  1. Welcome Josh - +1 on check out the Club - which is affiliated with the RDS...
  2. I'd love to Alan, but after reviewing my E53 expenditure(!) since 2016, I need to stick with it and enjoy it...
  3. Nice example and GLWS... agree with @qube ...
  4. Damn! Loved seeing this at events when @BozzaFC owned it...
  5. Average showing 16.7l/100km at the mo after being away at the BMW Club National Meet near Taupo 335i DD is showing 10.9 average and the X5 4.4i sits around 15.6 - both urban use figures. Bearings - done ; Vanos line - done! In no way shape or form does adding X5 M really make sense - but ... life is short so fun matters!
  6. Hmmm... could be tempted It would need to be my daily driver I suppose - I'd have to then let go of my E53 and 335i... I will think on this!
  7. Nice example in a bunch of ways but yes $20k is something of a stretch.
  8. Congrats! What was the motivation for the change? Quite different beasties I suppose
  9. M5 update All going well ... Got Tony from Wheel Magician Welly to tidy up the two right wheels - much nicer and I can stop grimacing when looking at them. No before pics as sorting these was a 'might as well do it now' decision 335i 1 rim tidied up - never got around to this after buying the car back in 2019... X5 Have had the brake light trifecta pop up randomly when cruising along - then on next restart, cleared. Jon read the codes and it was reporting 'brakes hot'??? and pressure sensor error So it has been in for a thorough service... replace faulty viscous fan hub checked diff oil levels, replace transfer case oil as it was dark brake bleed install new ABS pump - to cover the pressure sensor error, and I've had the new ABS pump sitting idle since it came with the new ECU installed some time ago replace leaking washer motor fix puncture in spare wheel I do like the X5 but it hasn't exactly been... hassle free!
  10. Such a handsome vehicle with MPars and in silver 👌
  11. Stunning example @Camberley .... @Breaker was this your one?
  12. Yes - two nice, rare E53s up for sale! 4.6is is the rarest but the 4.8is is arguably a better vehicle. Despite the higher KMs I think $8K is fair given the amount of work done. Biggest jobs on these are chain guides and trans rebuild(!) - which will likely have been done already given the KMs. I'd love to switch to one of these special editions but have sunk too much into my 4.4i which is on 248KMs. 🙄 I don't really know what makes sense any more
  13. Welcome - and the E36 looks great!
  14. We hope he joins up! Glad you enjoyed your time with the big V8
  15. Continental Cars are at least focusing on BMW... MGs are goneburger to Gazley... and yes fingers crossed for positive change and more general brand enthusiasm/support. Lots of work to rebuild their profile, image and reputation and we can only hope that the new owners inspire the staff to warm up and get enthusiastic. Leaders/owners can have a huge impact.

  16. Welcome Elias and +1 on silver E91 Msports ?
  17. Welcome Brian and congrats on the new vehicle! Looks great
  18. Welcome @DonB123 and congrats on the M4! Hardly ever see M4s around Welly - my old mate Darren had one until he switched to an R8... That said, there is a M4 GTS here in the Club
  19. Thanks for sharing your journey with this Adrian- especially your fantastic photography!
  20. FYI @martyyyn on the Kapiti coast has a 535is ... awesome car! @XSDUP hope you can make it along to some local events. https://bimmersport.co.nz/forum/26-wellington/
  21. Nice example and congrats Kevin! Drove a 535is last year and thoroughly enjoyed it!
  22. @martyyyn... I think you're thinking of European Leather Care in Petone - they do replace sections of leather where required. Andrew at Fibrenew does great work - he's sorted my X5 seats etc, a couple of steering wheels etc ... https://www.fibrenew.co.nz/wellington/
  23. Lovely example and only *1* owner - impressive. The Style 38 wheels are rare too...
