Has anyone noticed that these rats have been stealing only 32's and 33's???

When Brenton stupidly locked my keys in my car (dunno how you do that when it has centrel locking) the locksmith told me that 34's and 35's are the hardest to get into, not because of alarms or immobilisers but due to the internals of the lock; usually I'd think he was talking shit to get more money out of me however after spending ages trying to pick the lock, and getting several other people (some of which I know are quite good at picking locks) to try to pick the lock it still wouldn't budge.

Oh, did you ever get your Mrs car back?

32s are like as easy as a VN bogandore to get in to you dont even need to pick the lock. best thing to do is you no they can get in to it easy enough just make sure they cant start it ie kill switch but make it so it will turn over so it creates noise now if anyone hears a car keep turning over someones going to come looking at this car not starting to which it attracts unwanted attention to the would be thief but being bright orange i wouldnt expect to see this stolen it be like trying to hide an elephants cock in your pants no matter how hard you try its going to stick out a bit.

Can anyone else confirm that? It will make me sleep better at nights lol

Hey Charles, i have also locked my keys in my 34 with the window down the smallest amount for the wind/rain guards to cover it. And it was extremely hard to get the car open once again. It took several hours with a lot of noise and effort to pull it off and even still i could not reach the actual internal release. I had to get the keys from the ignition (long story please dont ask how i got locked out) with a coat hanger and used my girlfriends necklace to weigh one side down for more accuracy and so the keys dont weigh to one side and slip off.

So yes i would agree 34's are extremely hard to get into. Have a nice sleep =p

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
