I was pull over this afternoon heading to Bondi on the M4. The cop said my pod was undercover and gave me a small fine,,, but he also said I need to get a cover for it and have my Turbosmart boost controller removed. Which was in plain sight.

Any help by you guys will greatly be appreciated.

1) Is there anyway around this TM removed thing?

2) What is a full inpection?

3) What and where is an Authorised Unregistered Inspection Station?

AUVIS is an authorised unregisteered vehicle inspection station.

Sounds as if you need to have a full blueslip insection done. So basicly the vehicle needs to be presented in perfect road worthy state to be cleared.

Give greg at autosport engineering a call he can help you out with getting it cleared with minimal fuss. 95211388

ngk racing do you have any idea what your talking about.

any form of modification to a standard car is illegal.

cops could fine you for a air freshener hanging off your rear veiw mirror if they wanted to.

.....well if it has a front mount on it or a bov he was right to defect you, but if he has defected you on fact that you pod isnt covered he is wrong. I would call rta take it there show them first could save you alot of money, (Take the boost contoler off first) they can clear any decfect or blueslip there. If the cop has mad a mistake i have done it before saved me 80 bucks on the roady and it was a defect i got for a pod filter

lol who told you that???????????????????

if the boost controller isnt illegal why are you telling him to take it off.

dont send the wrong message to people.get your facts right first.

as for the pod.everyone knows its illegal unless its fully enclosed and engineered.

hahahahahaha

boost controller is illegal

what ever cops are telling you a pod is illigal and u need to have it fully enclosed and engineered is wrong..

so listen to what i said i dont live in sydney but i had the same thing cop told me my pod was illigal i went to the rta and got it cleared for free and they said even some cops make mistake

:(

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
