As above.

Or should that read check numbnut light

Thanks for ruining my evening with that mental image.
-
Laughed my ass off. Read the description and thought it must have demo kms and be 50 grand. Then read the top of the page. L O bloody L.
-
Yes scary.........for those approaching me.

As promised here's the mini.my version of a 1963 mk 1 rally works car. Take no notice of passenger seat it is there until restall seat arrives from England.

All had pretty cheap. Paid around $150 for all the bits needed

I have done this conversion myself. No the glass is different cause the mounting points to the regulators ( inside the door)are different. So had to replace all side windows plus centre console (one without electric window switches) also the regulators are a pita to remove and replace. Can be done though as I have done. Oh and replaced door cards as well as mine did not have the holes for the window winders. So also had to buy window winder handles.

Lol.....yeah, know what you mean, it actually had a modern head unit in it....but I decided to keep it 80s, in keeping with the car. Might yet update to a late 80s alpine cd unit yet, if I can find one. But cassettes are retro cool.

What was cringe worthy, was that the photos show that the idiots just happily chucked the under tray and goodness knows what else into the brand new interior. No respect.

Fleabay, Germany NOS Part no. 34412230012
-
Well , almost done.....for this I took our humble 320I which we have had for about 12 years and was as basic bog standard as you could get, and transformed it. Using only genuine BMW period parts and no Chinese knock off's. Started by colour coding bumpers, adding in the fogs and wiring to original switch putting on Is front spoiler. Moved to replacing bonnet struts, adding tech 1 rear spoiler plus paint to match, sourced 15" weaves then the centre caps. Changed lecky windows to manual (sick of switches always crapping out) which meant replacing door cards,regulators,glass and centre console. Added tech 1 steering wheel, 385mm. Really would like 370mm. Leather handbrake gaitor. Pulled all the chrome window surround off and painted satin black, colour coded mirrors. Added 1988 alpine cassette deck and BMW sound premium tweeters up front and speakers in rear, got 13 button obc plus loom to go in, added maplight mirror. M3d the dash. Added NOS seat badges. Added e30 series spec suspension including correct Springs and koni adjustable. Really happy with what I have, still want real recaro ls seats, is side skirts and smiley ellipsoid lights.......and the elephant in the room......manual conversion. Or if budget allows e36 2.8 conversion. Anything else anyone can think of, remember only using late 80s beemer stuff. I would also like to thank all the members here who helped sourcing and supplying stuff needed, many thanks guys.

Yep interested. Pm me with a price if you want to give them up.
-
Retro fitted premium speakers, and acquired NOS seat badges from Germany.
-
Ta daaa..... Nothing to it really, just needed to notch out some parcel board for the magnet and that's it, don't know why everything online said it was so hard. Did not have to touch the structural member as it already has a dip in it for the speakers.

Spotted dark blue, brand new m2 in new world carpark in dunedin. They look way cooler than the MAG pics. Really hunched down and mean. If I spot it again I'll take pics.
-
Cheers for that. Already have maplight mirror. Will take a good obc unit off your hands though. If the buttons are in good condition. Pm me to arrange payment and address.
-
If they are the same as these, they are e36 bbs 509's, according to my research at least. Could be mistaken, but definitely not e30 M3.
-
Cheers will have a head scratch when they arrive
-
I know they are different but Are you saying it is impossible to fit them to a standard parcel shelf? Or can it be done with a bit of fiddling. The rear ones are on their way from the states in mint condition. If I have to change the shelf then so be it, but thought I might get away with it with a bit of handiwork. by the way...anyone reading this, got a maplight mirror as well so cross that off the list as well, and decided to import some genuine " I S " side skirts from the states brand new with all the fixings. A bit more subtle and suits the look I'm going for, so scratch the tech 1s as well. so the list is down to smileys boot lid lining Cloth front sport seats. ( would be OK with all black leather if the rears come with them as well, sedan rears that is.) oh, and add a 13 button obc as well, might as well go the whole hog. Loom or without does not matter as can source that elsewhere.
-
I obviously stand corrected. Was right on one count about fitment. Sorry for trying to be of help.
-
E30 m3's came with 16" bbs basketweaves and will not fit on your everyday e30. I think you are meaning the 15" bbs basketweaves that came on the NZ M325i ..... They are still out there, but hard to come by....the hardest part is getting the centre caps for them, as the 14" versions don't fit. Do yours still have the caps? I got mine through this site a couple of years back. From someone who had them on their e30 series racer......not mentioning exact prices but we're still very affordable back then. Around 500 if I recall for 4. Not sure what they go for now. good luck.

Got your work cut out. Should be worth it in the end though. My problem is I haven't even got a base yet. Comfort seats are still in car.
