Finally

I think they call that "Unnecessary display of acceleration" or something to that effect.

Still enjoying the Merc? or got that familiar itch again?

Looking awesome, how I envisaged I'd have had it one day... Like Kyu said... Wheels. Or dip the current ones! Only other thing is I would paint or dip the chrome rings gunmetal. Great though! (Y)

Those Ferrari F12s are incredible.

Haven't read all but I don't consider our E90 a 5 person car. 3 across the back is too much for me to handle!

Looking forward to see it finished!

Landed in Los Angeles, within an 30 mins of picking up the rental car we saw a Ferrari LaFerrari (OMG SOUNDS AMAZING!) and a Bugatti Veyron.

Lol, read the title Kyu!

"A computer enhanced image" of a speed sign... Looks like a shitty 'Paint' job.

Fairly sure there is at least one Enzo

QUBE were you in a black E class KK I? on Souther Motorway Saturday I think

Dakar Yellow 135i with cage/widebody kit(?)/CSL style boot lid in Parnell. Nice.

FWIW E90 V8 in ChCH at a wrecker for $12k ish

Nice one, GLWS

Haha it was a thought Josh. Heading to Waikato this weekend, just not with the right car! Not to worry though, will be doing a few longer trips in it soon. As for the exhaust, I decided against the Akrapovic with the expense of the engine looming. Maybe another time but at this stage I'm happy!

Heh thanks guys. IMO the photos (as is often the case) don't do it justice and it looks much better in person. Only thing I'd want to do now is LCI tail lights (still on the wish list at this stage). Up to 140ks now... So.. Slow.

Thanks will take a pic like that today.

Thanks guys Haha .. Auckland - small place, huh?

Na sorry didn't bother.

Totally thrilled! Couldn't stop smiling on the drive out of the Dealer's. Also saw the new M4 in there again, pretty cool looking car even in that Phoenix-esque colour.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=778690346&ed=true Put these on in Jan, drove for 2 months before the car went off the road in March. In that time, a rear got cut on a kerb. The damage is in photos, but TMBMW said it didn't need to be replaced. However, since I went to the US, I bought a new tire anyway. Loads of tread left I'm selling on TradeMe and it is sold 'as is, where is'.

Got the car back yesterday! Engine rebuilt and new clutch too. Mounted the carbon performance spoiler when I got home which was a breeze using 3M Automotive 2-sided tape. Held it on firmly with painter's tape overnight and removed this morning and it's on solid. I was going to use BMW's Betalink but it's super messy and totally permanent so went with 3M in the meantime. Got the wheels changed over this morning as well and I'm stoked with how the car is looking and feeling. Just gotta keep it under 4k rpm for 2000ks then an engine run-in service and all good to go. Here is a teaser pic in the meantime before I take some proper ones.

All going back together now incl. new clutch
