E28E30

I have those on my A4 daily @M3AN, 245/? 19 and they’re pretty good for everyday I reckon. They were on the car when I bought it but not super noisy

That looks really good!

Thanks @Olaf! I have indeed. But you’ve inspired me to have another look when I am over in Masterton where it is, this weekend.

Thank you @Neal

Hello experts, I have recently acquired a 1987 E30, NZ new with factory basic stereo, but the battery was disconnected by the previous owner so now I can’t use the stereo without entering the code. Local BMW dealer in Wellington said unit should have serial number stamped into unit in metal, but it doesn’t that I can see? There is this serial number on a sticker also saying Alpine NZ, on the back of the unit. I sent that to local BMW but no help as they said it must be the one stamped in metal on the unit itself. Should I try a different dealer or some other source to find code or is this likely a dead end? Have searched the owner’s manual, the toolkit and the unit all over. There is a blank sticker on top of the unit which may have had a code written on it some stage but that’s long gone (I believe Shelly BMW used to write the code on the unit? They supplied this car new way back when). Thanks for any help! Alternatively if someone has one of these lying around and has the code, and wants to move it on, please PM me

Good price one the badges? I see them in US for $40-50 USD each plus freight which seems a lot?

Such a lovely clean car @adro

And the wheels look wrong?

Looks smart @mmario, and a really tidy car

Looks like brand spanking new @Sammo. Does the Ceriglass get machined on or done gently with a cloth? Presume the latter?

@Kees this is looking fantastic, and your story telling style is also a great read.

The interior is UBER nice

I saw you there @Jun just as you were leaving, fantastic car fella

Ah that is good to hear!

If a political party said they’d review NZTA, review political capture of their operations, and focus on other things in addition to speed, people would notice?

@Driftit that new speed limit - sad face emoji!

That doesn’t sound right? If so very expensive. That one I just checked was $1100 I think

Awwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

@Sammo where was the malachite wagon? Droooooooool

I think its the same firm I enquired about seats with last year, was looking at from memory $1400 USD to send four seats. But my memory may be lacking. They appear to do good work but I wanted cloth, and ideally, Sports seats in “SE” fabric ie a custom build, and they cannot get the SE striped fabric, plus toooo expensive

Plus postage

Love it!

Is it worth the economy gain v RUCs v diesel now being dearer? You do high mileage I think eh? I did comparison on an F30 320i v 320d and for my use it seemed the petrol was going to be better, just. Would a petrol vRS do too? Must admit I didn’t know they’d imported a bunch of 4wd diesel ones, that’s cool:)

Aha

No auto wipers either. And nothing M about it. Your manual 2.8 must have been lovely to drive
