Reconnected the E36 battery to start the day. Went a little like this: E36 > Silverdale Bus station > CBD office > Wiri CDG Depot > X5 to Hamilton > Huntly > Epsom > Home > E91 to pick up E36 > cool wee pic of the midlife crisis mobile and family travel wagon together.

I managed to snag a beast of a Thule box. It fit's all the kid's stuff in there, plus a guitar case, plus a set of golf clubs, plus a fold down step stool so my short ass can reach up to the box... And then some. Problem now is if it's off the car, it occupies a tenth of the garage - so I guess it's staying on the car for summer! 😂

Dang, that's a great deal!

Do you know of a decent sized roofbox available for sale? Can go pretty long 2+ m on the roof. We have OE BMW roof racks if that means anything. They're not slimline, or whispa or whatever the latest roof rack technology is. New/retail wise, any experience here with Hapro? They seem like a real good price point brand on paper. Any other thoughts or recommendations on what to consider, or avoid?

Any E91 rear trunk roundels floating about by chance, inc grommets? P/N: 51147166076

Very sharp pricing, interior looks lush!

Bought new v-belt, thermostat, waterpump, and crankshaft pulley for less than €350. Febi, Meyle and GT Automotive (trusted UK brand).. Though to be fair, I did save a bunch on shipping as a mate is flying soon from the UK to NZ! 😄 Merry Christmas to the N57, may she live on another 200k kms!

Yep I'm waiting nearly 2 weeks now for a replacement fan belt for the clothes dryer, via NZ Couriers from New Plymouth. Tis the silly season.

Unfortunately lost crankshaft pulley today, but stopped the car as soon as battery light popped up on the dash to diagnose and saved her before overheating! I haven't found any new pulleys available via local channels, and this close to Christmas I don't expect to land anything in from overseas until next year so I'm putting this out there on the very rare chance someone has a replacement harmonic balancer/crankshaft pulley kicking about.

Hey team, On the small off chance, would someone have a Genuine BMW 'backrest protector and child seat protector mat' kicking about? Maybe your kid's grown out of their car seat and you have no need for the mat anymore, and wouldn't mind passing on to another budding BMW dad fella (me). I can offer payment of beers, dollary-doos, a firm handshake or crisp hi-five, or an excellent personal reference for your resume.

Hands down one of my fave hill climb drivers thanks to those Judd V8s. RIP fella!

While this thread's been dug back up @*Glenn* - here's a cool memory of my questionably styled Hellrot facing off against your NZ first Ti + M52B28 conversion (don't quote me on that) down Meremere. From memory, we faced off twice and had similar trap times and what a bloody good day it was. And another of you, @BM WORLD and I having a chinwag. Loved that 535i Brent! Good times.
