Not sure how accurate that ^ is? Doesn't match up to the attached which come from a pretty reputable source. Lots of cam data here: http://www.catcams.com/engines/engine-selection.aspx?SelectedManufacturer=4 S50B30.pdf S50B32.pdf

lol yes. I replaced the entire cooling system on my daily the other week and checked and cleaned the level sensor. Worked great for 4 days then decided to stop working... :-/ If I replace it now I'll lose litres of fresh coolant and have to fill up bleed the system again... not going to happen in the short term. So I'm living with the warning. This is from BMW's TIS but you'll be working pretty blind:

So my recent acquisition came with a fairly grubby alcantara steering wheel. I was originally thinking about just selling it, but knowing that I have successfully cleaned quite a few of these I decided to give this one a go again. Not the worst one I have come across. condition before clean - this corner was the clean side lol! decided to do the top half first to show the difference post cleaning first stage contrast top (cleaned) and bottom (original state)

Following on from my other thread, here are pics still a way to go. Wish list smiley headlights,boot lid trim,map light mirror,bmw sound premium speakers,cloth front sport seats.....basically all the soon to be virtually impossible to get period good bits.

Here is a new video I put together on my bosses E46 M3. He kindly let me drive and review after seeing the review i did on my 330I he thought it would be a good idea to do his car. Good speakers or headphones recommended! If anyone would like a video review of their car in the general Wellington or Manawatu area contact me, i would like more exciting cars to review! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSEYhE_-9m4

Must have seen the price of M3 E30s and considered his car to be priced based on their skyrocketing values. OR He's just keeping the wife happy showing it's for sale

So I checked this a week or so ago actually and noticed that whilst both bushes were okay they were different from one and other, not a set. New bushes due this week and then warrant and rego time.

They seem to have bottomed out price wise, I paid 2700 for mine 3+ years ago, similar condition.

That 318i is too expensive IMHO. What's your budget? My E36 328i (auto) is on the road and soon to be warrantable for well under $3k. Your old blue (Avus?) coupe looks sweet. Edit: welcome to the board and NZ. Congrats on the rugby!

Very nice! Bet that's satisfying haha. Care to share your technique?

not really, just need to make some new fittings that go into the block to my oil lines, the ones i initially had were alloy and they obviously didnt seat very well into the oil housing so will make some steel ones from the factory lines.

What a beast! Shot bro

Awesome man. Sounds great! What radiator are you going to use?

you'll need new LCA bushes to work with the e46 arms, garagistic and the like sell the weld on tabs. there is a cheap set of m3 shocks on trademe

Well today we had a big accomplishment. Have a couple of small issues to sort but the big news is IT RUNS…the beast is alive!!!! I'm so pumped right now. Will try to get a video soon.

Got abut done today, cleaned up all the nuts and bolts and more engine parts, disassembled the cylinder head so can take it in to get machined
