  1. Mmm yummy cats. Where did you source those ones?
  2. I believe he's a magical man
  3. Crazy. Sad but we do rub shoulders with people like this in the country. Be vigilant at all times! On another note, I'm sure your could enhance the image like so
  4. Is it possible to change the submodel text for your car by contacting the NZTA?
  5. Been offered to take a maintained 8 series for a drive. Most exciting!
  6. I bet it's a Porsche!
  7. Does it sound like a nice one though? Usually I find those systems versions are similar to that of a butch lesbian..
  8. Nah, buy hydes supercharger bracket so you can be 10% closer to a supercharged auto 328i
  9. Did you come up with a specific length for the intake runners?
  10. I approve of these kind of repairs. Good stuff!
  11. Ah yes those are the ones.
  12. I reckon the standard split 5 spokes on later E38s would suit it best
  13. Car looked good in person with these wheels at yesterdays meet
  14. Haha. Good work! Did our little chat help make a decision?
  15. Hmmm. Able to video it as a demonstration? Perhaps record the tacho with the drivers door open so the engine is more audible.
  16. This is comingg along really well. Looking forward to the painted version!
  17. an E34* Looks like a good buy. A friend of mine just got a tidy E39 523i for $600 so they can be had real cheap if you hunt around. Don't bother modifying the stock small capacity engine, let alone try those ebay chips (haha). Just go for a M30B35 + manual box. It would make it a far better package than trying to get more out of an undersized motor. An M30 would be quite a cost effective upgrade too. Or if you want more punch and dont mind spending more talk to Brent about an M60 / M62 conversion which he has done before.
  18. Indeed, shill bidding is a pretty common problem too.
  19. Fatal crash with an E39 Touring on the news. Just goes to show how bad a typically safe older car copes with those glancing head long crashes involving well under 25% of the width of the car being impacted on
  20. Michael.

    WTB E34 540i

    These are a quintessential money pit really. Depends on how well you wish to look after one I guess! $5k should get you a good starting point. Could spend that figure easily redoing bushes, ball joints, oil seals and the like
  21. Which is what counts!
