Toe-knee 6 Report post Posted October 1, 2018 Hey all just a quick introduction of myself and my 06 i650 e63 BMW. My name is Tony, I am 47 years young and have lived in New Plymouth for around 18 years now. I've owned a 540 and a 730 in the past, and have now recently purchased a Japanese i650 off trade me in as is condition since the gearbox didnt operate. $7000 later with the car getting transported all over NZ trying to fix the SMG transmission the car is now all go...ended up been the clutch sensor. I also replaced the clutch while the gearbox was out of the car...made sense. Car goes very well but rather a hard ride on the butt but sticks to the road like glue 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
