That sounds amazing, shall have to give it a try - thanks for the idea mate

Hi if it has leather interior, use Zymol. It can be had on trademe for a great price - about 20 dollars less (14.95) than what you'd pay online. Otherwise, Mothers is good, Meguiars, Autoglym...even Repo - anything, as long as your car is detailed properly using the correct product will keep it looking spick and span

I'm in the CBD mate. a meet would be fantastic! I'm eagerly awaiting the track day and cannonball run. Thanks for the welcome gents Cheers

Hi mate, I may be severely overestimating the output of the engine, I should do some testing before believing what i've been told. Probably a good idea to get her on the dyno anyway, just to see what improvements can be made and where. Cheers Thanks for all the feedback guys - it has been most appreciated

I'll post some photos when I get home Cheers

I didn't actually put those wheels on the car. It came with two sets. Last night we took a strut brace off one of my dads shelbys and re machined it for the BMW. It rides a lot better, we also adjusted suspension and it's def. not as stiff It's an automatic yes, has 36hp over stock but is running a computer average of about 11/l per 100 km. I see here that not everyone is a great fan of the wheels. Perhaps it's just me (judging from the general commenture I imagine this to be the case,) but I'm happy with how the car looks at the moment. Cheers

Very cool mate, congratulations - wheels are interesting, I rather like them!

Hey Matt, thanks for your reply! I appreciate your feedback, I am really considering swapping the wheels over just to see how it looks! Cheers

Thanks for the feedback! The wheels definitely aren't for everyone - the car also came with some BBS spoked wheels, but I think i'll keep these on for now. They ride so hard, however, due to their size and how low the car sits on them. I installed a slightly better strut brace this evening and took the car around a friend's private road up past Albany - definitely a lot tighter around the corners, but still hard as hell. I wasn't intending to be sarcastic at all? So I don't know if you were directing the statement at me. Thanks for the comment though I appreciate it! Cheers, Cam

Ok?

I wanted to get these up so you guys could see them, I'll get better pics tomorrow and scale them down! The car came with a few extras Clear side indicators M-sport steering wheel Those awesome rims hiop stainless headers and twin (stainless) cat-back KN air filters and carbon intake leather is just perfect and rear seats/carpet are al perfect cond. Some problems with paint and tints, but getting that fixed by a mate in TGA who specialises in painting BMW and Mercedes cars on top of everything else she's a joy to drive. I have given her a good detail - did a clay, polish and wax yesterday. Today did a MAF clean (that seemed to fix some intermittent starting issues i've been having) and gave the underside a good tidy up.

Here she is - just finished cleaning around the engine bay, will get better photos tomorrow with the SLR - i took these in a hurry with my iPhone so I could show y'all cheers

Hey guys, name is Cam I live in Auckland and just recently picked up my third BMW. I now have the one car and i'm enjoying it immensely. It came with race manifold and HP muffler/exhaust (sounds absolutely fantastic) AC Schnitzer wing mirrors, M sport clear indicators, front and rear spoilers and drilled brake rotors. There are a couple of issues with it, but nothing too serious - did my first DIY on it today (MAF clean and good detail - removed wheels, cleaned underneath, full clay, polish and wax.) I'm so happy to be a part of the community and look forward to learning more about my car - and about yours. cheers Cam (photos are coming!)
