I have some e46 m sport wheels as of yesterday. The car needs quite a bit of work. It needs cooling system work and some panel beating work too haha. Not a bad deal though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkonsta1 109 Report post Posted April 8, 2016 I sent it to E Parrot and Sons in Christchurch. I had to buy the stepper motors myself and free issue them to their technicians. They did the whole job and replaced the lcd as well. All up $300. Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted April 9, 2016 okay, we can do charades errr can it run on chip fat? its an oil burner ... 540i was traded for a New 2016 CX-5 2.2 diesel turbo (twin turbo) AWD. Handles very BMW like and out of all the SUVs it was the only one that felt not only like a car but a well sorted 3 series. So im very happy in that regard. Has 420nm of torque so throws you back in your seat quite nicely. The 6 speed auto has 80% lockup and shifts as fast as a DSG but without the dreaded DSG pump issues. Ooo and it rev matches on down shifts .. Did look at getting another bimmer and for the price I paid I could of got something pretty nice, but I couldn't quite stretch / stomach paying for a second hand x3 with less spec and 30-40000ks on the clock for the same money it cost to buy new , warrenty and free servicing is quite attractive. The e30 isnt going anywhere so havent walked off from BMW at all. Also working on lots of Rays projects to keep the buzz alive. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breaker 980 Report post Posted April 9, 2016 Nice, we got a 2014 cx5 limited diesel and ran 30k up in the first year. Great car and I believe they are even better and now quieter. Great choice. Love that torque that high compression motor pumps out ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
