Can anybody recommend a place where i could get this done?

its pitted and slightly ripped

Cheers

You could try BMW Workshop in Grey Lynn

I'm about to trade my motor sport e36 323i coupe that i've had for 10 yrs . it aint a manual though!

they're bright! what brand are they and where did you pick it up from?

wow - it looks awesome

Shiny! What products do you use?

A work collegue bought a second hand 320d and still gets bucket loads of freebies including wine these days and we bought an x5, twice as much as the e90 have gotten ziltch!

repeat customer, i think not!!!

Not quite a snug fit or done it on purpose?

Always read the details on any "warranty" or "service plan" as there are huge variations on what is covered, and so what is not.

There are very few "full" service plans available, which would cover wear-and-tear items like brakes, I have only ever seen these on leased vehicles that are on a fully maintained lease, and even then there can be excesses to pay if you get through too many kms by the end of the lease.

As for the parallel importers and their "warranties" most are only good for bog roll. They are technically "mechanical insurance policies" not warranties at all, and have you ever seen an Insurance company that likes to pay out? Plus one of the normal conditions in the policy is to have the vehicle serviced by the dealer at more regular intervals, and they wont pay out if you dont do it.

Be clear what you are signing up for.

You seem to have quite a few diesels, how often do they need servicing?

Wasn't expecting tyres to be covered..needless to say they told me it needed replacing - all 4!

so it was one expensive month!

Basically it'll be never again from dealers - you're paying a premium for a marketing gimmick..go the parallel importers!

I have been a loyal fan of BM workshop - have used them for the last 7+ years and will be reverting back to them when this one is over.

JC is a little too far!

the truck supposedly came with a 2 year warranty and service plan when we bought from TM.

Thinking we wont have to worry about anything for the next 2 years..how wrong!

It covers jack sh$#%

Basically it covers oil, filter and labour.

So when it was due, surprise surprise it needed new brakes - rotors + pads

Was shocked to find out that brakes was not part of the service plan..what salesman tell you to make you sign the dotted line

Even had the decency to charge me for a blown license plate bulb.

2.5k later and the morons even forgot to reset the service indicator, dealer service with a smile!

end of rant -

Its been a year since the last service and probably covered under 20ks and according to the service indicator, its not due until next year? is this the norm to change oil every 2 years? i always thought diesels required more servicing than their petrol counter parts...kinda ridiculous if you ask me & tbh if its required, i'd rather take it somewhere else....

so in reality when you buy used premium with 2 year blag blah you actually only get 1 service?

Jeepers that's pretty shinny! What brand of products did you use?

Have a set that i was going to use on the coupe but have decided to keep with the stock look.

18x8, 5x120, 35P

Above average condition and could do with another clear coat if you're fussy

$500

Auckland Central pickup

Will fit e36 & E46 and similar stud pattern

No tyres sorry...

Nice work. What polisher are you using?

that's some nice work!

i got a 8kw Mitsi in the lounge an 3kw panasonic in the bedroom.

i hate the panasonic in the room as its got all sort of lights going on and its quite bright!

i'm looking at going Mitsi again in a new build. However looking at a ducted system upstairs.

Have also had quote in for that smart vent unit and its about 10k!!

Some nice stealth work there mate!!
