  1. Hey all. Will let these go for $1000
  2. Hey All, I'm heading to the states in may and unfortunately have to part with my 5x style 5's i've been holding onto to refurbish Off a E39 wagon so will need eccentric rings to work on other models. I was going to refurbish and put onto my missus's E46 wagon. The set is in pretty fair condition considering age, small amount of curb rash on most wheels some worse than others 4x tires are up to WOF standard and all have center caps missing BMW stickers No often does a full set of 5 show up for sale. no missing bolts 235 x 45 Auckland $1500 sorry having trouble uploading pics. can send to your email or phone 0275-294-116 miles

    Few very nice E28's showing up on style 5's so I'll chuck mine in the mix.
  4. Hey, Ive just gone down this road and found that the front two 6x4's in the kick panel have very little space for a larger sized magnet. I could only find one set of shallow mount fusions :-/ that would fit without modding the mounts. After trying multiple brands. Fusion was my last pick but they fit good and sound alright. You will find that the bonnet release lever will get in the way of the speaker covers on passenger side and the side of the dash on the drivers side. With a bit of pushing and shoving these fit the best and look pretty nice. Ill post some photo and the Fusion part number once i get home if you would like?

    So clean! freshly detailed? Beacause she's damn tidy. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Tapatalk
  6. Hey will, I spent all weekend going starting from scratch and going over every test again and replacing any dodgy looking connections and cleaning up all wiring leading to the ECU. I took off all earths i could find and cleaned the contact area and also cleaned up the relay sockets. I unplugged the ECU and plugged it back in. Again i could find nothing obvious but there were a few grimy connections and earth contacts. I did this test again: 1. Switch on the ignition and test that BOTH pins 87-87 of the main relay are outputting +12V. Do a load test with a 21w globe to verify that both outputs are providing the necessary amps. 2. If the above test shows power/amps from both 87-87 outputs, you then need to verify that you have power/amps on pins 86 and 30 on the FPR socket. pin 86 is switched power from the main relay and pin 30 is a permanent live directly from the battery. Which showed that there was 12v and load tested with 21w globe. Both showed good results. Moved to FRP Checked continuity at pin 85 while cranking and this came up good again.. Put everything back in its correct place, Sat down crossed fingers and turned the key.. Boom fired up straight away, Fuel pumps cranking and working fine! The only thing I can put it down to is a dodgy connection or bad earth somewhere. It goes to show that even if connections look clean and tidy there may be a broken connection or one not making enough contact. Or maybe the ECU just needed a wiggle around.. Thank you so much for your help and giving me the inspiration to carry on through this ordeal... as i was getting to the point of frustration. Once running, Clutch hit the floor... gave that a bleed. Once reversing out of garage, brake pedal hit the floor.. gave them a bleed. Road test came up good! Showroom thread to come soon. Thanks Again!
  7. Ok so pins 87-87 of main relay show no output. Bridged 30-87-87 with the FPR in place and fuel pumps worked and car started. Checked all connections/wiring leading to and out of both relays and all looks pretty good. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Tapatalk
  8. Yes sorry, I did the continuity test between 85 and ground and that showed continuity there while cranking. Ill have a play around with the tests you have stated above and hope to find where the problem is originating from as I would prefer to have the car running 100% properly. But if I can bypass by grounding pin 85 I will do that to get it up and running and into a auto sparky. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Let you know if I find the cause!
  9. Ok so i tested between pin 85 and 86 with a test light and cranked. the light came on constantly but did not turn off. I was told that this should turn on and then off? Is it possible to take the plug out of the ECU and test if it is sending a signal? So i can eliminate any wiring issues from the ECU to the relay. Worst case would it be safe to use the jumper wire to fire the fuel pumps and drive the car into my auto sparky?
  10. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes old relay was tested under load and came up good. However I brought a new one just in case. Just checked continuity at socket 85 and earth and that came up good. Car actually started from the fuel left in the rail. Chased the leads back to the ECU as well as i could and everything looks fine from what I can see. Is there a way to test if the crank speed sensor is sending a signal? Thanks for the help.

  11. Ive been using this write up to get this far but it only goes as far as diagnosing a faulty relay. http://www.hiperformancestore.com/motronic.htm
  12. Hi All, Im stuck and in need of some advice from anyone who might be able to give me an idea on what could be going wrong or something im missing. 1985 E28 M535I M30B34 So i have an issue where im pretty sure the ECU is not telling the relay to start the fuel pumps. I have checked the main relay and socket...fine. The fuel pump relay and socket..fine Injectors are pulsing All earths are clean and tight. New battery Crank angle sensor is sending a signal The thing is if i use a jumper wire to bypass the relay both fuel pumps fire up and the car will start and run fine. So since it runs fine im assuming the AFM side of things is working ok? But this is where im stuck. is the only other fault thats likely to cause this going to be within the ECU? How do I diagnose the problem from here? Are ECU's avaliable and is it as easy as swapping them straight out? Thanks for any help!
  13. I can only find 2 series of numbers (M073000 and PR-157-0) and from a quick google search i cant work out if this is the manufacture date or not. The tyres will be going on style 5s to fit an E28. But as i have spent alot of time on the wheels i think i may sell these and buy some good quality tyres to suit. Thanks for your help.
  14. Hi, I have purchased a set of unused Falken azenis 225/45/17 tyres. These tyres had been sitting in a garage away from direct sunlight for a few years and i was aware of this when purchasing them. I have found that all the tyres all have small hairline cracks through the tread pattern or water grooves nearly all the way around the tyre. What is your guys opinion on these. Are they completely rooted and unsafe? or would they be ok to use and warrantable? I am thinking of either selling them or using them as burnout tyres if they are unsafe. Many Thanks,
