Agreed re the wiring cost. I had a tow bar fitting place quote me $400 for an installed wiring kit (that's over and above the actual tow bar cost) The were proposing to use one of these: https://www.trademe.co.nz/trade-me-motors/car-parts-accessories/towbars/auction-5186948391.htm i ended up sourcing one, and did a DIY. Easy to fit and worked perfectly on an LCI e60 with LED tail lights. Also used another one successfully on an LED tail light Audi.

Hahaha I don't disagree....

Looking like he got a decent deal on that atm (pending exploding SMG / rod bearings)…the dealer plate surround on that suggests ‘don’t touch with a 10 foot pole’ to me though. so tempting to convert an E61 M5 to manual

Not me, but this came up on the box yesterday in case anyone else is interested in following along

Hello! Excellent build. Can you tell me the brand diffuser that you originally had (the lesser pronounced one)?

Have some bits leftover from a car I sold over a year ago. Parts have been sitting in storage and just looking to get some space back in the garage. Couple of freebies in there. A bit pic heavy. First in first served. Please let me know if I'm off on pricing or if the mods find anything that needs correcting. Location: WELLINGTON Car: 330ci - M54B30 - AUTO - E46 coupe leather seats front and rear (electric, non heated, M-Sport) + front and rear leather door cards: $400 for the whole set (rear leather headrests are included which aren't pictured) - M54 oil dipstick gasket: $FREE - M54 power steering reservoir gasket - $FREE - M54 oil filler valve cover gasket (seals the engine cover to the valve cover, not the gasket for the oil filler cap itself) - $FREE - M54 Elring OFHG: $FREE - Victor Reinz fuel pump gasket (installed a new fuel pump, but foolishly didn't order the gasket to go with it): $FREE (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-fuel-tank-sending-unit-o-ring-70-39632-00#fitment) - BMW leather service book/records holder: $FREE SOLD - E46 dash centre storage: $FREE (was the tidiest one I could find at the wreckers with minimal scuffs) - E46 coupe trunk lid handle: $50 (in really good condition, just never got round to paint and fitting) - E46 interior trims: $30 (includes sedan + coupe specific shifter surround.

Shipping at buyers cost (can ship BEFORE payment to the regular posters/contributors). Can arrange pick up/delivery anywhere in the Wellington region. SEATS + DOOR CARDS can be picked up or delivered anywhere in Wellington (free) and a bit further north (small gas fee, hope that's fair). Ideally want to avoid shipping but have some pallets laying around that I might be able to stick them on if there's no interest locally. Thanks!

Design breif for the M47 and M57 seem to be to take the already brilliant M42/4 and M52/4 petrol engines, and make them even stronger and tougher.

Had a similar experience recently doing the water pump on the new-to-us X5 3.0d, which by the looks of it runs an identical pump. 290k km's on it and honestly felt brand new, not even slight play in the shaft or anything. No wonder these engines are so revered to this day.

Well after the last post, and always following the do it once do it right my long term cars, I ordered a new waterpump, belt, tensioners, idlers etc, which have been on hand for a while. Only thing not ordered was thermostat (as thats right on the front and easy accessible if ever needed), and the crank pulley which, while a vulnerable part on these M47, was replaced by Graham already. Ive also known since turbo swap that the rubber intake charge pipe could also do with changing, so ordered too. also after last post, the 320d was parked up down the back. With the December rush, christmas break, welcoming my newest son to the world mid jan, and then busy back into it, there its sat for just under three months! Well today being all caught up finally, i booked the day for myself to finally do the pump. Moved some other cars out the way, key in and bumped the key, and started up first pop! Disassembly done, and I was astonished to find the waterpump was a genuine BMW item. Surreeelt not.. I thought. BMW genuine parts as well as many aftermarket ones have manufacture dates cast into the part, and this one, would you believe it, said 02 on it!!!!! Meaning it is either an original part from new and never been changed, or changed within the first 2-3 years of 02. Which means it has done this milage!! Worth remembering, it wasnt even leaking, just a very slight wobble. Tensioner pulleys also replaced, although the tensioner itself prooved within spec, as well as the belt with plenty of life, so reused “old” ones. intake charge pipe also replaced, the rubber all perished due to oil contamination from the turbo failure. New one all good to go. Anyways , back on the road today, and really enjoyed running about in it again!

Yeah it is what I run in my two E89's and my AMG. Oil pressure holds high even when hot. Comparable to Elf Comp imo. Make sure your oil filter housing and oil cooler gaskets are up to scratch before the track. They are cheap and you can do them in a few hours with some fiddling.
-
Thanks for your help with this James. I checked continuity across the clock spring and may have found the issue. I'll have a go at repair otherwise it's replace. Cheers.
-
Nice. @HELLBM if you come across anymore (front or back) I'll be keen.
-
Bought from Ray at HellBM, top service and top bloke! Highly recommended.

There’s lots of things you can replace / service / check that would help, but with the price of diesel and the gain you would get it’s borderline if it stacks up. Basics would be check condition of the air filter, fuel filter and EGR valve. Walnut blast (and clean out inlet manifold whilst in there) can help but is not cheap. A good long hot run to burn some of the crap out including the DPF can sometimes do wonders. At 119K it shouldn’t need injector clean or servicing unless it’s smoking badly.

19" staggered BMW LA wheels - Star Spoke style 230 and Spacers
Kodachrome posted a topic in For Sale
Set of 4. Have 4 tyres on them but only one is usable, the rear, a Firemax 255-30. Original 19" BBS made BMW wheels, were on e90 3 series. Fronts are 8" 37mm offset. Rears are 9" 39mm offset Relatively poor DIY black paint job on all wheels by a previous owner but otherwise Im not aware of any major damage etc to them. Had them on Facebook for $400 but will take any honest offer here. Located in Wellington so pickup preferred but if you arrange courier thats all good too. I also have a set of 15mm spacers with longer bolts, unused, offered at cost price of $120 too. -
Purchased end of 2024, still brand new un boxed. Made from High tensile Chrome-molly steel these flywheels are both light and very strong. Weighing only 4.1kg, will greatly increase the response and acceleration of any vehicle surplus to requirements $580 pickup Pukekohe

Hi mate, I recently fitted an aftermarket towbar to an E70 X5. If you manage to source one, factor in the wiring side of things. I used this wee module which splices into your existing wiring loom: https://anythingelectronic.co.nz/aenz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_85&products_id=455 No errors on the car. Lights, electric brakes, all the basics work like magic.

You're unlikely to have a CCC in a 2012 X5, more likely the slightly newer CIC, which doesn't have the separate CAPPL module in NCS Expert.

Hey is anyone selling a towbar plus wiring for a bmw x5 E70? auckland based

Hi, I have a jap bmw x5 e70 and trying to convert the radio frequency to NZ via kDcan cable and i don’t get the CAPPL file. I need to update the Daten file but how do I do that?
