Engine moved to my home garage, and fully re-assembled. Using the m30 in the 7 series as reference Made up some custom hoses out out of a mix of m20 and m30 factory hoses. Lots of cleaning of parts Picked up a single mass flywheel from an e28 from Brent, along with a matching PP and clutch. Had them all reconned by Auto Clutch. Clean m30 pattern g260 Going in In! Time for beersies. Issues with steering linkage clearance - going to have to do something with the manifold. Brake booster clearance problems too. VW brake booster for some more rooms Just barely VW brake booster painted and installed - much better. More to come

But I can get a "M5 Tuned" 545i "sports model" for $16k and that's a newer car! Based on that I'll offer you $12k Martin.

I have two problems, One you are in auckland, and second i lack any good wheels =D

I got caught like this a couple of years ago on a E39 528i. Some a**hole removed a thermostat and fitted a frost plug into the head where the flow direction part of the thermostat should seat, so that water would circulate correctly without thermostat control. I fitted a thermostat while doing cooling system repairs and ended up with the results you are getting. I only found it because the car was on a hoist and raised slightly and I saw it while removing and rechecking the thermostat. The cheap a**hole might have worked on your car as well sometime.... I have photos somewhere

$900 ono is pretty cheap bro.. (check your title)

M67TUD44

Full set, all 4 wheels will be done for $300 to $350

Just thought I'd remake my M3 thread as I managed to delete all photos from my profile. (Admin feel free to delete old one) A few minor changes since the last thread.

G'day, Took the old girl today for a ride to the city and to watch the sunset. I have owned her for three months, and it's an absolute pleasure driving her. She does get a little extra attention, unfortunately.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1023048630.htm This one is M3 spec! Haha.

Never dealt with them but heard good things. Them or Sherson auto centre,

^ I'll pay over the odds, $1000 SJ, how does that sound?

He was probably BS'd by some dodgy tuner or mechanic and isn't too clued up. I don't think someone would knowingly advertise such BS on Trademe...

Can also vouch for Jasjot he has done quite a few jobs for me now highly recommend. good service, fast, and well priced.

its truely ugly and should be crushed immediately.

That's an awesome price mate

Can vouch for this. Half the wheels above are/were mine. Excellent finish every time.

1st track day in my franken30! Was a blast! although a few problems came up which ill have to sort out. Most concerning is the temp gauge rising after 3-4 laps, Ill be looking at getting an alloy rad and an oil cooler before my next outing in march! Not so serious is the lack of traction out of corners, I foolishly stiffened my rear shocks before the track day and assumed the semi slicks would be enough... no no no. All about seat time now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L50apzukzpo (dont know how to embed)

^ same question.

My apologies for asking a silly question but is that $300/$350 per wheel or for all fours?

well, I could do. not so sure about the Uro crowd though. it's on H&R Sportsprings, so whilst it's still FWD and all, it's reasonably composed. If only I hadn't gone for those Yokohamas last time... I'd be tempted to sell it for a really tidy 00 or 01 740i, I reckon.

can I piggy back on this , I too am in need of a welder but in Auckland . 6 reinforcing brackets for the e36 rear end. Can pay cash or trade ( I have some second hand bistein shocks in good nic ) I can do all the donkey work cleaning , grinding , beer opening

I have a M62B35 with all the modules that would go well in it...lol

Lexus V8 would go well if you want a fairly poor HP to dollar upgrade

RB30

Glad the sticker did its job as intended! Only put it on the night before too.

They're like the poke'mons, "gotta catch them all!"

I would say it's not bled properly and you've got an air lock

Yeah check what it's like with suspension close to fully compressed as that's where it will be when you have your foot up it and the cvs will last longer the straighter you can keep them, especially with the extra torque

i love it when people offer "$xxx.... IN CASH" or "COLD HARD CASH IN HAND" lol.. how else are you gonna pay? warm soft cash? smh

I've got enough pre Christmas problem jobs ATM. The OP has probably introduced more faults now with the path he has followed. My thoughts would be along the lines of water in the DME being a E36 with all the parts the OP has already changed with no result and the reoccurring speed sensor faults. Fuel related issues would be throwing O2 sensor and fuel trim issues

+1 for taking it to Glenn. Glenns professional scanner will be far more accurate and informative than yours, and he has decades of knowledge.

A couple from 2 years ago with its old wheels on it and one from a few weeks ago.
