Yep, even still have an old car key from a car I haven't owned for 14years. Not really sure why it's in the drawer...Ending up with a billion keys on your key ring and only able to indefinitely about 3 besides your obvious car and house key!
And then you decide to do a key cull but you can’t bear to chuck them out because what if?! What if some of those keys are really important or something so you put them on a seperate key ring in your junk drawer along with about 2 or 3 other key rings of unidentified keys from who the fuck know as well from past key culls!
Thats my advice on any euro car to non-car people, especially in Australia...If you can’t fix yourself, only own a bmw inside warranty.
Could be double double if I can take the mainland cash over there in about 6-7yrs when I hope to retire....and twice the fun!!
I'm finding mainland cash doesn't go as far here as you'd hope... Stuff is expensive here!Could be double double if I can take the mainland cash over there in about 6-7yrs when I hope to retire.
Got the super and the time to enjoy it.
Especially with his kids.I'm finding mainland cash doesn't go as far here as you'd hope... Stuff is expensive here!
I know it is AND I have noticed it getting more expensive over the few years I have been heading over there. The mainland cash I speak of is keeping me comfortable currently, bumping my super and will have mortgages paid off at 56, I want to retire at 56 or 57. Then I can live anywhere in Aus without working.I'm finding mainland cash doesn't go as far here as you'd hope... Stuff is expensive here!

A big thing we noticed at xmas 2021 was the amount of new dual cab utes with Tassie plates (not taking the piss here either Mr Tradie Ute fan), Tassie was full of old HiLux's and Falcon utes, next thing there is an explosion of new Rangers and Prados.
Lots of taswegians have I suspect cashed in on the real estate boom and moved out of town...A big thing we noticed at xmas 2021 was the amount of new dual cab utes with Tassie plates (not taking the piss here either Mr Tradie Ute fan), Tassie was full of old HiLux's and Falcon utes, next thing there is an explosion of new Rangers and Prados.
Even out of town is getting up there... thought out-out is still cheap, plenty of <$50k blocks still available around Rosebury/Waratah area.Lots of taswegians have I suspect cashed in on the real estate boom and moved out of town...
What doesn't leak on a BMW?Ahh yes bmw oil leaks
Oil leak behind alternator.
8 buck buna-n dog bone shaped gasket that goes hard and fails. 10 hours workshop time.
The silly fuckers hedged their bets each way with water cooling or oil cooling the embedded alternator in the n62 block. The alternator bracket seals to the oil system with a 8 buck gasket that goes hard. No viton or silicon aftermarket’s available.
Only comes second to every valve stem seal being fucked. 80 bucks in seals. 20 hours of you use the tool for compressing valve springs with engine in car. Dealer drains owners pockets with engine out, heads off 15-20k jobs. Hence the 90% depreciation on BMW’s
If you can’t fix yourself, only own a bmw inside warranty.
M539 Restorations on YouTube is an entertaining source of information on all that goes wrong with old beemers.
