^ HQ SS would be awesome on a 540i!🤣

Am interested on how you go @Herbmiester - I will be doing a complete front suspension refresh on my 840ci. Have all the parts, including whole arms, just need to get them installed ☹️

To be fair any e39 example from @hqstu will be far superior to any thing being sold publicly. If I was in the market for an e39 I wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger on one of his!

This would be my pick of the bunch - solely based on having seen and heard it from a distance a few times (sounds awesome!) 😎. Although I do have a soft spot for the e34…

I'll House You!

What a waste of a LS2 haha 🤣

Check this out - latest video from M539 Restorations:

Had it been lowered since last sold? What happened to the M-sport wheels? 😣 Bastardised if it has!

This 100%! Tales me back to when i purchased an E60 m5. Told the dealer “its not so much about trying to take everything on the road. Its now about knowing that i can if i want too - but don’t!” 😎 Welcome and great to see a 5-series GT. I think they’re quirky cool and practical!

Anyone who was once young figured out that more noise increases the likelihood that you where going to score - figuratively so to speak 😂 Anyone who has since matured - relatively speaking - has realised that more noise also equals more attention haha 🤣

However, the (money) pitfall to be aware of with this scenario is that when you do something to one, you will do the same to the other, then vice versa. Thats when the money go-round begins, and you can’t stop it haha 🤣 my 2c if you are seriously considering an e60 M5 is - do it!

^^ Ahhh, see what you did there, very good! Don't disagree either 🤣

Pay phone booths with free wifi? 🤣

As mentioned, dealer will probably offer you a token amount as a trade (my guess $1k-$2k max?). Hmmm, an e34 for the work commute would be cool! You’re Wellington based?

Tempting!

Awesome spot @Jun! i’m aware of at least 6 e31’s that reside in the Wellington region. This would make 7 if it is not just visiting 😁

The way of the present? Nope. Nah. Not for me thanks. Imma stay ol’skool analogue with my e31 manual 😎

Was an enjoyable watch...

BMW commissioned a special one off tribute to the M1 celebrating its 40th anniversary. So I’m 99% sure that it is the M1 Homage (circa 2007/8 if memory serves me correct). The DomPost (in Wellington) did a feature article on it at the time - i think i have the clipping somewhere… man I feel old haha

Kind of 😎. Bumper was damaged when it had a wheel alignment done. Underside ripped and left hand side pulled left off coming off the ramp. Temporarily reattached it. Decided to take it to mitre10. Parked. Went inside. Came out. Reversed out. Heard a crunch. Stopped. Got out. Bumper on the ground. Stupid parking stop haha 🤣 only took 6 months to have it fixed

Got it back after some face work. back this this: from this:

A timely reminder that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', 'cos 'fugly' comes to mine 🤣 But at the end of the day it is what it is!

Will leave it until the next long weekend 😃 - re-installed as I needed the seat in to use the car for the rest of the week. Will update when I take it out again... impossible to do when seat is in situ as motor is on the console side ☹️

Oops was meaning trying something square drive-ish 😎. Decided to leave it alone and re-install as it is. Reason - found out why it is listed as the motor and cable as one unit (bottom of pic by the nut - it aint coming out). Thanks BMW, thanks very much 🤣. at least i now know what the issue is for when it needs to be done to fix it 😎 thanks again @NZ00Z3, much appreciated! cheers
