1st Fix and closer inspections
Fixing the Leak
It turned out that the Top Radiator Hose was leaking around the hose clamp...
so i cut the hose shorter and re attached it for now. i have ordered the replacement hose from BMW doncaster. freakin $110 for a 30cm hose $&#@$&^$#@(**#@&$!!!!!
Some Proper Photos
and while i am outside, i took few quick pictures...
the HID ballast... i didn't even know the car has HID until i opened the bonnet... wasn't checking on the lights etc at all... i was more concern about mechanical stuff...
the ground control camber top made my day
well i had to changed the steering joint on my BIMMO E30 in jkt, but this MERAH3 already has shinny new joint and rubber bushing...
the E36 3.0 M3 Front brake and E36/7 ti Rear Brake
rear tow bar bloody hell... why?
front right apron is pushed in, nevermind will source replacement one when i have time... if i ever...

OPERATION PLATE RECOVERY :D
So I was chilling out in jacuzzi in the snow villa penthouse after a day and night of maxtreme snowboarding and I get a call from Mr X, I'll call him Salis to protect his real identity. He asks me what am I doing on Sunday, I tell him that I'll be high in the alps till late Sunday and all the other agents are either with me scoping out snow bunnies, or on another interstate mission something about going to a salon?? I tell him that I'll be free on Monday.
"Meet up with us at the usual spot on Sunday night and we can discuss your plan"
So our mission is to find and return a Red BMW 325i owned by the Prince of microasianinia. So over some food we formulated a mastermind plan to pull this job off.
I can only tell you it was really hard to find the 15 donkeys, the rest I cannot reveal! The faces have been digitally altered to protect their identities
Miss Blue does not have blue shoes!
Yi Ng descrables the engines antitheft system whilst Salis takes care of the front plate
Yi Ng keeps a look out whist carefully removing the rear plate
Salis re-registering the car with plain plates, oh hohoho, so simple, so devious!!!
A sneaky getaway! brrrrruhhhhhhh putt putt putt
And returned to his rightful owners, happily resting with his other bmw buddies.
The bit after the first paragraph may or may not be true
