+2 cool points for Team Mac plate surrounds!

Use a Multi tool to cut a cross into the top that fits the biggest screw driver that you own?

E36 coupe with a big front mount intercooler in the centre of Queenstown today, didn't have time to snap a photo.

@balancerider Grigio Telesto as per the Individual site https://individual.bmw-m.com/en-NZ/G87-21DM-P6M That Twilight Purple is doing things to me.

Love this new grey on the M2 LCI(?)

#15 crashed during hyperpole after being P1 leading in, but the art car unscathed for the start of the race

Aside from the cert plate clearly visible in the engine bay that is…

Oh my

As a teen I always wanted DOGBOX for a wagon but someone else had the same great idea.

Nice model for the Spring '24 Lifestyle collection from BMW!

Good points from Driftit re: future proofing and automation. You can never have too many 15A sockets, and cat-6 would be nice too. I'd also suggest plumbing hot water in for car washing during winter.

Cable for a toll card reader I'm guessing.

Lush 316i https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/316i/listing/4736591925 Wasn't this for sale a while back? Macau Evo II https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m3/listing/4736658083 stunning

Was a while ago now, but I'm pretty sure SD had a NIB pattern panel in stock. They might have a supplier? Vink Motorsport and Schmeidmann have it for reasonable monies, but shipping is the killer I imagine.

A twin cam E30 vert with a slightly shorter wheel base... What could go wrong! Seriously though, my first car was an E36 318iS which quickly got chopped for an E30 and they were great to fang around without getting into too much trouble in the early 2000's. I think rather than the handling or power aspects of any first car, more thought should be put into skill set building. I remember that at 16 we were lucky enough to have driver training offered around the old Manukau Super Stage with properly setup cars, on adjustable dollies to mimic differing driving scenarios. Having that knowledge of how cars react in certain situations and how to recover from them saved my bacon many a time as a teen - because teens do dumb sh*t, and it's a bit late to work things out when there's unexpected rotation at the point of diminishing talent. The bonus of buying a manual 6 cylinder Z3 is that he'll definitely not lose money on it!

New NZ cop cars, you saw it in GT7 first.

No one let me near photoshop tonight.

Only one I've ever seen was a pfl m135i in orange.

Fuuuuuuuuck yes! Not like the C55 wasn't already a weapon of a car. Drop down to 17's and wind up Porsche drivers off the lights. Fun fact: The '55 engined 203's use the CLK55 front end which is 20cm longer to accommodate the V8.

Full set of S001's RFT's here https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/listing/4723762004 Even comes with some free wheels.
