Just be sure that you purchase RHD versions. On eBay, most will be from LHD vehicles - they have different base plates - will fit up to RHD just fine, but will be set at the wrong angle (ask me how I know!) Regards Paul

Hi there, I need to have my e36 Coupe headlining re-done in the factory Motorsport black / anthracite fabric. I'm in Christchurch, and wondering if anyone can recommend an auto trimmer here that could do the job using the correct type of fabric (colour and thickness). Would ideally like to have a finish as close as possible to the factory finish (the "A" and "C" pillars are good, so would look to keep those untouched) Alternatively I would be interested if anyone knows of a NZ or international source that I could contact for purchasing a couple of metres of the genuine OEM fabric, and I would have a go at doing it myself (using the correct 3M adhesive etc) Cheers Paul

FCP Euro have shipping prices to NZ for a lot less than Pellican...not as much product range though.

Hi there - I have a 1429373 from a 328i M52. $100 Please PM me if you are interested Cheers Paul

Hi there, Sorry - not a BMW parts question, but just wondering if anyone here knows of an Audi S3 being parted out that has some front end parts available - Bumper, xenon headlights, radiator support panel. radiator, AC condensor Parts are for a 2003 8L version (facelift 2000 - 2003 model). Some of the parts may be the same as a standard A3 Any pointers would be appreciated. Would consider any UK or other overseas sources also. Many thanks Paul

Hi - there, The last 6 digits of the part number "735728", followed by "2.5" will be stamped on the intake manifold, just below where the throttle body sits. See the photo of the one for sale at http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=721403663

http://www.turners.co.nz/Cars/Search/BMW/328i/12436304/ Looks to be fairly unidy, but NZ New, and has a couple of rare options for an e36 - PDC and Cruise Control (Whether or not they work would be another question, though!) Reserve looks to be fair...

Hi there, I'm after the following parts for my e38 740i 1999/2000 (M62 Vanos engine) 1) Water cooled alternator. One from a 1999+ 540i or X5 would also do. Needs to be a guaranteed good working item 2) Steering column ignition switch, oem part number is 61326901962 from a 1997 onwards 740i , 750i, 540i or X5. Cheers Paul

Hi there, I have a new (blank) ABs / DSC controller for my 2000 e38 740i, and it needs to be coded to the vehicle. Also probably need the steering angle sensor re-calibrated. I have a mate that had the same job done on his e39 through the BMW dealer, and it was around $250 - $300 to code. Seems a little on the high side given that the dealer in Dunedin can apparently do it for around half that figure, and it doesnt take too long to do. Just wondering if there are any indie shops (or keen DIY'ers!) in ChCh that have the proper gear / software (GT1 / SSS / Progman, or whatever it is) to be able to do this for a reasonable price. Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks Paul

Hi there - I have one listed here: http://www.trademe.co.nz/681531799 Cheers, Paul

Now all you need to do is buy this one, and transfer a few bits over... BMW M5

I hope you give that vendor some bad feedback! Seems very unlikely that a car can be sold in "good condition" then cracks a head a few days later... Good luck - hope you manage to get a good price for it (although you would probably make more by parting it out - if you had the time / space / patience!)

Hi Andy, Can I please order 2 x plates like this: ADF781 - pair of standard NZ euro plates with blue ferns. I will make the payment now and it will be in your account tomorrow morning. Will PM you also. Cheers Paul

Hi, I'm after an interior door card for the drivers door of a 2004 e60 5 Series. Black "Dakota" Leather, and wood trim, although the wood trim part is not too important as I can swap this out. If anyone knows of an e60 being wrecked that may have one of these, please let me know. Thanks Paul

Hi, has anyone looked at this 540i for sale? 540i I would be interested to hear an opinion on how tidy it is on the inside, how well it appears to be looked after, and how it drives. It's a South African import, which I have heard is not such a good thing? although it came to NZ only after about a year after manufacture. I drove a NZ new 1996 model in Christchurch the other day, and it had done "only" 170km, but it wasnt a particularly good example - felt a bit tired, which I wasn't expecting for it's relatively low kms. (my "clocked" jap import 525i showing 170km drove way better) Cheers Paul

Hi, do these include tyres? and what part of NZ are you in? Thanks, paul

Bump Still looking for one...
