  2. Hi, I will be listing this elsewhere shortly, however I thought I’d put it into the forum first - more photos to come or you can reach me on 02102756544 1990 BMW e30 325i SE / Factory Manual - 82,000 miles - $25,000 - Imported form the UK in 1995 In my 4 years of ownerships it has had all servicing work done by Apex Auto - injectors, fuel pump, brakes all round, cambelt, etc I would consider swaps/trades for high mileage e46 M3…. **plate not included
  3. Hello everyone, hope all is well. I'm currently in the works of replacing the bushings on my E46 chassis and have found that the rear trailing arm bushings have shot at 180,000kms. Two are to be replaced which is not too hard but the tool required isn't common so I was wondering if anyone on the forum would know any shops in Auckland that would have this particular tool for hire? Purchasing a $150 tool (80 + shipping from UK/EU) for a one-off job seems a bit overkill. Any knowledge in regards to this would be greatly appreciated, Thank you so much!
  4. This is a used imported part that I got into the country from England . It’s now not needed as the technician made a mistake in his advice as to what was needed . This part is the correct part for my yr 2000 E46 330ci cabriolet. You can check if it will fit yours by referencing the part numbers in the pic . The key number for my car was that number that ran as 358 375 444 …. I fitted the part and scanned it . It has no embedded faults and also reported ( correctly) what my fault was . ( a solenoid) Heads up …. These ecu are actually fairly reliable, if you have a roof fault it’s likely something else playing up . Having told you that . It’s still worth buying as a spare , cause you won’t get another anytime soon if you do need one . I know this as real world experience The trademe price is 200 dollars If you are interested , contact me , or make an offer from your phone in the mobile TM application . cheers les
  5. I have a modified TV module with a digital tuner card installed for sale. see: Webpage. Plug and play, no changes required. Just swap out your obsolete module and get TV again.. $150
  6. Well I bought a set of BBS RK500's a few months ago and have been restoring them since. I snapped one bolt when reassembling them so took it to the local wheel repair shop and they managed to crack the barrel in several places and swear it wasn't them who damaged the wheel, ignoring my proof of the barrel without cracks before I dropped them off. So unfortunately I'm on the hunt for just one 17x8 ET38 BBS RK500 Barrel. It's a long shot but I've spent way to much on these wheels to give up now. Wiling to travel across NZ
  7. So recently I've had a load of issues with my e46 320i. It's at the point where I think the engine is reaching the end of its days or at the very least less and less worth it to repair I had a misfire, changed all the plugs and coils seemed OK then misfire again its at around 240k miles. Haven't taken it in again as I don't know what it is now. I was planning on a m54b30 swap but don't know if its worth it anymore. There's a few cosmetic and other things that are needed to. The big thing is I really want to keep the hellrot color one of the big reasons I got it. Odds of finding a 330i hellrot with a sunroof are pretty low. Although I just started looking. Posting here just to get some advice, should I try to swap and fix her up or cut my losses. I can admit I'm overly sentimental about it. Anyone had a similar situation or any advice would be appreciated.
  8. on the hunt for a reasonably tidy somewhat low Ks e46 330i sedan or wagon, preferably wagon. will pay a premium for factory manual and low ks however unlikely, converted manual is ok as long as ZF and certified not in a rush to buy and happy to wait for the right car Big plus if under 130,000 kms, dark interior, all the problematic maintenance records eg. rear subframe reinforced, gaskets, control arms ect. Could go upto $15-20k depending.
  9. I have an E28 with an M54B30 in it (and manual box) from an E46/E34 (box). Its great. As its a custom job I had to make up my own intake. I made an inverted cone (venturi, vortex) style intake. I later found there is an aftermarket company making a commercial version for a couple of grand a pop. Photos of my design below. I also designed a new ducted heatlight cover (from back of E28 headlights straight to intake). Been running it for over a year now, hot and cold weather, no issues. I made it from carbon fiber infused PETG though I might switch to Polycarbonate (which is a bitch to print but is even tougher as a material). It goes well and sounds loud. Too loud for my liking. So Id love to make a "version" of the mythical and sadly now NLA BMW Performance Intake for the E46. This one: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-bmw-parts/bmw-performance-air-intake-no-longer-available/13720429613/ Its dyno tested as delivering the top performance for all intake replacements. Not sure how or why its so good as Ive never seen it in person. Short of borrowing one from someone for measurements in person (any in NZ??), I'd need photos of every part of it, measurements or some sort of scale. Anyone up for saving this part of E46 history before its gone gone?
  10. I have doubts about the swap when the electrical wiring, does anyone know if I have a DME from the 1.8 wiring if it is compatible for the new m54 engine, I had an accident with my e46 330ci and it was declared a total loss and I have a complete car to do a swap which I want to do on my z3. If someone could help me I appreciate it, thanks
  11. Having owned this wagon nearly eleven years (purchased 28 Mar 2012) and mentioned it several times over the years on this forum, "why not start a showroom thread" I wondered aloud yesterday - so here we are. A potted history I wanted another BMW, having sold my e30 325i Touring back in '01. Needed a replacement for our family car (A32 Maxima) and fancied an e39 Touring e39 eliminated as Mrs Olaf thought them ugly e46 fitted the bill, though in 2012 330i tourings were very rarely sold, and 325i's were generally ~$15-20k from dealers. e91 6 cyl were still over $20k and beyond my budget. This one had dropped from ~$16k to the $12k range. 112k kms, fresh import from Japan, good order, best colour - Orientblau metallic. Got it inspected, flew to Auckland and bought it. Drove it to Wellington, it broke down the next day (fuel gauge issue later sorted with replacement pump). Remedial maintenance sorted by BMW Specialist in Welly. Did an Easter Tour to Auckland and back laden with family and it performed flawlessly We've had lots of fun with it over the years and done a shedload of maintenance on it. Here it is about a fortnight after we bought it, after I'd spent time on full body detail. More later.
  12. Hey All. First time BMW owner in the Bay of Plenty, call me whatever you want tbh haha. Thought since i'd like to keep my euro 1999 e46 m54 silbersaloon around a while. These cars do funny things, lastnight the radiator bleeder screw decided to break with 2/3rds of it still in the hose to go along with the self-lubricating cassis and leaky radiator, eh the expansion tanks holding strong lol. Ive been lurking as a visitor since July 2022 cant look from the outside in forever though. So, it's nice to be amongst knowledgeable folks :)
  13. E46 M3 Coupe Interior bits. Rear seats, front & rear door cards & silver trim all in great condition. Not sure what to value these bits at bought as a set but only needed the front seats, everything else is surplus.. Not sure what to value this at but message me what you’re after - 0275253050 Will potentially ship if buyer pays shipping but would prefer pick up in Rangiora. Sorry front seats aren’t available.
  14. This will serve as a diary of my love-hate relationship with this wonderful menace of a machine. Have a whole heap of catching up to do with all that's gone on since I took ownership, and a whole heap more coming up on the horizon. Will be jumping into the full documentation shortly. But for now... looks tasty from afar, don't it?

  20. Hey everyone! Been lurking in the shadows looking at the wealth of information here! Only now deciding to actually make an account. Got a 318i vert factory manual about a year ago and looking to give it a good refresh and pretty soon swap in a m54b25 out of a donor car (lapsed rego 2002 325i) into it! Just done a front bushing refresh (tie rods, controll arms, swaybar end links), cooling system replacement and also just finished off an airbag light diagnosis, a deep dive that was. Stoked to be a part of the community, and starting to really love these cars. Would also love an E39 540 wagon, my absolute dream. Photos of my very and the donor car. P.s.any guidance for the engine swap would be welcomed
  21. Just found out there is a rare? 330ci clubsport list on TM, what’s the price range for CS version go for these days, is the asking price fair? pretty fun it come with the M3 interior and that estoril blue looks so good tho... Anyone contact the buyer or view the car before? https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3050514012.htm
  22. He folks, So I have recently ended up with an 5spd Manual 325i e46 with around 110xxx ks on it, but the body is in rough shape so i see no point fixing it up when i could use the transmission for my auto 330ci and scrap the rest. Ideally i would just buy a manual transmission kit out of another 330ci, but as most of you know it's hard to find good condition ZF parts in NZ. So I'm just looking for some advise to start off i.e. what additional parts & components will I need to make that 325i trans work in my 330ci? Any help is much appreciated !
  23. Hello All, I am the E46 Bimmer owner who living in Auckland in the future, the reason is due COVID-19 i need to stay in Hong Kong at that moment until border release in Kiwi. Anyway, before car is E36 323i and now have the E46 M3 in Kiwi. Hope can back to see my M3 soon Cheers
