  1. Yeah much better price. Reckon the price of diesel at the moment has taken a shine off them though.
  2. 50 grand is G30 540i money though, and they are a far more modern car. I know there aren't any wagons listed at present, but I have seen a couple pass through for that. Anyway, yeah the OP is nice but is 20 grand over priced.
  3. NZ new just means it's worn out and covered in stone chips.
  4. I'll sell you mine for half that. Imperial blue over grey. And that would be overpriced!
  5. I reckon the 328i touring is a solid choice if you need to keep an eye on economy. My 535i is rather frugal once it's out on the open road, the 328i should be more so. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/328i/listing/3552299394?bof=t8nrTqd7
  6. CLA180/250 Is the Levorg really not a good handler? Surprising.
  7. Upgrades the control arms from 130i to M3 control arms.
  8. https://www.repco.co.nz/en/car-care-panel/car-care/polish-restoration/meguiar-s-endurance-tyre-spray-425ml-g15415/p/A1218555?kwSearch=meguiars tyre The gel is also pretty good but slings quite a lot. On my Mas I prefer the tyres to have a nice bright black shine. On the BMW I'm happy with a dark matte black finish.
  9. Don't like the mats. Love the leather, awesome colour and material.
  10. Costs are pretty shitty if things wear out. 4 throttle/idle actuators are a grand a pop, knock sensors $500 a pop. Depends how much you end up needing to replace, you might not have to do much or you might get a string of dumb things letting go. And if you are near bearing replacement mileage then that's a reasonable sum. Things I didn't like about my M5: The transmission is sh*t, they don't sound as good inside as outside, the fuel consumption is gnarly easily the worst I have owned. Other than that, pretty good to drive.
  11. Both the Nilfisks I got had issues. 1 pump failure and 1 the pressure switch is dicked. They appear to have come back as Gerni. I bought the cheap Bunnings Ozito brand one and it works just dandy. Visually it appears to be the same as a Ryobi.
  12. Looks like a sick deal for $5k but a dealer will give you a sh*t sandwich for it and expect you to enjoy.

    Quick rant thread.

    Refuse all you like, but now you know what one looks like.
  14. That OZ 130i is pretty much perfect spec. White on brown, manual, sunroof, facelift.
  15. Use to be with AA and the service at claim time was always good. However State gave me a much cheaper online quote and AA said they don't price match so I went to State.
  16. Weekend away to Taupo/Mt Ruapehu in the 535i. 8.8L/100km for the trip including up/down the mountain and cruising around Taupo. It was into the 7.x range on the way down from Hamilton. Pretty damn good for a large 3.0 turbo station wagon.
  17. Ah I remember putting a pod filter on my old twin cam 91 Maxima, it was good times, sounded great. Funny car as it had as much go as a lot of performance cars in the early 00s. Aftermarket filters make zero or negative performance difference, but sound so good!
  18. Had PS4S, found they were a bit noisy and harsh. Great grip wet and dry though. Swapped to Atturo AZ850s for less than half the price of PS4S and they are just what I need. They aren't as grippy at all, but have enough grip and are comfortable. Won't be 130i sizes though as they're meant for big rigs. My BMW is running LK03 and they are great, even better considering the price. Good all round grip, quiet and comfortable. As mentioned the only downside is they appear to be wearing quite quickly. I'm finding you actively have to search out the cheapest, shittest, tyre to have a bad time these days. Even some of the Chinese tyres are decent now.
  19. Yeah I remember a TV show where they mangled the headers and dynoed the same or better. In the case of my E55 one of the pipes needed a bash to clear the steering column. Probably dropped from 500hp to 499hp or something. Thing was making like 800NM so I was far too busy managing traction to notice any power difference.
  20. Had to dent my e55 headers for RHD. Made SFA difference to the headers.
  21. What a piece of junk. Ain't no barn find, it's scrap metal.
