  1. Picked up a set of gen ACS type 2's, fitted them with Firestones and I must say I am impressed with them for the money. Loving the old school look, I know it's only a 528 but I love this car, it got me into Bimmers and wrenching myself It's just such a nice cruiser If anyone is after a set of banged up style 65 reps let me know.
  2. Having done all of this recently just ensure you bleed the system properly when finished, plenty of guides online.
  3. Did a run from Wellington to Havelock using the Gentle Annie route, if you have not driven this road I highly recommend, superb !
  4. Gold caps look the business
  5. ok cheers might have a look inside it at the weekend
  6. Am I right in thinking there is/was an issue with water pooling up in the headlight housing and drowning the ballast ? I have a flicky headlight after parking outside for 3 weeks while the E39 underwent some love in the garage.
  7. How diificult a job is this Jacko ? I would rate my wrenching at say a 6 out of 10

    E39 Taillights

    Hi Guys Struggling to find the correct answer online. Can I just fit these straight up to my prefacelfit ? Pre facelift has the seperate bulb holder I know but these look like they should fit or am I missing something ? I have some aftermarket ones which fitted fine but are just a bit shabby for my liking .https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/exterior/listing/4832459688
  9. I think I need to drive one, quite fancy an e60 530d touring. I often look at the German autotrader where of course there are many diesels, some with huge miles yet still retaining value. Germans appear to maintain vehicles much better than here
  10. Thanks ! What's the drawbacks then, just the sound ?
  11. Just curious here why would you buy a 330D over a 330i
  12. As above however I think that's a cool as hell daily This will not be a fast vehicle if that's a concern, my e39 528i is slow, this barge will be even slower. Unless you are wrenching yourself any old BMW is a potential money pit. E39 530i or E46 330i would be my alternatives.
  13. I like him, I think his videos are excellent.
  14. Ebay can be good for rare trim bits that are hard to get here.
  15. Great choice for a cheap performance bimmer, must be manual of course. They don't really have any big ticket failure items , as ever important to pay a bit more and get a well looked after example.
  16. Yeah i assume it's a flipper as he has a dealers lic now

  19. Wheels look great, my vote for BMW center caps
  20. The E39 looking a bit like a fish out of water

  22. Swapped out the weird factory intake for a nice Mishimoto and K@N filter, intake sounds vastly improved !
