Small update,

Got my new Front and rear Discs today, Cheers to Gavin @ EuroItalian!..always good to deal with..got my lolly/choco bar, made my day haha! Will get these in sometime this week, or next week when I buy new pads

Also gave the E30 a quick clean

got pics of the new Headunit

And my Dog...can't leave a door open 2secs or he's in and doesn't come out for a long time lol

man I wish I was in Auckland sometimes haha sounds like a mean day

kms? doesn't have m-spec front kit or side door trims by the looks. and it's got those chrome lights things...bargining chip in my eyes lol

atleast it didn't smash the windscreen aye. I take it these old dattos hard to get good body parts for since your going to panel beat the bonnet?

that sucks! so sorry to hear man!!! if the car has owned two bonnets maybe bonnet pins in the future for extra security?

extra weight possibly if youve added it to factory bootlid? never held a tech II spoiler so dunno if the weight would be a problem.

Gotta wonder why these dicks report you aye!!, it's happened to me afew times now, I still use trademe though purely because everyone uses it

three words haha "course related costs"

+1, Don't know much about wheels but I know Work are expensive new so I believed it (Dunno if i'd spend that much on wheels!), was wondering if they'd be custom offset etc, makes it more likely to be that price after buying the wheels initially, then shipping, tax etc i'd suppose

I was the same as Jason almost haha, Saw Dave Grohl, was like sh!t yes,

then saw Josh Homme, and i was like oooh yea sounding good!

then mental process was "FF=Good QOTSA=Good... better have a listen to these vultures!" haha

Welcome!

"686 horse power evo3 " and it only did mid 11's?!?, was that ATW or at the flywheel? what was done to it??

If I didn't have my E39 528i i'd have a evo1-3, wanted one since I was in primary school haha will be next on the list for me

I have ripped carpet around my accelerator.. I don't wanna look now lol I'm taking Marks approach for awhile lol

Yeah call plates.

I still don't technically own BMDUBS tbh, the asian dude I bought it off didn't sign the papers.. Need to look into that

Possession is 9/10ths of the law is what plates.co.nz basicly told me when I enquired about loaning one of my old plates to a mate, they said basicly once he has it I could have a hard time getting it back if things went sour... so just make sure no one steals it and you'll be right! haha

Interesting to know plates will contact a plate owner. Ive been keeping an eye on a plate that hasn't been on a car in years, might ring them when I have some money and get them to contact the owner.

Edit: just carjam'd the plate and it's on a merc now Shizzle lol

noisey exhaust? lol moisture in a lense maybe? or possibly a hairline crack in the lense:P depends where you go i suppose.

So if my E39 doesnt sell soon (looking likely lol) i'm gonna get a M5 or AC Schnitzer rep kit and some new wheels rather than selling it for bugger all, I'm having probs finding 18x9's (or 17x9's if they looked real good) that I like, dont wanna goto 18x8.. I currently have 17x9 and they car looks awesome with wide rims from the back so don't wanna get anything narrower. I've been eyeing up some of Jono/Zenetti's rims but think they're the wrong offset aswell as the width "issue"

So has anyone seen wheels similar to these but the right offset and wider?

(Jono: Can you get them in in the right size and offset without it costing an arm and a leg if i decided to buy some?)

And...

http://www.magandtyredirect.com/wheeldetail.php?rc=2502 (would get re-finished in silver though as I cant see black time attack working on a blue E39)

Other wheel suggestions would be appreciated aswell, as im just seeing whats out there at the moment, just something clean looking that will suit a wee drop, tints and eventually kit

hahaha oh no, mind tricks!

Eurorec are OTT with prices! goto All cars and try them first.

I recently brought the following from Eurorec: Clutch pedal rubber (2nd hand), Two rear disc retainer screws(second hand and half rusty) and a clutch resivour cap (brand new) cost like $30 or something criminal. They must have had HEAPS of pedal rubbers and screws, I was expecting $15-$20 tops...maybe I live in a dream world ,

Glad i've brought most of my stuff off brent or mike and had it posted down here.

Good on ya!

maaaaan this touring is just awesome, so jelous bro!, I'll swap you http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=243774089 haha

I brought the E30 last year when I was still at high school de reg'd, and have spent all my money on it so just want it road legal so I can drive it haha And i'm looking at going back to Polytec so I don't wanna have 2 money pits

However if this doesn't sell soon it might be time for some tints, a small drop, and refurb'd rims/new rims, as its a mint car...just cant chuck it around corners or anything fun haha

Supercheap auto can order then online from their australia shops, Don't know if they have E30's but they would be able to tell you quick enough. Don't think they are cheap though

Edit: RE the Dash matts

was looking at that before, man its rough as guts aye! cheap buy if you have parts lying around I supose and did a insurance special on the windscreen lol

Cars still for sale, have new pics on trademe

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...089&ed=true

It Had airbag light on afew weeks ago, so got that fixed, turned out to be passnger seat sensor so it now has a brand new one.

Genuine good car, has one little fault i can think of at the moment which is seat adjuster button is lose, still works fine (will fix this no doubt) but none that effect the operation or driving of the car.

For those without Trademe access at work:

1999 528i

OrientBlau

174kms

2.8 5speed tiptronic-smooth

17" BMW style 32 wheels

WOF

REGO

Price is $9500 ..not really negotiable. Will talk with bimmersport members though.

Don't Need it gone, just want the cash for the E30...but the E30 can wait, it's quite happy in the garage currently haha

Cheers,
