only done 100 odd kms. real good nick, owner not a BS member but looked after it well. would be great with a manual box in! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-250500249.htm any other questions not answered on TM or for viewing direct them to luke. Car is currently in Dunedin. 027 3102805

cant confirm yet as car not with me til the end of the week but that sounds good. can you get me a price so i know what im dealing with? incl shipping etc if you can? would like it intact as much as possible with the bolts ons incl so i have less i could potentially stuff up. i could ship old engine/bolts on's on back to you if wanted? is there alot more work needed to fit a alloy m52? Thanks mate, liam

not sure? i believe its a non vanos because its a 1992?

its a auto and 2.5L, im really looking for a simple conversion that wont need much (if any) modifications. something that can just be dropped in and away. does going from m50 to m52 fit this? would it just be a case of different engine mounts? how much modification does the loom need coz i couldnt do this myself?... and a 2.5L m50 from a e36 is alloy right? but the same block? what do you recommend? i would love to get abit more power out of her but also get it back on the road soon and are limited by lack of funds atm! Thanks heaps! Liam

good point, 20 extra HP doesnt seem worth the hassle for a older engine...

Hi there, while away on our ski'n adventure we had some trouble! Turns out the radiator we had was brittle and the top hose mount snapped on the bumpy ski access sending fluid everywhere! pulling over straight away wasnt quick enough to save her as the head has gone. Now wanting to know how much a replacement engine should set me back incl shipping to dunedin and also how much a m30b35 and box is to see if i could justify a upgrade. i understand as i have the m50 motor some minor loom adjustments would be needed for upgrade? would love it if the engine was as complete as possible as i would be attemping transplant myself for the most part and arnt the most knowledgable.. thanks heaps! i would love to get this girl back on the road in the next 6 months or so as it wil be dependant on funds! im a student liam

that sounds awesome! i hear they make pretty good rally cars with VW 4x4 units and a s14 engine! well done rick good deal! alot of fun i bet.

hi there, havent owned car for long but opportunity come up to head overseas for the uni holidays with friends so could let this go and downgrade in the next few weeks. white NZ new e34 touring 525i. full service history with bmw dealers up until 40k ago. currently on approx 230k. auto with sportmode. massive sun roof which opens both ways! very cool! in great condition! runs very well though my mother has told me it doesnt idle well when cold sometimes.-has always run well for me so cant comment. ready for a service about now but because im a student i cant look after it as well as id like too! only issues car has to my knowledge: loose wiring in tailgate, dash sometimes showing door open when its not the case. rubber worn on back passenger window which means winding window up can be a issue as it rubs. car is driven daily and has been amazing on trips away with the extra boot space. will be missed esp in the ski season! would be looking for $4000.00 but as im very keen to join my friends this holidays i might take something lower.. will arange pictures soon! thanks, liam

i have a NZ new e34 525i touring that i might be looking to sell. havent owned it long but could use the funds to get overseas for the uni holidays! PM if your are interested car is in dunedin. liam

thanks brent! will take a look tomorrow and see how i get on.

anyone?? its holidays atm and would love to get it sorted thanks..

Help please! Only had the car a few weeks but knew there would be some little things that needed doing. door sensor off i think? dash beeps at me saying a door is open when its not-how do i know which sensor needs to be replaced? and can i disarm this in the meantime? Car not idle'ng at all. She starts ok but if i take my foot off the gas the revs drop to below 500 rpm and stalls. any ideas? i would rather not take it to bmw in dunedin for a full service as im a poor student, but if thats whats needed to test i will do. is it as simple as running a diagnostic to determine fault?? it could be a number of things right? car in really good nick with full service history........ *UPDATED* liam

lol, off topic but i LOVE the barn door quote...best of 2009! +1! liam

that 323i on trademe for $2500 doesnt have the LSD fwi. the lsd was a optional extra and when i spoke with him he was only going by what he was told....

choice thanks..
