Spot the difference.

Had our F31 for 2.5 years and 50,000km - it’s been great - 320d Msport. Only niggle is the electric steering racks have a bushing that goes causing a front rattle - easy enough fix but ours is getting done for the second time this week. Handles and rides well but the electric steering is uninspired. They look fantastic in the right spec and plenty of space for gear as well.

We love sunny days

Looking for 4 cyl e36 getrag 220 driveshaft, preferably Auckland. Thanks

Probably better off putting the cost one into your "oh sh*t" fund.

Hi Sammo Thanks for the very nice pictures. I love the camping one and the old & new style one too How tall are you (do I fit in the 320, 189 cm tall?) and apart from this steering trouble, how do you find the power of your car. The weight power ratio (I'm an original motorcycle driver, where it is less than 1 kg for 1 HP, that is fast acceleration). The W/P ratio for your car is 8kg/HP. With my present car (530i) it is 6.4 kg/HP And I'm wondering with the 328i (there it is around 5.8) do you know how did they got another 74 HP out of the same engine volume and is that engine or it's accessories vulnerable to break down easily. Cheers Willem

As some of you may know. I owned this car about 3 years ago and selling it was my absolute biggest regret in life so I contacted the guy I sold it to and asked to buy it back and thankfully he said yes, at twice what he paid for it! I couldn't say no though as I couldn't put a price on it. So I finally have it back in my care. It isn't running at the moment as the engine loom is off but that will be sorted in due time. Also there has been quite a bit of rust developing which I intend to sort out. On the cards are the following things : * Panel and paint * Rust repairs * Interior change or retrim * Suspension rebuild * Manual Conversion - planning to convert to the later motronic engine managment too, this 3 speed automatic isn't doing anyone any favors * Lowering * Recondition exterior trims * Dry ice blast undercarriage * Some Period correct wheels * Ceramic coating of exterior I am beyond excited for this undertaking.

I went for the Toolshed own branded 1/2" and will be getting the 1/4" this week. Not flashy but the selling points for me were: Nice Nm only scale Legible 0-9 units around the twist barrel Comes calibrated, with certificate https://www.thetoolshed.co.nz/product/15319-toolshed-torque-wrench-1-2in-dr-30-210-nm <--- Pretty sure i didn't pay $219, would have gotten on a special 👍

So I got the aluminium hats on Friday as promised about ten minutes before having to leave for a weekend away. The brackets are still hung up with UPS locally for some obscure reason, which I need to sort on Monday. The hats look really good and fit up nicely Also had time to get one of the rear corners assembled ... the brackets did not centre the caliper spot on so I have spaced it over using some washers for now. Just need to adjust the parking brake and wire up the pad wear sensor and that corner is complete (bar bleeding). Fitted up with the too short bolts temporarily while I wait for the drills to finish up the proper fasteners.
