  1. Part numbers for the racks? Hoping they’re the ones that fit E90 as well.
  2. Jeez 3.5v triple pre-outs for sub $200 is bloody hard to beat! The Blaupunkts are great in theory but it sounds like quality isn't nearly as good as it was / for how much they are.
  3. 34 RHD M5's worldwide with the M-tex interior...
  4. Driftit is no longer invited to the bimmersport pipe and slippers monthly meet. Hard agree on brightly coloured E39's looking still modernish, but try find one. Any colour you like sir, as long as it's black or silver. On the other hand though, the alcantara interior in so many m-sport 530i's make them look like a seventies Mercedes, one of the worst interiors BMW has ever done. I cannot f**king stand painted belt-lines when they shouldn't be, for some reason the E36 was a particularly bad offender for this crime. If it was facelift body colour like Sreten's on the green it would modernise the look a bit?
  5. Can recommend Dinitrol cavity wax for the back sides and spaces that will be hidden away.
  6. That ticks all of my boxes - manual 6 cylinder, green over tan wagon, and gold wheels. whhyyyy are they boat anchor spec Simmons! there’s a set of 19” LM’s on TM currently, I wonder what his actual, not, tell ‘im he’s dreamin’ price for the wagon is though.
  7. Someone’s bought an F21 haven’t they…
  8. A reasonably priced M325i from Webbs. Done little mileage since first for sale in 2016 and then again in 2018 as per pics. Sadly one of the several delphin cars that were specced with "questionable" interior colours...
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. Didn’t think that would last long Rohan! You still Aussie based?
  12. White mt1 on BBS RS on the back of a car transporter in National Park. Think it was the chch car for sale recently?
  13. Possibly! A friends wife has gone to winter 18’s year round so I’ll check if the 19’s are for sale.

    Sad news

    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.
  15. That’s an awesome 130! I’m not in the market but that would be bought immediately if I was. A credit to you!
  16. 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
  17. HK audio, and tiny nav... Who on earth specced this?!
  18. How much for the Performance wheel Ray? Will be up in a couple of weeks.
  19. Was a nice summer car for Queenstown but!
  20. Sub 300km until the 180,000k mark.
