Hey Guys, Been sick hence left this on the side. Short story today, on June 2019 made 23 hours in a row with my brother in law and a mate to go a pick up a 2001 330i Wagon manual, which will be the donor for the project... just some pictures for fun. Quick bit in Papakura's BP. Freaking cold in Turangi Nice sunrise somewhere between Palmy and Welli. Yay!! Car is mounted!!! Arrived home safe and sound and meeting the it's new chassis.

Long term the turbo cars will be the ones that are in demand. Look at Supra's the 2jzGTE is the one everyone wants not the N/A car. N54/N55 are suffering as much from the fact that the target market doesn't like to do preventative maintenance because it costs money but the N54 engines especially are very strong and reliable, its whats bolted on them that needs attention.

Sold pending payment.

*** WELCOME TO ARROW TOYS ** Car dealer. All interest lost.

Refurbished wheels are back and fitted up with new semi slicks all around. Fitment of the e39 M5 wheels on the e46 M3 is spot on. Next up I'll fit the Fancywide rear diffuser when it turns up. This may still be a while away as I think it shipped from Russia.

Boost is fully controlled electrically via MSPNP2 ecu. Check the main photo bottom left shows vacuum line from manifold to solenoid (on firewall) and wastegate. https://www.diyautotune.com/product/megasquirtpnp-g2-b8793-for-the-87-92-bmw-e30-325i/ All ancillaries this package is bolt in and run. Steering pump included, hoses not. This engine is a non-A/C late e34.

Link these up tomorrow then the exhaust shes doon!!

Couldnt open your heic file so didnt know you had iDrive. The old CCC system is pretty much useless anyway. Same for the older CIC still cant stream music without mods. Just live with the AUX or getting a bluetooth/aux dongle is the cheapest and easiest option.

Success! after biting the bullet and splashing out for a brand new clockspring from Coombes. (They had one in stock so snapped it up) I now have working paddles, Cruise control and stereo controls again, but with new OEM part reliability ? we also gently polished the heinous water spots off the windows. These have been a problem I’ve been trying to get rid of for some time. Today with the right product and gentle polishing with a drill, success. Stoked. New switch installed on existing switch boards and wiring above old switch de constructed new switches getting installed with covers getting new grease for a smooth action switches back in ready for trim and airbag. Along with new clock spring.

@qube yeah I'm pretty sure im going with steel grey, not sure what pearls go in it but it's pimp. Found lots of photos on BMWs steel grey but it's such an interesting colour that looks so different in lighting I really wanted to do a test spray first. Silver grey looked real sleek to me and wanted to try it, but the steel grey definitely has more character. I think it's BMW colour code 400. Bluer face redder flop? Lol Closest I've found end result in that lighting will be this for steel grey And for silver grey Polished up those fogs too, and JB welded the bumber guide.

So the colors I was contemplating over were Steel grey and silver grey. The paint shop doesn't do test spray swatches, so got 100ml of each. Wanted to use up the 100ml of clear coat I had lying round too. I was pretty sure steel grey was going to be the preference, but I thought I might slap some color on each side as a test spray to be sure. Man that steel grey colour is Incredible in real life, photos of it just don't do it justice. Driver's side steel grey Passenger silver grey And btw that base coat is a group 4, $170 for a litre (in Paraglaze) and even more in Deltron ... Wowsa. (Cheaper when you get 4l) but at that price and doing a full respray I wanted to atleast see both options. Will Chuck the lights in tomorrow and take some more photos.

Just bought myself a e28 m20b27. Planning to change to 885 head, manual swap, change to b25 ecu and put xyz adjustables on it. Bit of a noob with mechanical side but am learning.

you missed the obligatory blurb: "dont let the kms fool you, drives like its on rails"
