Bloody nice work on the oil turbo lines! Going through this saga at the moment and they're an absolute bitch to even get to in order to inspect. Do you know what brand your replacement AN lines were? The Whitbread AN lines aren't much more than a complete set of new lines from the stealer, so I might have to go that route. How was the return line from the top turbo back to the block?

That's from a blocked elephant drain, water and leaves can pool up in the scuttle if it's blocked and create havoc - definitely pull both sides apart to expose the firewall on both sides to see what you're dealing with. You can get a double whammy where the water seeps in from the blower motor area and pools around the accelerator pedal, and then if the car is jacked incorrectly (ie: all of them) it can crack the underseal away from the shell and water will work its way to the underside of the accelerator pedal mounting point.

Didn’t think that would last long Rohan! You still Aussie based?

White mt1 on BBS RS on the back of a car transporter in National Park. Think it was the chch car for sale recently?

Just a pair or all four corners?

Possibly! A friends wife has gone to winter 18’s year round so I’ll check if the 19’s are for sale.

Brave of a dealer to be selling a ringer.

Oh no, that is terrible news, I am very sorry for your loss. Sanjay was an absolute font of knowledge, we enjoyed many conversations over the years going far too deep on various bmw related topics. He will be greatly missed.

That’s an awesome 130! I’m not in the market but that would be bought immediately if I was. A credit to you!

After 50,000km of nary a single drop of oil used, and having an engine that could double as a Driza-Bone, I sadly found the garage full of smoke this afternoon. Couple of drops of oil on the top of the undertray directly below the front turbo, and a very wet looking line as per the pictures. Kinda hard to picture with a torch in one hand and a camera in the other, but I suspect this is the oil feed line (#3) in this picture? http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E90N/Europe/335d-M57N2/R-N/feb2011/browse/engine/oil_supply_for_turbocharger/ It's very much obscured behind the turbo heat shields etc etc so will need to investigate in the morning when the block is cold, but does this sound right M57 gurus? cc: @HELLBM

HK audio, and tiny nav... Who on earth specced this?!

How much for the Performance wheel Ray? Will be up in a couple of weeks.

Was a nice summer car for Queenstown but!

Sub 300km until the 180,000k mark.

Buy this so I can fit the E30 into the garage beside the Forester.

Silver M3 best M3. Looks bloody awesome, good luck with the sale!

+1 on stock mapping. I've gone back from 790Nm to stock on a 335d and you honestly don't miss it in the real world. Throttle controller is nice to have when you're in the twisties but pointless day to day.

Routeburn taxi

That’s a weapon Ray!! Is that a 2 series front end swap I spy?

@HELLBM done any M57 8HP swaps yet?

The Flossman GT2 kit has never gelled with me. By all accounts a seriously quality bit of kit, as you'd expect for some 12K Euro, but it just doesn't work on a road car. Interesting choice to respray a Frozen Edition car, could we infer that a Singapore paint scratchier ruined the initial paint job and this is the end result?

Absolutely transformative. Can't believe how much better it makes the car look.

Absolute beauty! Definitely one of (if not) the best in the country for sure.
