mr E34

More useless info, the E34 Alpina Bi Turbo even had gearbox/diff oil coolers mounted in the rear bumper. Thats quality work.

Only buy NZ New cars Yuen unless i know its iron clad history.

Low priced E46 330i on TradeYou? You guys would know how much work/faults it may have with that mileage. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-150417574.htm

For your interest. Hope you can enlarge & read, let me know, i could scan bigger.

Twin Turbo??

Yes, thats right. The economy is better when cruising at a good pace, engine runs so much better tho, fueling/timing optimised to an old(like it's owner) engine.

does the E 34 benefit from 98??but you are chipped and afm delete arent you?? No chip remember, MapEcu 2, laptop programming. Only benefits because of timing advanced 8-9 degrees at top end of rev range.Map has ability to run 2 diff maps, i could tune a map on 91 or 95 and have that also and just switch over at will. I am not getting the full benefit of 98 because my engine is completely stock, 10:1 compression would boost pwr considerably. The numbers denote the amount of advance over stock, 0=stock, 2= 2 deg advance, etc etc. 3-D version.

Start up a fund on Bimmersport for the project! "Save the Topcat fund" please donate all loose coin. Have you seen this dudes cars in the states? E34 turbo + E30 M3 shell Turbo, both M30 engines. http://www.europeancarweb.com/features/040...uner/index.html

Article spans E21-E46, Total BMW & BMW Car are both good mags. Any idea which manual box you can fit to an E46 330i?

User pays gone mad, another dopey pc idea like carbon credits etc etc etc.

The M30 suits fi, those figures for a quick tune are fantastic. Intercooler must work, pity the project didn't suit/or work out. Are you building a replacement Topcat??

April issue of Total BMW has E46 info, hope you can zoom in to read.

Getting pricey.The E34 chomped thru $130 at last fill on 98. A brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 tyre is only $250, fuel is way out of proportion compared to other costs.

He must think he can turn a quick buck.

FAB BMW dismantlers in the UK convert E46 M3 SMG boxes to manual.They convert and sell with engine packages etc, E36 prob diff. Just more useless info.

Very nice E30, if you come to Auckland look us up for a tour of the town.

Very nice! Alpina's live again.

HB! All the best! Fitted those Alpina's yet??

Automotive Art, stunning interiors also, Pininfarina Style. Bangle lacks all that is present in that car.

Attach a vbox and try and do those times, i doubt it. PWR figures are misleading, those are bench dyno figures with special BLUEPRINTED engines built for the test. NO ancilliaries connected, production engines within 5%, take off 15hp give or take, add on pwr steer, alternator, production exhaust system etc etc.

100% correct.It is not an M5, and never will be. Even a real M5(3.6) is too slow in todays world, a 540is is a better bet for all round performance. 3.8ltr is getting there.

Agree with you Yuen apart from "LOOKS".

Keep looking for a better one, be patient. What about this M3, posted on Bimmersport earlier. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=15033 $3500 approx in your ugly box not counting your bad box, sorry my opinion which may break your heart is walk away. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=142736227$

State your case clearly without aggro & ALWAYS get a receipt in future to prove fuel/ltrs used, i never leave a gas station now without my receipt.

If it's as good as the pix/mileage suggests it's worth paying extra for quality. Quality is remembered well after price is forgotton.
