Thanks for the email: The Mag & Turbo Warehouse is an approved insurance repairer. We can perform wheel repairs and refurbishing for all types of alloy wheels including European (BMW, Mercedes, Porsche), American and Japanese.

Not my style, but definitely different, so its all cool for you.

Can mags (in general) be refurbished - cleaned and recoated?

Yes, it's just above the pedal - easy to change - I had to do it to both my x-Japan E36s - very common fault.

IME people who like what a person says thinks of them as forthright, people who do not like the same message think of them as arrogant. Therefore each and every one of us could be forthright or arrogant depending on whom we are being considerd by. Simply put - its all perspective.

Thanks, *sic - I was beginning to think there was no sense of humour left here ....

Jeez, he was just having a bad day, he wasn't brain dead!!

E46 - no question in my mind.

I'm feeling, yet again, that we were suckered into MMP without realising what it all meant. If there was a vote for FPP again, I suspect it'd come out largely in favour of the old system. As someone above said - 4 parties in coalition - ain't gonna work well. With coalitions such as this, it becomes impossible for party policies to dominate, leading to a mish-mash and watered down almost 'non-party' in government.

LOL - way too funny - looks like you have a GREAT time!

Dropping it here could be educational for all of us.

LOL - thanks mate - best compliment I've had for ages!! Rog

Ah, I see - thanks!

ROTFL - you're very welcome, mate.

I thought 9-10,000 km a year was pretty low mileage???? Isn't the average 15-20,000km a year???

My daughter lives in Auckalnd and this morning phoned for an appointment at the dentist. She'll be in there tomorrow having an extraction. The city does have some benefits.

Well its not just BMWs from Bavaria: A German brewer has concocted what he says is the world's strongest beer, a potent drink with an alcohol content of 25.4 per cent that is served in a shot glass. "Everyone who has tried it is enthusiastic. It tastes like a quirky mixture of beer and sherry," said Bavarian brewer Harald Schneider. Schneider, who lives in southern Germany where beer is a tradition, said his beer fermented for 12 weeks for an alcohol content twice that of Germany's other strongest beers. "People will only be able to drink two or three glasses, otherwise they'll drop like flies," he said. :drunk:

LOL - that man shower thing is so true!!

My experience with E36 imports is: both needed new steering racks - allow $1200 approx both needed new rear shock mounts both needed new front suspension bushes both needed cat replaced (with coby) both rattled (VANOS) like a bad of arseholes But I thoroughly enjoyed both and would buy one for my kids if they wanted one...

LOL - yesah - go Euro!!

I'd go for the lower mileage I must admit you have balls - asking about a ricie on a BMW forum

Thanks, I would love to hear a decent bass in a car. I agree with the posts saying that bass is the place ! I'm not saying its not possible - just that I haven't yet heard a decent one. Maybe when we have the Palmy run next month I'll hear a decent bass setup???
