Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted December 27, 2013 the colour, makes me want to lick it. It will no doubt be the taste of an Orange Tic-Tac. Might wanna be talking to some-one bout that fetish there Juggy.............. Went to Cemetry Circuit bike racing yesterday, & spotted 'something different' among the sea of snazzy bikes - a light green, mint looking Mk 1 Cortina.

NVADER 54 Report post Posted December 28, 2013 Saw an White E36 coupe with a RD kit in Ponsonby today, had a bimmersport sticker. On the rear windows? That'll be my old girl. Still have black E46 wheels on it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3194 Report post Posted December 29, 2013 Went to Cemetry Circuit bike racing yesterday... Hmm. Didn't even say 'hello' to me, and after I'd travelled all that way... We were staying with friends in Campbell Street, but back home now. Wanganui is nice - really enjoyed a couple of days there. Is there much (or any) demand for IT PMs, managers or similar in the area? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bummer - if I'd known ya were there I woulda made a point of meeting ya.............hope ya enjoyed it!!?? Nope - no demand for that in Wanganui mate as far as I know - they mostly still all use sticks, clubs, letters, pens, & smoke signals to communicate with over there...........some have a phone these-days though.......

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 I was lucky enough to spot this E92 M3 'Lime Rock Park Edition' - One of 200(?). Looked gorgeous in the flesh, love the colour so much! Excuse the crappy carpark iPhone pics. Haha I know this one! I did the dealer trade on it to Century BMW when I was working at Beverly Hills BMW. Awesome car. Colour has to be seen in person to appreciate it. It was our Halloween promo car last year.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted January 5, 2014 Walked outside to put out the wheelie bin and seen this black M5 sitting across the road. A quick car jam reveals a 2005 and a vin check (could not help myself) reveals fully loaded with all the options. Still don't like the back of these things though.

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted January 5, 2014 Mmm that is one awful E60. Very cheap looking car.. That's a bit harsh, Mike! Revert to the original tail lights and this would look fine IMO, though Kurt's right about the paint! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, too true, I think the paint swirls are the worst of it. Idk, I'd just rather look at a well sorted M5 E34 than one of those Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3_Power 636 Report post Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I am fairly sure those clear lights were a "factory option" - it was during a period when clear tail lights were all the rage and BMW brought them out as an optional pacakge (wife was working there at the time and I remember seeing that car being sold new with those lights).

Doesn't surprise me, the monochrome thing seems to be everywhere now... Trust bimmer to do it ahead of the pack though. Not a huge fan personally.... Still wish my car was red!

It was parked up at the MGM Grand, LV when I saw it.Which is fairly ironic since I haven't worked in NZ for a number of years. Should get a job sometime huh? Ahh MGM Grand, such a maze of a place. Luckily I'm banned from there now anyway.I see Julian in that shiny shiny shiny E39 most days going along Ponsonby Road. Every time I stop running and drool a little. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I won't think you're weird! Are you another local? I see Milan (BEEMN) a fair bit locally too in his rather tasty motorsport E61. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
