That Chrome SMG Badge seems to go up in value more than an E30 M3 on trademe.

Was $45k last year.

I loved the DCT in my E92 335i when I had it. Really fun to drive. Dinan/H&R springs but make sure you upgrade the shocks too. Bilstein B8 are worth it.

Those 135i are such fun cars. Manual/DCT?

AC Schnitzer Wheels especially 3 piece on that E36 would be epic!

Hi, I am looking for a genuine set of BBS RS 003 16inch. Regards,

E28 M535i Auto - €19,900!! WTF?

The good thing about VTNZ is no appointment necessary and it was for the Suzuki Swift. Pretty sure it was $59.00 last year.

$67.00 for a WOF check at VTNZ. And an hour long waiting time.
