I can match any mss54 to any ews box and keys. I can also flash ews boxes and modify these and rolling codes to used keys ect! I also have the ability to recover so called bricked mss54 most of the time. They do crap out from time to time from people that don't know what they are doing (plenty of those on that forum) - there's a guy on there that claims he can do this and that and trust me I get more emails from him than spams! Send it to me and I'll test it for you. It makes no difference which car the dme came from I can virginise these so you can pair it with any ews box or key sets. I don't know why you bothered sending these to the USA as I have the knowledge and equipement to do almost everything the Americans can do with these and more. I have a test dme and I can tell you this dme has gone to hell and back - I have even test brick and recovered this to help out a guy that did the same in the UK - there's a specific way to put these into boot mode so it can be recovered (even when it fails to talk via BDM). Send it to me and cover return postage and I'll check it for you for free and recover it for nothing.

next week when all the sudo aucklanders leave town to go home to family. no Q's no waiting parking anywhere for 2 weeks.

in a parallel universe, friendly beers are asking on the forums if they are fans of dave...

Sorted, purchased one of my old e36's back

Sweet, thanks for monitoring FS thread and answering questions.

My new toy. Will be a project/maintenance thread as there's really not much else to do to this car. Put the Estoril coupe up for sale approx. 5 mins after hearing that a friend was selling this - 3 days later and it was in my driveway. 1996 NZ new 328i Manual coupe turned M3. A good friend built this car from a bare shell, the only remaining part that is a 328i aside from the chassis is the subframe. Everything else is M3-equivalent or better. Drivetrain: S50B30, Vanos has been rebuiit. Chipped, Tuned. M3 ZF 5sp gearbox Quaife helical LSD. Remus exhaust Fenix alloy radiator Light weight Single mass flywheel and heavy duty clutch Short Shift kit Suspension/Brakes/Wheels: M3 bilstein monotube shocks B&G lowering springs M3 sway bars Goodridge Braided brake and clutch lines E46 m3 front floating rotor with 330i caliper and e46 328i rear brakes (Bigger than e36 M3 whilst keeping same brake bias) Front and rear Strut Braces Powerflex front trailing arm bushes E46 Msport steering rack BBS RC 18x8.5 in BMW Marrakesh Brown Interior: Grey rain Alcantara Vaders and rear seats 18 button OBC Carfolie Carbon Classic tint 35% Jvc headunit, upgraded speakers, amp, sub etc. M3 instrument cluster Exterior/Misc: Schwarz II AC Schnitzer rear window spoiler HID headlights M3 Electric mirrors Front lip Fog light blanks LTW wing Clear indicators/tails I'm in love with this car, I wanted it the first day I ever saw it, so naturally the only response when I was told it was for sale was to buy it. Spend this past Sunday cleaning it and went out for the day with 2x E46 M3's and an E92 M3, what an incredible car, and a ridiculous difference between this and the Estoril 328I. There's no fair comparison between the S50 and M52 engines, this completely blows the other car out of the water in terms of power and acceleration, and all the suspension components make this car handle insanely well. I'm extremely happy, and content with a car for the first time. Few photos below, more will be coming soon.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-240089175.htm This has been posted about before. Super low km E39 that's been for sale for ages. I couldn't find the last thread about it where I said if I drove past it again I'd take some pics. I was in Palmerston North today so swung past and had another look. It's really deteriorating sitting in the back of the yard. Poor pics bacause they were taken with my crappy ph..lol So here's what 15k will get you..lol Clear coat is peeling off the bumpers and wing mirrors. Roof has faded badly in the sun. Light lenses are shot and lights aren't fitting right. Wood across the glovebox is peeling away. At the end of the day its just a less than average 540i with a bodykit and a nice set of wheels. The only thing it really has going for it is the low km's but even then it's been sitting in a corner of the yard for years now. Imagine the work you'd have to do to replacing everything that has dired out and gone brittle. $15000 my ass.

They're not kms, its an hour clock, 37,000hrs sitting in the sun rotting 1541 days / 4.2 years.

No, the first rule or e30 club, is you do not talk about e30 club.

Open to offers around 65k due to the extremely low km. Yes you can buy one a bit cheaper but not in this condition. BMW F10 535i 2012 M Sport 6700km (Six thousand) - Absolutely showroom condition. Unmarked inside, outside and spotless underneath - Carbon Black with shadowline trim - Auto Lights package - Heads up display - Premium 16 speaker audio with HDD - Nav (NZ) - Factory rear spoiler - 19" rims - Sport suspension - 8-speed sports auto - Black leather interior with anthracite interior trim - iPhone 4 (included) mounted in factory media adapter - Electric and heated seats I ordered this directly from the factory (to NZ spec. - km/hr, Nav etc.) in Germany while I was in London and imported it and have all paperwork. Never driven (apart from delivery km) outside NZ. I'm in Kapiti on 027 966-2759

great to hear of progress on your compact, Andy. less of the 'today', though over the last week have been catching up on e46 maintenance. last weekend a decent wash, clay-bar. rain came so no wax. cleaned interior. wednesday, washed, dried, waxed. all meguiars product. removed racks from roof. yesterday, new AC compressor and receiver drier, rear sway bar bushes and end links (thanks Page European!). Cool air again, the old compressor was pooched. luxury! Rear end now happy to follow front again. Today I'm off to install new struts (Sachs OEM), strut bearings, bump stops, spring pads, dust boots, fasteners, and sway bar bushes; rear shocks (Sachs OEM), bump stops, dust pads, fasteners. Another episode of 'middle-aged grey-haired bastards on driveway with tools' to start at 0800 #8 )

awesome. that'll put the proctologist out of business. $3-5k for a colonoscopy? Nahhh bro, got my android smartphone and one of these endoscope thingies eh. good curry the night before for a 'cleanout', half-bottle of JD for the relaxation, all good. My mates have promised not to post pics on facebook with this thing hangin' out my arse...

Filled up the 750i and then went straight back with the 740i. Filling up two 80 liter tanks that were both almost empty saved me approx $33. Definitely worth waiting in line for 5 mins.

I am beer's biggest fan!

stop being a pedantic git Ron.

at the end of the day, people doing stupid speeds like that are going to do them regardless of what the tolerance (or law) is... and a lot of them wont live to tell the tale. Sadly the police will continue to use them as an example of why they focus on speed so much. I know when i was young and dumb i did some speeds i shouldnt, the law didnt matter to me. I had a reality check when i saw a video of what happens to a car when it crashes at 200kph. Now other than the odd quick burst of speed to pass someone (and free the passing lane up as quick as possible), i stick to the limit, using the tolerance as a safety net (for when speed creeps up going down hills etc).

Another speed story http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/75263207/motorcyclist-spotted-going-261kmh-in-canterbury

Need/Want haha Clear coat is gone on bonnet and guard. Little bit of rust in boot lid

I'm originally from Melbourne, and the cops will ping you for 3km/h over the limit any day of the year. Also, mobile phone fine is around $420 and 4 demerit points (we only have 12). In addition to that, Australia has 'Double points' over long weekends and Christmas holidays. So your 4 point phone fine just turned to 8 points and your 3 points for running a red light just earned you 6 points... We have it easy here, trust me. Even more harsh is their stance on modified cars but we wont go there today....

To add to th pic above I came across this today. Frigging awesome. Pity it's Photoshop and not real.

Tax sink!! Quite cunning for a small town dealer, really

Saw diesel for 70c today. I'd use Gull, but their unmanned stations don't accept my credit card. Edit: This was in Te Irirangi Drive. I think 91 was $1.40.

Pulled the M52B28 and ZF 5 speed out of my 328i Motorsport coupe donor car Deleted the aircon but otherwise leaving engine as is. will leave the clutch and fly wheel upgrades for later down the track. Deleted all the 4 cylinder brackets in the engine bay of the compact, pulled off the front of it to let the M52 through the towers. Deleted the bonnet release on the nose and also on the bonnet it self while i was at it, will be running old school style pins. Put the M52 in the hole, bolted it down, connected power steering lines so they didnt leak any more. had to use the 6 cylinder type lines from the donor car, compact steering rack is unknown condition but will find out soon enough. Put nose back on, and put a M3/318iS type bumper on (not just regular M sport) i had lying around. Still to connect everything up, run battery cable to mount the battery in the cabin some where, swap fuel pumps etc. May put the dash from the coupe into it as well i havent decided yet. At this stage will be keeping it 100% M52 untill the car is running etc just to keep the vairables down, later on will take the manifold off and put an M50 one on i have here, delete the ASC, reroute oil seperator etc. Its a track toy so hence the M50 manifold swap, its a waste of time on a road car. will take some pictures at some stage, but there are some on Euro Car Club page for those that want to look now!

That was a good score Brent

Gave my first born a bath for it's hopefully, new care giver tomorrow.

You would be unwise not to take out a mechanical warranty on your 135i, done 60k, especially if it is an import. Some of what has been previously said is not correct. Give me a call next week if you like. There are good policies & bad

Spotted. Me in a new 320d Was very nice

What a thoroughly nice dealer to deal with. I was in Wellington this week and remembered I needed oil filters for the 320d. An email, and they were waiting for me when I got back - before I had paid for them. (That's obviously sorted!!!) I know there are many other similarly great, service-oriented folk around NZ. Let's make more noise about them!

I can understand the rest as they're personal taste but THIS? Have you driven in NZ before? Being baked alive isn't fun Exact reason I had tints done on the estoril coupe - Driving along the motorway and being blind in one eye through my sunglasses whilst having one side of my face roasted isn't ideal. It does drive extremely well though
