Glacial Pace

I find that the super car stuff for M cars doesn't get included in those. Maybe it just missed the last one. Supercheap don't stock it either.

Not sure if it's of any use to anyone, but Repco are 25% off most things today. I know they go on sale regularly, but for things like Castrol 10w60 supercar this seems like about as cheap as it gets.

Yes, aware of that, thanks for the heads up though. Coding required immediately? I'll probably get the battery on Monday, but my coding tool will be probably end of the week, if not start of next. Unless @Neil McCauley is able to help me out?

I have an old garage laptop that I use for Audi diagnostic software, so that seems reasonable. But a simple Bluetooth scanner for in the car might be good as well. In case of emergency.

Oh, amazing. I'll DM you my phone number. Thank you!

So, I need some sort of diagnostics tool. Probably not going to get into coding anything but I need to read and clear fault codes and all that jazz. Is this one along with bimmerlink what I want, or is there a better option? Also, if anyone near Queenstown has a code reader I'd love to know what my check engine light is on for this weekend haha. https://www.stahlcar.nz/products/bmw-obd2-tool-for-bimmercode-bimmerlink?variant=44426037428499&currency=NZD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw5Ky1BhAgEiwA5jGujtNi9zWofyclHQUY4bWXjFGWmXtaCZrteeIKutle7dsD97Dv8WPsuxoCzyEQAvD_BwE

Also, it turns out it's got a Miltek exhaust. At least that's what the tips say, and they're welded to the back box so that much is Miltek anyway.

New car day.

And here it is in all it's ratty glory haha. Got a check engine light the second time I started it, and a low battery warning as well. Possibly related. I don't think it's been driven much in the last year or so, so I'll try charging the battery. Also need to get an obd reader and see what causing the check engine light. It seems to drive pretty well, and the suspension doesn't feel as lose as I expected. The edc dampers are still noticeable different in the different settings as well. I assume it all still needs replacing but not as bad as I thought it might be.

Got up early this morning and collected the car from the transporter. It looks used but in relatively good condition for the km. Took it for a short drive but it was -4° so the oil didn't get up to temp after 20+ mins off driving and I didn't exactly want to give it much with the chance of ice all over the place. I am very happy with it just now, and also quite nervous as to what I might find in there once I look at it in the light. Shockingly I think it has an oil leak from the filter housing gasket. Unprecedented I know....

Nice. I've been up that mountain, a few years ago. No snow when I did it though.

Nice! Any jobs planned for it?

Mr12volt make conversation boxes for E9x models, or you could try your luck with an Ali express box. I did that with my Audi A6 and it's ok, navigation is a bit of a pain without a touch screen and the sound quality is not amazing.

Ordered it all, including new bolts as discussed.

I do plan on doing suspension work on the car at some point, and I'll consider reusing the bolts then, but 280k km and I don't know if they have ever been changed, so I will do it for peace of mind.
