    Leather on the seats looks mint. Must have redone them? Would be much better with the mtech 1 front valance to complete it. Some don't like the 4 doors much but I like them. Reminds me of my mitsi's. Sporty but also convenient for a full car load on a road trip. I wouldn't hate owning a 4 door 325i facelift with mtech 2 kit. Would be cheaper than genuine mtech 2 coupe as well. Plus would be something the kids can ride in. The 320i M52B28 swapped going at the moment is nice. The workmeister wheels to.

    Update from this, suddenly there is no leak? weird... could not explain it. clean the oil, then it leaked. clean it again, leak. And now, there is no leak. Am happy now

    The scary thing about the S65 is the #1 main bearing issue (which is not a problem on the S85 it seems). And obviously getting to the main bearings to replace them is a significantly bigger job than just the rod bearings. I've read that main bearing issue mostly effects DCT cars with auto stop/start though which makes sense.

    Done on purpose? It's like he had the wheel arches rolled and then decided to do the rest of the guard while at it...

    WTF is going on with that right front quarter panel?

    Elias’ E30 project

    elias replied to elias's topic in Projects

    Recent progress. Machined a cup for the shift carrier bushing, m8 thread in the back, bolts through existing hole in the chassis. Hooked up the shift linkage and selects all gears nicely, fresh bushing and shift cup went in too. finished up installing the bloody driveshaft hoops, still annoyed they have to be put in, they’re a waste of time/space and holes in my chassis. Front hoop was pretty tricky to fit with how close everything is using the zf box, shifter and driveshaft in the e30 chassis. Put a new e30 hanger bearing onto the e36 driveshaft. then carpet could finally go back in along with seats, Center console etc, starting to look whole again now. Also ran the wires for the reverse light switch from the gearbox up through a fresh genuine shifter grommet to keep noise/dirt/water out. Next step is getting a radiator sorted and mounted in the engine bay and to figure out what coolant hoses to use.

    No it would be V10 or I would stick with the Turbo M30. I have actually seen too many S65's lunch themselves for me to have any interest in them.

    Silver! That's being kind. I'd call is 'polished grey primer'.

    Ahah! That is one ugly car. Those wheels- make it look like a roller skate. And whatever is up with the panels? Good to see there are two spare gear knobs- just in case they like to feel something different?

    My 125i Build

    Hutty008 replied to Hutty008's topic in Projects

    A few bits done on the 125i. Changed for silver to shadow line trim. Changed the wheels for style 313's. Put a 125i badge on as it didn't have one, and it look like the previous owner removed the old badge with a hammer a chisel, after a good polish a lot of the scratches came out, I also made sure to install it to the factory measurements. Also put a the factory 135i boot lip on it. Replaced the missing warning triangle. Changed the faded side indicators, fog lights and angel eyes for led ones.

    Legend. I have decided a few months back on a V10 M6 and manual swap as my next big project but I really want to upgrade my garage first so I can do it with a lift. 500hp in an E28 will be crazy.

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5495480080 Why do people pile money into the lowest value BMW on the planet? It's manual... but... that's all it has going for it. M43! Ok, it will last forever.
  19. topnotchrally
    Seems like that's something that should be mentioned in the ad.... pointing out that the rego is on hold, to me, implies it might be road legal where as it seems to be far from it. I suppose the 'drift car' heading could be warning enough. 😀

    That thing will likely never have a WOF again in its life

    I was meaning the sellers other listings.

    What a surprise, my old one's back up with a different plate on TradeMe for a few grand more than they paid.
  23. Kodachrome
    Road! The s65 (v8 version) might be the better race engine if you had the option! Same gearbox on both.
  24. E30 325i Rag-Top
    I think there’s a couple of other factors in the desirability, and hence pricing of this M2 CS listing. 1. It’s very low mileage at only 10,000kms and 2. It’s a manual. The closest non-CS M2 the moment is also a 2021 Comp, slightly more kms and not a manual. That one has just been reduced to $84k. Is the CS that much better? Depends on what you want out of it.. can’t see the buyer really pushing their low kms CS on a track to feel the difference, more likely to keep it for sunny days and rarity value.

    BMW e60 alloys

    Bmwfan87 posted a topic in Want to buy

    Heya all looking for something like this, as a spear alloy. Needs to be the same.
  27. Driftit
    Nice. I was thinking about getting rid of all my M30 stuff and doing the same with my E34. Race car or road car?
  28. Kodachrome
    As it happens no, in possibly a move for the ages in terms of stupidity, Ive purchased an S85 complete engine and manual gearbox. V10 8250rpm, manual powered e28!

    Chasing that s54?
