Very nice bud! Welcome to the forums btw - haven't seen you post yet :)

I like the 1 series that's sitting there too! My opinion, get rid of the tow bar though :=):

thumbs:fantastic car, do you still have the throwing star covers for the wheels? Would look better if you did?

Thanks guys.

@ ///MNM I need those covers, do you know of anyone that has them laying around? Just checking.

Unfortunately not, those wheels are really scarce and you can expect to pay premium if you're lucky enough to find them? Good luck.

Looking good :thumb:

The wheels alone are hard to find so I think just the covers would be near impossible. You never know though. You should be able to buy them loose from the agents, but that will be expensive. Ask a local dealer, might not too bad. :mmm:

agents want 14k a set for just the covers, centre cap and screws... might as well just upgrade.

Very nice car you got there :thumbs: did the M5 come with clear indicator lenses or is that an aftermarket tail light ?

They came with amber, but I think the clear was an option.

Typical local rip off.

I bought my clutch from them and had no issues. They also ship to SA. Just note that you will have to pay customs here and the post office for shipping it to your local branch. You can also chat to them online if you have any questions. :thumb:

I just got a quote on an expansion tank R1800, I can get genuine BMW from ECS for $110, including shipping and duties it still works out to half for the same thing.

BMW South Africa needs to wake up as guys like me are just buying everything original straight out the USA. What I like as well is they always have in stock where here it's always ex Germany which is three weeks average.

I get the stuff from the USA average 10 days.

Now who gives the better deal? Third party USA resellers are out performing BMW ZA in their own original parts dept...... stupid situation actually, it shouldnt happen.
