AlienEclipse 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Don't know why its taken me so long to join this forum. But i'm here now. My pride and joy is a '95 325i Coupe. Had it about 10 months now. It had 197,000Kms on the clock when i brought it. Ive put on an additional 11,000kms in the past 10 months and haven't had an issue, everything in/on the car working. Including my carpc (explain more later). The pics attached are a bit old. Ive changed the mags (and house) since these were taken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoy Hopefully if the weather holds i will actually get a chance to clean it and take new pics. Hasn't been cleaned for over a month and with all the crap weather, she's a very dirty girl.

Five Star 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2008 Welcome! Would be interested to hear about your carPC setup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlienEclipse 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) Here is an updated pic (taken today) with the new wheels. Forgot to put the spots back in, so it looks a little weird. As for the CarPC. Basically i have a custom small form factor PC in the back (above the sub box). It runs a modified/slimmed down version of Windows XP. It runs an application called Centrafuse (www.centrafuse.com) which provides music, video, dvd playback as well as GPS navigation, web browser, email client, OBDII readout, bluetooth, wireless, plus much more. All this is driven from a 7" LCD touch screen mounted in the dash. Check out http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show-off-your-project/ and have a look at some installs to get an idea of it. I'll post pics soon. Edited August 23, 2008 by AlienEclipse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlienEclipse 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Welcome to Bimmersport, nice car. The CarPc thing sounds interesting, how quick does it boot up? On a good day, less than 5 sec. using hibernation. on a bad day, close to a minute or not at all. Haven't tracked down what causes it to go slower.

BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 Welcome to BS1 Wow, bloody tidy car. You look after it really well. I haven't seen it around Dunners at all - does it hibernate during the winter months and only come out on sunny days for photos? It appears like have a photgraphic touch as well - couple of shots there down at the harbour basin - what camera do you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its my only car, so i uses to to go to and from work and everywhere else i need to. It only looks tidy in that photo coz i had just spent the previous 3-4 hours cleaning it. Yeah, took quite a few shots that day. My camera is only a budget point-and-shoot 10.1 MegaPixel Casio. As for the photo graphic touch, i like to play a bit in Photoshop.

AlienEclipse 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Think I've seen that car before. The wheels that were on it were already the goods! Welcome aboard. I didn't have much choice, but to replace the wheels as they were too wide for the front. Both the front and rears were 18x9. It was rubbing something chronic and would pass WOF. Mag and turbo gave me a good deal on the new ones. Plus the wheels were majorly curbed. I actually like the look of the new ones better (similar in design to the old ones.)

The Jade Quay building in the dunedin harbour basin is good place for photos. The whole building is just glass. attached is another pic that shows a bit more of the building.
