  1. i dont think trying new tyres is going to help you locate the issue but it might so i guess its worth a shot if anyone is willing to help. on another note, only 10k kms? thats quite a lot and enough to make tyres go bad. just my opinion. u cud have drove over a pot hole in the past few days that buckled a wheel so having a report or someone say they were sweet 2 weeks ago isnt really going to hold much value.
  2. does it work with a windows 7 laptop? how about mac osx?

  4. cost me $600 at coutts mercedes just for trans fluid service.
  5. I will update the first post with a small things to do list.
  6. gave it a quick wash and vacuumed the sh!t out of it just now. manual conversion is definitely on the list but not urgently. The first thing im going to do tomorrow is to put correct tyre pressure and then an oil and filter change as its pretty yucky atm.
  7. haha it doesnt hurt to ask! the cabby would look good with this retro looking thing in it though!

  11. Haha mike, I kind of knew I would be getting this today but wasnt 100% until i saw it and drove it. The chat did help confirm my initial thoughts. I still quite like the E36 looks wise and its just a great cheap runabout car with plenty of hands on work that can be done. Looking forward to it. I will still keep my eyes open for a nice E46 330ci but thats another story
  12. a friend who came back for a holiday made this mistake when he was driving me around. He started off in the right lane but when he made a right hand turn he ended up on the right hand side of the lane instead of the left. He realised straightaway but I can see how this kind of mistake can happen after living in a country that drives on the other side for a few years.
  13. So, as some of you already know (through my coffee meet chats) I had a Mercedes E class for quite some time and it finally sold this week. Unfortunately I wasn't able to surprise everyone at the meet today but I just picked up an E36 328i Coupe M Sport and thus I am finally back into a BMW where I belong. Its quite rough as it is, but the plan is to tidy it up as much as I can and keep it as a daily driver! Stay tuned! - engine oil and filter change - some basic paint touch ups and bodywork - clean and refit door cards - replace door handle rubber seal - replace headunit and wire up a aux line - install armrest - smoked side indicators - clear or smoked rear lights - paint black kidney grills - apply sunstike tint to top of front windscreen - replace gearknob with the newer round shape - repair left front guard - repaint rear bumper - replace all four tyres with some proper ones soon - replace all speakers - replace key fob batteries and reprogram the central locking - spoiler delete and replace with a lip spoiler - replace front windscreen rubber seal - retrim rear parcel tray from faded grey to black - tint rear windscreen - wheel alignment and balancing - check all suspension components and bushings - front lip - trans fluid change - manual conversion
  14. probably end up closing around the 11-12k mark
  15. wow, 330ci for 4k? only 180ks? 1 nz owner? wow. just wow. you won the bmw game.
  16. Its probably going to be very difficult to sell. Id say list around $18k and expect $15-16k

    Quick rant thread.

    i hate that triangle too..
  18. imo the e36 coupe is one of the most rewarding cars to modify. simple and cheap mods that make a world of difference and bring huge satisfaction.
  19. not trying to make stereotypes but no surprise that someone capable of assulting a person drives a stupid car like that.. (think i just stereotyped. meh)
