Having a tidy up in prep for a hot rod show E36 m3 E30 Schnitzer 2.8 E39 540i6

So my baby is packing a sad, throwing a tanty. It's a 87 pfl E30 325 converted to manual with 1.3 ECU upgrade. Currently its missing horribly while accelerating and will miss not so much when cruising along, but will get worse if going up hill. Another issue ive been having is id be driving along fine and then all of a sudden the car would kind of die. So if revs were 2000 they would drop to 500 all of a sudden then about half a second later would jump back up to 2000 causing car to lurch horribly. And it would do this quite often. I disconnected the battery terminal for a couple hours and the problem went away almost. Any thoughts?

Hope you speak Chinese.

Really? It's a privately owned car and I HIGHLY doubt that the owner needs the money that you could offer for a ride. If you want to drive a Lambo you're better off looking at something like www.freemanxexperience.com

With that kind of driveway pornography im glad all we can see is feet

Nice shoes

Got something here for you Mike.

Go see Kayne Barrie, he seems to be the goto expert on BMW diffs and gearbox's. PS. Neil Allport has a good reputation over a long period of time, but typically in jappa 4wd rally or old school rally, as opposed to Euro.

you're right it does make it tough. But there are still plenty of Ceferios Laurels Skylines etc that are no way legal etc I know plenty of people that do certain things to get a WOF and then change it all back after etc

Installed a CD43 into my E36 along with an Anycar Link for bluetooth music and handsfree calling by routing a mic to the centre vent.

Is most goods! Also iPhones have a sweet zoom

They should never be put in the attic. Even putting an M50 in the boot of your car gains you 30HP. Just ask Ron

I'm not sure if it still the case, but CAPTCHA isn't as random as it seems. The words/ phrases come from the computers ( and companies ) which are digitising books. The words which you are trying to guess, are words or phrases from scanned text which the computer couldn't make out, or wants confirmation it's guess is correct. Again, this may not be correct anymore, but that's certainly what it used to do.

Sign on wall says otago university so I'm gun a say Dunedin... Is this the one that parks up by Roslyn fire station? If so I go past every day and wonder how that thing is so pristine!

False. you cant say c3/c4 is better than a3/b4. its really apples and oranges. these are all Acea ( automobile constructors european union) ratings a3/b4 is the main oil rating for capabilities such as drain intervals and shear strength etc the stuff that really defines an oil. a3 is the petrol engine grade b4 is the diesel engine grade. so a a3/b3 will perform the same in a petrol engine as an a3/b4 but not as well in a diesel engine. C3 and C4 are catalyst compatibility rating for diesels with a diesel particulate filter. these rating measure completly different capabilities of the oil, mainly when its burnt and creates soot pariticles. so in many years your diesel engine will be able to use a higher grade a9/b13 oil (or whatever they bring out thats better) but it will always require an oil that is compatable with c3 or c4 ratings for the Diesel particulate filter. a5/b5 and c4 are the most stringent ratings so i would agree the penrite enviro+ range which meets both would be an ideal oil for either petrol or diesel bmws. and just for reference most ratings rate both diesel and petrol engines. the other main gradings you will find in nz will be the API ratings which are often SM/CF or SN/CF These are S for petrol (Spark ignition being S) And C for diesel ( Compression ignition being C) So a SM/CF and SN/CF would both be the same in diesels but the SN would be better in a petrol engine. but again looking for the C3 or C4 rating if you have a DPF hope this helps.

German plate from Germanplates.com. Not convinced of the plate surround. Might look at stiffening it all up over the weekend with some super aggressive velcro type product I have kicking around. Be my luck the front falls off and goes flying into the opposite lane on the Mway.

i dont understand why the engine from your M3 isn't in that wagon yet. Edit: just don't get michael involved, it will take 6 years to complete
