    MHD is easier than JB4, as there's no hardware to install. Honestly it's pretty hard to screw up, just as long as you choose a suitable map for your car's fuel and upgrades. It makes the ECU flashing process dead simple. Plug in your phone, choose a map, install - let it do it's thing for a couple minutes, and then when it's done you're good to go. I'd say it's safer, as it works by modifying the ECU software so the ECU is still in control.Rather than a piggyback that works by trying to fool the ECU by feeding it altered readings from sensors. I have had my car running MHD tunes for years.

    1972 BMW 3.0S - manual. I'd thought I'd see if there is any interest in the car here before firing onto other car sales sites. The car hasnt been restored, but had any rust cut out and a bare metal respray back in 2006 by the Surgery in Tawa. The seats were reupholstered in materials closely matching the original textures and colours at the same time. Car is a good runner - I suspect that the engine had some work prior to us purchasing the car - in January we took it on a camping road trip - Wellington to Coromandel via the East Coast - only issue was perished rubber exhaust hangers that needed to be replaced on route. Huge amount of spares available with the car including panel cuts from a rust free 2500 we wrecked. Car is currently on 15 inch E34 rims - but there are a number of 14 inch wheel options within the spares including... virtually unused set of steel wheels, hubcaps and trims, two sets of the correct option alloy wheels and hubcaps, and a genuine set of 1970s Minilite alloys. Included in the sale is set of BMW Workshop manuals for the E3, Part 2 of the parts manual for the E3, original brochures from the Earl's Court Motor Show that the original owner got prior to purchasing the car, and a pair of Midlock carb balancers for setting up the carbies. This isnt a car I had intended to sell, but but health has taken a major turn for the worse - and I need to empty my garage I was hoping to get around $12K for the car, but am open to offers

    If they are your typical Monroes like the Reflex then they have always been sh*t on any car in my experience., they don't even last long and have poor ride quality and handling. B4's or factory Sachs M sport are really your only decent option before the prices ramp up considerably. Cant hurt to get the old ones dyno tested if its cheap enough, i couldn't say they would automatically be stuff given we dont know their history. New ones will always be better but ones mans bank is could be another mans loose change.

    Heres some interior pikkies - I'll do some exterior ones once the weather clears. The car has the "big toolkit" and its only missing the pick for adjusting the tappets. The steering wheel is a factory option one that came from a highly spec'ed 3.0Si that we owned - original wheel is included in the spares Only trim inside the cabin that was retrimmed was the seats - carpets are original. I replaced the original english spec Panasonic cassette player with an early Alpine unit - the original is in the spares, along with a period OEM spec Blaupunkt . The car did very little miles in the UK - the original owner brought this solely as an investment whilst on his OE - so the underside has had no exposure to the typical salted roads The rust in the car was around the chrome trims and the usual E3 rust traps - leading edge of the bonnet was probably the worst. The car's WoF expires this month - but will be WoFed when sold, and the car is located in Wellington

    Heya Darryl, good to see you here! One of my images of your lovely E3 from the Brit and Euro show was in the Autumn issue of DIXI (BMW Car Club NZ quarterly magazine). Folks, this car is a beaut. If you’re thinking of an E3, you should certainly move quickly.

    For a day to day commuter Pete, you’ll love it. Saw it in the workshop. Very cool colour and beaut condition. You’ll probably think the fuel gauge is stuck compared to the other two.
