  1. Maaaybe... Q3 turned out to be just a coil fortunately. #sorted
  2. Here's a couple from before we picked it up... had been sitting for a couple of years.
  3. Update... E60 M5 Going great - thoroughly enjoyed it on the last two club runs (Wairarapa and Feilding). Need to sort the paint bits and pieces F30 335i Daily driver going well - still get a bit of rattle despite the engine cover being re-fastened by two mechanics 🤔 E53 X5 4.4i intermittent ABS trifecta continued - so had it in at Driscolls for troubleshooting - faulty brake light switch replaced, steering angle sensor checked and recalibrated - but it ended up being a faulty pressure sensor in the brand-new ABS pump from the final MBI claim!!! Good to have it sorted but there goes more $$... 🙄 Plenty of labour and a $600 pressure sensor. Noticed a clicking on right lock when in the car park at work - in at Driscolls again and turned out to be CV joint... RF boot was torn etc. Looking at my notes in here - this was a 'fix soon' item from 2019... 🤦‍♂️ Driver's seat leather needs a clean and tidy up again... Xmas holidays job I'd say. Wife's Mazda Atenza - sold via TradeMe and replaced with a 2012 Audi Q3 Quattro S-line 2.0TFSI. She loves it and it is a nice vehicle, but ... not so happy with it today! Check engine light, EPC (Engine Power Control) warning light on and engine running rough. It's getting towed tomorrow morning for dealer and MBI to resolve 😕 And in other news I have acquired a 2001 E38 750i SWB individual - which Jon is working on at his leisure... Special? Yes. Sensible? Unlikely...

    08 E60 M5

    Muuuuuuch better. Nice work 👍
  5. Does anybody know anyone that owns an Isetta? We'd like to get one or some together for an event in the New Year If you own one, or know anyone that does, please contact me. Cheers!
  6. Having seen this in the metal, it is a stunner - and I'd buy a car off Stu ANY day of the week given the care he puts into his vehicles.
  7. Welcome @the_don46! The BMW Car Club organises a fair few events through the year and have a monthly club/pub night... keep an eye on things here: Wellington - bimmersport.co.nz - or better yet, join the Club
  8. Do like an E61 Motorsport (especially in white) - prob my favourite touring design... GLWS!
  9. In a moment of supreme idiocy (and 'I saw it on the internet') I muffler deleted my E60 545i and the drone almost made me physically ill. 🤮
  10. That's a beast for sure, but too nice to take off road
  11. Congrats on the M5! Have an E60 M5 myself and just had the rod bearings done - absolutely love it. I'm a sad sack and track the M5 market so have seen this one come up for sale a cople of times. Love the individual interior on your vehicle - piano black trim plus light leather and headlining - very unusual! Nice to hear you're bringing it back to stock....
  12. Welcome Mox! Glad you're enjoying the 325i Msport 👍 dunno about that 🤷‍♂️ best to order a key from your local dealer It is *possible* to retrofit newer BMW systems but *complex* and expensive; otherwise try aftermarket but will still cost some $$ so you only want to do this if keeping the car longer term... N7-E90 Pro navigation system, suitable for BMW 3 Series E90-E93 – Dynavin 3 & 4 - Series - BMW - GPS Multimedia (avinusa.com) Either stick to run flats - costly, more road noise use regular tyres and hope you are lucky throw a space saver in the boot buy some tyre goop for emergencies
  13. Hi all Helping a fellow BMW Car Club member sell their beautiful Z3M Roadster... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3133883715 ~146KMs on it, asking price is $40K. Very rare, and very fun! If you're interested, contact Raewyn on 0272750656.
  14. While I like keeping things original, this vehicle looks fantastic.
  15. Welcome Lance - those V8s are great
  16. Absolutely gorgeous Gary! We have one of these in the Welly club...
  17. Yup - have applied the RainX sealant from after doing the PlastX...
  18. Have to say I'm a fan of Meguiars PlastX - super fast, easy headlight restoration job. Very little work compared to the Rain-X kit and makes a real difference. In fact, I'm always looking at peoples' headlights and thinking 'give me 10 minutes and those can look great'! 🙄 Used this on the M5 and X5...
