And what a collection!!

Would strongly suggest a hoist...

Seems really well sorted and a more realistic price than some recent ones... https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-2613539262.htm?rsqid=c88cc489b91f4e65a3c2c8d31f529c30-001 Beautiful colour combo with the gold LMs / Blue paint and Dove Grey vadars. Edit: Just saw the plate and realised its a Bimmersport car

Love the wheels. I'd kill for a set of gold lms on my M3 but they seem ridiculously expensive to get here. Had a company quote me 2500 per wheel.

Up for sale is our trusty family vehicle. I have given this to my wife but she says it's a bit too big for her and our lump of dog cannot jump in the rear without assistance. NZ new and meticulously maintained during my ownership. I have literally spared no expense on maintenance and preventative maintenance during my 3 years of ownership. Has 260,xxx kms but most of these kms are highway kms. 4 owners in total including myself (2 I believe were dealerships, and one owner who bought it from new and also used it to commute from Taupo to New Plymouth most times. I have put 20 inch style 87s on her from a 4.6is e53. During my ownership I have also done the whole cooling system within the last 10kms Some of the things I have done, some within the last two months are as follows. *Front suspension bushings - all - Febi Bilstein *Front Ball Joints -Febi Bilstein *Glow plugs and Glow plug controller - all oem BMW * Intake Manifold plus valves carbon cleaned * Front Half Shafts - Febi Bilstein * Front Outer Door Handle Carriers - Meyle * All brake rotors and pads - Febi Bilstein plus Bendix Euro pads * Front Diff oil - Penrite * Transfer Case actuator gear - OEM * Transfer Case Oil - OEM BMW * Transmission flush and filter Change - OEM oil * Rear Diff Oil - Penrite * Fuel filter * Air Filter * Cabin Filter * Panaromic Roof Panel reupholstered. * Power Steering Flush * Brake fluid flush and renewal * New Radiator - June 2019 * New Thermostat June 2019 * New Waterpump June 2019 * New Coolant hoses plus Coolant June 2019 * Cast Iron Turbo Manifold swap - June 2019 * New OEM alternator - June 2019 *New Battery with 36 Month Warranty - May 2020. * New Crankshaft Harmonic Balancer Damper - Feb 2020 * New Tyres March 2020 - Just before lockdown *Fresh Wheel alignment * Fresh Service * New Windscreen with rain sensor for wipers Some of the features are : *Panoramic Sunroof *Heated Seats *ABS *Full Sony stereo and Speakers with steering wheel controls retained * Black Leather all round * 20 Inch style 87s * tinted 35 percent fronts 15 percent rear including windscreen * 20 thousand RUC Kms in credit I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten but things worth mentioning are it does have a few dings on the bonnet from stones etc and supermarket dings here and there but they are barely visable. Also it has broken buttons on the climate control panel but I have ordered a new panel which should be arriving next week. I will regret selling this vehicle, it has by far been the best all round family vehicle I have owned. We have since purchase a X3 which is more suited to my wife (E46 320d for me for my 150km daily round trip) The car is located in Glenfield and can be viewed by appointment. My number is 02102916373 After $12,500 ono which is negotiable to an extent but I guarantee you will not find a more thoroughly maintained or premaintained X5 out there. Here are some pics. Will get better one's of the interior once I have groomed it. https://www.trademe.co.nz/2617719183

Hey all....looking for a m10 flywheel for my 1974 2002 engine swap into my 1602. Cheers

I believe he sold the B7S Dan, went overseas I think.

Oh man,if I had only seen this before the lockdown.:( All the best with the sale bro.

Yea, its a service item. And replacing an old partially clogged one will put less strain on the rest of the fuel system.

Any improvement in your idle issue after removing the SAP? Out of interest is it still running the pre-cat 02 sensors? GLWS will be interesting to see where the market is at..

Didn't notice a significant change when I replaced it but at $50 and given its age certainly won't have hurt!

Mates 328i e36 was having missing and hesitation problems, and we swapped out the fuel filter and problem solved. It was really hard to blow through the old filter.

Two new tensioners and pulleys and new idler pulley arrived yesterday - couldn't beleive how much smoother and damped they are - will put on in the weekend. Car definately feels better with the Vanos seals, just smoother and a bit stronger - particulary taking off from stop, almost feels like the clutch engagement point improved - never was able to take off without a fair amount of thottle before - its smooth as now.

Any update on finding the flywheel?

You can usually get a bit more life out of the pulleys if you pry off the bearing covers and pack them with grease. That one sounds well passed it though. I definitely noticed an improvement doing the vanos seals with low end torque. Wouldn’t need to change up a gear anymore cruising up the harbour bridge at 80ish km/h.

Couldn’t help but park next to this one at work today. Plates even (kind of) match...

I prefer the Magnaflows i've watched on youtube - this is on M54's though - LS would sound badass with anything I'd imagine ?

Man they look sweet..???

As equal lenght as I could... Will get some donuts and tidy them up. Now for the best part of this whole build...the right side???
