Yeh thanks for all of the 'other' incorrect information - Tom. As for the SMG hater, a clutch is only good for dropping. Some of us don't get off on mistreating our cars.

G zeros, followed closely by Titans (with no centre caps of course)

After all this time I never knew that if you held the gear lever forward (or back) while turning off the engine the car stays in gear when stopped...who knew that?

lol on most if not all my BMWs i would need to take the front bumper/lip iff to get up any kind of off the shelf ramp! low is a life style flatcap.jpg

The E36 328i M-Sport coupe came on some very nice BBS's as standard in the UK, I always like them, followed by the M3 Evo Sunflowers for E36.

This..

now if only someone was making mounting brackets for 328is...

So I bought my first car on the week end, but it needs a bit of work... It's a 1985 Bronzit 525e that is half way through a manual swap, it's got manual windows and sunroof but that just means less things to break (I hope). It's a bit of a mess at the moment, most of the center console is taken apart and there is no gearbox or driveshaft in it. The previous owner has done most of the electronics and put the pedal box in.

A lady with a young child drove this car over the harbour bridge & motorway into our workshop yesterday for me to do a pre-purchase inspection. One subframe bolt was completely missing and the other 3 were only secure by 2-3 threads. I have no idea who worked on it and nor does the present owner.

After 25 years it was bound to happen sooner or later! Even if its just a little baby one Anyone have any ideas how to get it out? I really really do NOT want to pull the guard off and break the paint seal Cheers!!! Andy

I believe someone had been trying to sell this for ages on here and now it looks like the people who bought it are selling it. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-922673111.htm EDIT: Found it http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/50835-bmw-e34-525i-touring-nz-new-92-non-sunroof/?hl=%2B1992+%2Btouring

One of these (will also fit E36, E38, etc). Cheapest I can find is NZ$105 shipped but seems a lot for a little piece of metal.

Wahoooo congratulations! :-D

SOLD! to the first person to show any interest and the only person to even see it in person, Cheers Rob I hope you enjoy your drive home today I'm not going to lie I am little gutted about this circumstance, a manual box would've been so awesome xD $3250 if anyones interested.

Can't even see it must be blind

It's launch control procedure (the turning off the engine part isn't, you are suppose to hold the brake and floor the throttle, let go of the lever and hold on)... it's in the manual. If you are on a hill, pull the downshift paddle back and it'll hold it for hill start.

No way!

As some will know BMW have teamed up with the Mission Impossible series on the latest movie. From the photos it looks like they had to have a few takes on some of the action scenes... I wonder what will happen to those cars now., off to the recycling centre I think. What a shame, I'm sure I could save most of those. I'll try not to cry when I think of them when watching the film..

Hows your E30 doing Brett

Rota Grids (not kidding)

Pros: Reasonable mileage, good condition, service history, NZ new, 330i Cons: Not a popular colour combo, beige leather and wood... Non-m-sport, awful wheels, tape deck, no bluetooth $5k may be a little harsh, but certainly nowhere near a $10.5k car - anyone that puts "tyres nitrogen filled" on their car advert has some odd ideas about motoring. I would put it in the $6k range, he is into 6-cylinder E90 money at his asking. Keep an eye on the $1 reserve silver M-sport 330i auction, currnetly at just over $4k (sorry silly browser won't let me copy a link at the moment) to see where that ends up. Since you asked... FWIW, my wife's car is an '04 330d M-Sport touring manual brought it in many moons ago and the purchase price wasn't much above his asking way back then - but it was from the Uk.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/turbos/auction-924778252.htm Wasn't someone looking for a supercharger recently? Looks like it'd be a good starting point!

Hmm thanks for the offer, probably shoulda been more specific, timeframe more like 1-2weeks

Price drop to $14500 to move it on.
