Could be anyone with a mortgage…

I checked the plate through Carjam as hers had a personalised plate, not hers, although yours did have an interesting plate previously.

A woman at work had a white one, spent $4,800 on fixing it (I said don't bother) and then about 8-9 months later, got another bill for ~$2k. She then sold it. Looks like a fun project once it's finished.

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
Palazzo replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
Wonder if they actually have the code for the stereo? -
Happily sitting in my dads garage, having just had a new(er) LSD fitted.
-
Don’t they all have black headliners if they are m325is? Or am I misunderstanding your question?
-
They have pumps and complete racks on there for €450-600 plus shipping. No idea if the parts numbers are correct, but worth a look if you get stuck.

https://spareto.com/products/bmw-repair-set-sensor/32106769232 I’ll admit I’m a bit confused, is this what you’re after?

Mine went up 15%, in laws went up 39%.

Seem to be under $500 delivered from overseas.

I’d be a happy man with that in that colour sitting in the garage for weekends.
-
The Ebbett Skoda site does mention that. ^^^

Far out. My natural suspicion of VAG products remains, pity because I thought Skoda had somehow avoided it. Sorry to hear.
-
Are you saying you’ve spent $4.5k on it since you’ve owned it? On what?
-
Does the CGA apply? Normal life of a water pump is more than 2 years….
-
Good grief. Given the typical parts mark up, that’s probably still a profit to them.

I used a company in New Lynn to do 4 wheels, they were helpful and cheap. https://www.powdercoatingfactory.co.nz/index.html

I know, that’s why I try and give the current petrol one a motorway run regularly.
-
She has walked it a few times, but Auckland weather in winter….especially this year. Plus I develop gorse pocket syndrome every time I see the price of one.
-
Thinking of changing a car, maybe to a 1 or 3 series diesel. But, it will only do short trips, like 2km each way. Plan is that it gets a scheduled motorway or longer run every two weeks. Am I asking for trouble?

And fixing the roads and roadscape. It’s amazing how many roads have power poles or large boulders (King Country especially) only a few feet or less off the driving line. There’s no leeway.

https://www.hgperformance.co/blog/bmw-rod-bearings-their-maintenance/#:~:text=BMW Rod Bearing Maintenance&text=The original rod bearings should,for a high-performing vehicle. Found the answer, a new bearing design from 2011 on and these guys reckon their solution is permanent.
-
Question. If you do the rod bearings on one of these, are we one and done with improved bearings (?), or a recurring problem? And if recurring, how often?
-
Waze is great. There seems to be a bit more uptake on it.

I love the work you’re putting into this.
