@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...
-
Extremely happy to eat a large serving of crow on this one
-
Japanese plate holders and odometer with combined mph/kph scales are the two big giveaways
-
10 owners / 9 plates - happy to see someone giving it some love...
-
Seems clear that the fast wagon market will be Alpina only going forward because BMW would rather you purchase this...?
-
Seems reminiscent of my recent experience, Winger having ordered the wrong part. One reason I wish I still lived in Hamilton...?
-
Pretty sure backing sensors and reverse camera weren't standard on these ? Nice looking car nonetheless, GLWS
-
GLWS - what's the replacement?
-
Washed the car for first time in several months! (Was relying on Winger doing it when it went in for EGR cooler recall but wrong part ordered -> no clean car)
-
and it's a wagon ?
-
Auto 38 FTW
-
Carjam will only show WOF details up to last change of ownership unless you pay for a report
-
So my EGR cooler replacement has been re-delayed because the wrong part was ordered... Oh well, got to do my commute yesterday in a Mini Cooper S instead
-
not sure I'd want a car with an odometer graph like this
-
3/4 ain't bad...(red E87 notwithstanding). The blue one is a manual, maybe the only one in NZ?
-
should be possible to replace the rear lower plate surround panel on the boot lid (saw this on M539 Restorations on YT) for the full euro-spec experience. looking good!

Setting up a VM for ISTA+ and ISTA-P and other tools
balancerider replied to Driftit's topic in General Discussion
Another VM option for running ISTA that has been recommended for us Mac users is Virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox Haven’t tried this yet but keen to give it a go as there are no windows computers at my place... -
NZ new cars tend to be the worst for this, historically sit around for ages before registration. maybe a little less so now
-
not saying it's a great deal but 6 years newer is quite a bit in car terms.
-
That's lovely. There's also a very nice 325is in the same colour that I think belongs to dealer principal at Coombes Johnston, seen it in there a few times
-
The trailer module may need coding to automatically switch off rear pdc / adjust stability control with trailer attached (via ISTA)
-
only a year old when it came in so probably ok. agree its a bit pricey. @Gaz front PDC is the only thing i'd miss, has adaptive lights and high beam assist so not a terrible spec
-
This looks bloody good in space grey and would go nicely with 165kw too. Be a great long distance daily. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-2687187628.htm

Like the 135i wheels on it, they really are a good looking car. What's happened to your towing eye cover?
