Are you planning to join us on the roadie, or do you need to sort some stuff before doing another sizable trip?

Congrats to you both!

Welcome Alan - E61 MSports are great Hope you can tag in to the roady on the 27th!

Fingers crossed dude .... I've been through a number of seals - still lose a little on the driveway but not much at all.

Welcome Aaron - beautiful vehicle and you've got good taste in beer too

GLWS Hans!

Welcome Shayne - nice Z4! +1 with @Olaf hope you can get some events going down south!

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1321198583 $15K mixed kms due to lots of rebuilt stuff "Set up as a Race/Track/Targa car she(Ella) has had close to $55K spent on her including the original purchase price. The motor is still the original 3.5 Litre straight six, blue printed around 12000K's ago with a race cam, high volume fuel pump, bigger air box and hand made extractors. Coupled up to a 5 speed manual box with competition clutch. Suspension is Bilstiens with coil overs and the front end has been completely re fabricated - 3 Degrees negative camber. Front brakes are from a late model M5 and the rears are from a V8 850BMW. Adjustable internal brake bias. She is fast, at around 265 BHP, but her handling and braking capabilities embarrass a lot of modern vehicles on the track. She has a full cage a 4 point harness, but these are out of date and will need to be complied if you want to go racing. OR, I can take the cage out and re install the interior ready for the street. She will be sold with a new warrant and at the moment the Rego is on hold. Will put 6 months on when sold.

I think it is to do with the rarity and the aesthetic.

Preemptive maintenance completed: major servicing, replaced radiator, EDS suspension units, ECUS, power steering piping, driveshaft etc. includes original BMW handbooks, sale brochure, and two keys"

Hey Dan and welcome to the Welly crew! We've got a road trip on the 27th if you want to tag along - either driving a non-BMW or as a passenger There are some beaut 330s around - and Herb's has had a bunch of work done.

Nice - Crossing is great - looks like you got a good day for it.

Good spec indeed.

Welcome back Steve (No that I was here then ) Chuck some more pics up .... As much as I think black leather is the sensible choice I like interesting interiors.

Just beautiful. GLWS Brent - should go quickly (in every sense).

Hiya Christopher and congrats on acquisition of the classic Look forward to meeting you soon!

I'm just going to say it again. I like E53s in Blue.

Looking at my old X5 manual I downloaded - it looks like the 'Service Engine Soon' warning. "If the indicator lamp comes on either continuously or intermittently, this indicates a fault in the emissions-related electronic systems. Although the vehicle remains operational, you should have the systems checked by your BMW center at the earliest possible opportunity." "An illuminated lamp informs you of the need for service, not of the need to stop the vehicle. However, the systems should be checked by your BMW center at the earliest possible opportunity. Under certain conditions, the indicator will blink or flash. This indicates a rather severe level of engine misfire. When this occurs, you should reduce speed and consult the nearest BMW center as soon as possible. Severe engine misfire over only a short period of time can seriously damage emission control components, especially the catalytic converter." "A fuel filler cap that has not been closed all the way will set off the Service Engine Soon lamp. When the filler cap is not properly tightened, the OBD system can detect the vapor leak and the indicator will light up. If the filler cap is subsequently tightened, the indicator should go out within a few days."

Frustrating. I reckon ask to see the fault codes, or take it in somewhere with a decent scanner with the full detail

How have you got on with sorting it?
