  1. Hey mate just incase you see this i've been trying to get ahold of you for the last few days, sent you some emails (private and synthe) and a text, will try give you a ring when I top my phone up.

    And no he hasn't ripped me off before anyone get excitied :rolleyes: lol

    i'm just on a time frame and have about 5 working days left before my re test time is up and Mike is helping me out with some parts, as usual

  2. spotted HELLBM's and M3_Guy(??)'s old maroon 540ise, we were "enjoying" each others company up the motorway from Hornby to Rolleston, such a nice E34 in person!

    told the new owner to join Bimmersport while we were having a chat, now belongs to a guy(think his name was Ben) in the air force, based in aucks, he was just down in CHCH on a visit


  3. I just put my E30 325i thru "recompliance", I got the easier $250 test because mine had been registered before a certain year...many places tried to tell me this test didnt exsist or claim they didnt know what i was on about but it does exist because i have the bill! haha.

    the 325i actually went thru ok, too loud exhaust, drive shaft front flexi joint, headlights needing alignment, steering rack pinion play, repair certification, and I thought it was gonna fail hard and what not, so it may pay to try get someone to have a quick look before you give up or try cheap it out lol...i'd try keep the 318is original like everyone else is saying


  4. So after getting bored with my old 528i I wanted to put a Mkit on and new wheels etc...then decided it was a waste of money and one money pit is enough (E30) I saw this m kitted 540i at the ArchibaldBarr yard and went to look afew times but it was at groomers and getting touch ups done... gutted

    So finally one day I went in while waiting to hear from VTNZ about the E30 passing or failing, and it was there! long story short they let me take it home over night to test drive and that was it, needed a V8... and here we are, afew quick shots

    E39 owners may get why i'm happy about the last 2 points haha!

    Have already had traction control off and quickly put it back on :rolleyes: ..U-Turn on a back road = tyre smoke and limiter and a suprised/impressed me... haha Cant wait to take it to Timaru...be some new blood at this meet, my 540i, Atta's 340i and Jase with his E46!

    Dontaions to save the Andrew fund would be appreciated...petrol disappears fast in this haha!


  5. have got driveshaft flexi ordered thru Gavin @ Euro Italian, emailed him and put money thru, just waiting to hear back

    Rang Jon at JK southern euro and have a steering rack arranged, just waiting for them to email me back with payment details :)

    So half way once these bits are installed,

    then have to sort the headlights and get them alligned (getting sick of E30 headlights...the hassle iv'e had with them is crazy haha looks at NZ post <_< )

    have looked into this repair cert (still a load of shiz, don't care what anyone says haha, I have receipts to prove a registered iCar welder did it at a registered panel beaters, but thats the gay law of the land. sh*t happens, lifes like a box of chocolates etc etc! :rolleyes: ) will go get that sorted this week or next.

    Found so called corrosion behind my left rear wheel..it's a bit of surface about 1cm2...pissed off about that, repair cert will sort that I think once confirmed it wont mess with structual integrity

    Covered middle seat belt in lubricant as it can't be adjusted atm...easy to fix id imagine haha

    Exhaust guy tested exhaust and it's under the decibel Level and the VTNZ garage admitted they dont have a dB meter...but they just quote the louder than factory stuff so the exhaust guy has a wee trick for test day so all good..will still get it quietened down the track

    Once sorted it will most likely be parked up/covered up... sick of looking at the money pit, got the 540i to keep me entertained for awhile :D ...and I already want paint and panel, mtech I, better suspension and low offset 16"x9's..and i have a m50 sitting in the garage and a desire to turbo it after being in [E30WPN] ...better off parking it behind the house and forgetting about it for awhile haha!


  6. Hey guys, one of the things i failed compliance on the E30 is steering rack pinion play.

    So I need a GOOD condition tight Powersteering steering rack, eurowreck here in CHCH want $200. so would rather help someone out on here as im sure that price is stupidly dear

    Shipping to CHCH included in price please

    Will probably PM you Mike 323e30

    Thanks alot

    Andrew
