  1. @qube That's Bennyboy I think. He's based in Napier.
  2. Hi Brent, I ended up getting some 16x8 Et20s. Still waiting for them to arrive in NZ. I been told 225/45/16 is the way to go. But these are very hard to find. Hyper nz does have some tyres in this size.
  3. Common guys, he's spent the 20k on getting 147kw dialled in!
  4. Would absolutely love this in my E28!!!!?. Will get back to you after lotto this weekend. Anyway, back to the original topic. I honestly think BMW has lost it's soul after going turbo. The new petrol engines sound like a diesel motor. Yeah fuel this fuel that, bla bla bla... At least the M cars should have been kept NA straight 6/V8/V10/V12. But hey, everyone is on the turbo bandwagon now and this may be the way of the future till we go full retard, oops I meant electric.
  5. It's very nice indeed. But there was a Diamond Schwarz one that was asking 25k in Rotorua which was in very good condition too. And I thought that was really testing the market. $50k... IMO I would rather buy a normal E30 coupe shell, put a S54 in it, run it with just two seats and half a cage. Or Spend it all on hookers and blow.
  6. Haha, I got the 15inch ones for E30 (4x100) which will never go for sale. These were supposed to go on the E28 but decided to keep the car, so don't need these anymore.
  7. For sale: 15x7 Et20 5x120 Basketweaves. With Bridgestone tyres 205/60/15 x2 Goodyear 195/60/15 x2 Tread is about 3mm. One rim has some curbing. Three BMW logos are missing from the caps. $450 ONO, you can SMS me also on 0211804565 Pickup from Mount Roskill, Auckland Cheers.
  8. Thinking of getting some 16 inch BBS reps for the E30. I am guessing the biggest risk is these will easily get damaged going over pot holes and are only suited for everyday driving at a normal pace. Anything else I should be worried about? Sizing is 16x8 and 16x9 with ET20 on both. Car is gonna be lowered slightly.
  9. Hi Andrew, I am guessing you are a new member? Welcome. 200k is a high mileage car. Does it come with full service history? I would highly recommend getting a pre-purchase inspection done and from an independent BMW garage. If I was shopping for a car around the 7k budget, I would be looking at a different car. Maybe an E46? Regards
  10. They are the 17 inch staggered version - 17x8 and 17x9. I can't remember the code, will look it up.
  11. Oh man that looks so good. And especially if the M stripes were blue and red. http://ultimateklasse.com/blog/2014/9/4/bjrns-e28-m535i great video at the end. Ooh sunny day in Auckland today and tomorrow. Gonna take the e28 to work.
  12. Oh man a white M535i with M stripes and gold BBS mesh wheels.
  13. Don't think so. I may be wrong.
  14. Will try that, cheers Hercules.
  15. Do you have spare parts for it that you may be interested in selling?
  16. Man two E30 mtech 1s for sale within one month and that too both in Diamond schawrz colour. Damn! 15k if all the rust is taken care of and comes with all the original bits. I paid 16k for mine last week. NZ new, full documentation from new, has all the original bits minus a couple of small things here and there. The previous owner had it for 15 years!
  17. My vote goes to Rothmans. Stick some gold mesh wheels... oh la la.
  18. So the E30 came with these gorgeous mud flaps that I would like to save for the museum, problem is removing them. They seem to be attached with these hex type screws but none of the Allen keys are fitting into the screw head. Pics attached for better explanation. Any tips on how to get these off? Cheers.
  19. Is there any other options?
  20. Kiwiplates... $1200 for one frickin plate in Euro design. What an absolute RIP off...
