Yep it’s unreal, within Auckland is painfully slow. Over ordered stuff from the states that arrived in 3 days, regularly takes well over a week within Auckland
-
Think NZ couriers are sh*t. Ordered 3 things: One from wellington, one from CHCH and one from Highland park Auckland. I'm in Browns Bay. Wellington was next day. CHCH took 3 days. Highland park was just over a week... Pass the parcel.

Rip out the motor and trans, its too valuable. You're right at that point just swap and LS. Chopping up a M5 doesn't make sense. Unless youre making a ringtaxi clone or something

No more ticky diesel like n52! After hunting around for a good exhaust cam and bearing ledge and no luck I pulled a good one out from a pickapart car. I should’ve done this the first time round i opened it up, the old cam had alot of play resting in the ledges. Happy days! Cleaned up the replacement : Doesn't look out of place… Result! IMG_4400.mov

BBS RF?

Yeah that's crazy. Doesn't even have the M5 body kit anymore. If you wanted an M5 racecar, pretty sure you could grab a stock one for ~$40k, strip it and sell interior, body kit and other no longer needed parts that'd pretty much pay for a roll cage. What's a BBK worth, $5k max? He'd be lucky to get half of that asking price.

There used to be a TradeMe vendor with that, or a very similar name, that used to list a few “odd ball” BMWs for well above market value, and get very snarky in the Q&A when people called him out on it. Got a bit out of hand at one point with a listing for an MCoupe I think it was and then they dissappeared for a bit from TM.

I rekon Oh, this was before my time. Whats the story?
-
You may still need to spend a lot of money on bringing the car up to standard too. The motor (where all the money is) would probably need a refresh (if it hasn't already) because if you lunch it you have a worthless vehicle and will be looking to spend another $15K + rebuild for a replacement.

I ordered something from Chch on the 1st of April. Picked up by NZC on the 2nd. In transit. No further info. Still not seen it. I ordered something from Estonia on the 29th of March. It updated me every step of the way. It was waiting for me at work this morning. Are we spoiled by great world wide shipping? Or does NZ have absolute crap service and I should be more patient?

On the hunt for a Getrag 260 with the CPS holes in bell housing for a PFL E30. I could be open to a later model G260 as well. Happy to travel, thanks!

Seat rails need to be customized and a emulator to get seats to work.

Hi Glenn, I was really impressed by the bait launcher you made—fantastic work! If you wouldn’t mind, would you be willing to share the list of materials you used? I’d truly appreciate it

I would have thought it being gutted and tracked to sh*t would make it far less, not far more valuable?

Well, in its own market it would be the preferred engine.. though not sure why anyone would want a convertible with a diesel soundtack. "This car was imported new from the UK "
-
It's probably all those " kilo newtons " it has...

Oh dear. And I see it’s our old “friend” 1quad1 back again. Thought they had got chucked off TradeMe..?
-
Bump - open to offers. I have had a courier quote of $200 to Hamilton if that helps anyone out.

Sorry to dig this oldie up, I know it's long gone but wondering what was involved with making the E92 seats work in an E46? I imagine seat rails patterns aren't a direct fit and the electronics wouldn't be plug & play either. Was it just a matter of re-pinning some connections or do the E92 seats have modules that require some more intricate tinkering/coding to work?
-
What ever happened to this one? Still registered and road legal according to rego check, does it still have the S54 running gear and everything?
