  1. Bump - @HELLBM @BM WORLD?
  2. bigger question is why you would spend 20k on a 320i? (even if Autosure were paying, speaking as a previous owner of a 320i)
  3. Apologies - was thinking of 740d with the D30T0 in it...
  4. for extra confusion the 640d has the same twin turbo N57Z as the 335d (but with lower torque)
  5. F15 30d’s with the n57 engine are labelled as 35d ex-Japan / USA. Similarly in Japan they call the 520d a 523d and their 120i F20 is actually a 118i
  6. then you just get to pay the government $72/1000k instead. the value proposition is crap for light diesel vehicles (speaking as someone who owns a 335d)
  7. CEL on BMW V8's is a feature, not a bug right? ?
  8. This someone on here's old car? @Secniv?
  9. WTB rear bootlid seal and boot handle (bit between the number plate lights that actuates lock) for an E91 (LCI if it matters)
  10. Similar price to a slightly newer X3 35d. Much rather have the alpina personally...
  11. The things the Alpina wins on IMHO - subtlety, colours (that green ?), and the fact they still put a V8 in a wagon. I’d rather have the supercharged V8 than the V10 in the M5, mainly because bork factor...
  12. Rather interesting - best budget for a new EGR system with 13k km in 6 years but a rare beast nonetheless... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2750607415?bof=sG1mAAhU
  13. Time for a remade number plate!
  14. Thanks - can this be done remotely? Car is in Wanaka.
  15. How complex is coding a second hand one of these? Been quoted 1700 for a new one (to fix a bulb error!) on Dad’s E91
  16. Diamondschwarz E30 M3 at Scorching Bay this afternoon ?
  17. @aja540i If people buy the M3, I'm sure that they'd consider an M5 Touring...
  18. @E30 325i Rag-Top I'd given up hope and was going to order a G21 Alpina B3 Touring! Can't believe it but very happy...
  19. Extremely happy to eat a large serving of crow on this one
  20. Japanese plate holders and odometer with combined mph/kph scales are the two big giveaways
  21. 10 owners / 9 plates - happy to see someone giving it some love...
  22. Seems clear that the fast wagon market will be Alpina only going forward because BMW would rather you purchase this...?
  23. Seems reminiscent of my recent experience, Winger having ordered the wrong part. One reason I wish I still lived in Hamilton...?
