Hi guys, I'm looking for a M50 2.5 non vanos inlet cam in it's tray please. Anyone got a cracked head or even whole engine? Needs to be in good useable condition. Please leave a comment here or pm me. Cheers, David.

You never ever do what your brother suggests, ever, especially when it's Ashkan.....

Obviously you didn't dig deep enough.

All sorted Ash thanks. Shifter linkage is in the post....

Ahhh, pics

Hey Steve, love your Fav. quote on trademe, very appropriate...

+1 to the above. If you were genuine and appreciated the 540is and what it means you would have repaired the original. In my opinion this is dodgy, you are selling a vehicle which has had the vin changed, that is illegal in this country I believe. The car may be very nice, but should be sold as what it is, and not with misleading advertising. It is not a 540is now, it is now a 540ia converted to a 6 speed 540, still very nice maybe. ps, why has it been withdrawn?

So, just to clarify this, you've taken the vin from the 540is and transferred it to the new secondhand shell? I didn't realise you could do this, do you just go to VTNZ to get it done, and does it need to be certified?

How much for the rear brake calipers please?

No, the saloon and the ti are, but not the coupe

Hi Katy, about $200 at pickapart, so I'd be asking about that. You can price the parts yourself from their website here, http://www.pickapart.co.nz/pricelist.asp

Think I've got enough on my hands with 4 builds at the moment, don't you?

I bought a pair from oseas, they have straight arms, but when you go to fit them they hit the accel pedal. I went on to Ebay UK, and had a look at some. The pre 2002 ones have a kink in the arm to take them away from the accel pedal, and they fit fine, but if you look closely at the post 2002 ones they have straight arms. I also saw the part numbers, but there is a difference. see these 2 listings. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E46-Manual-P...=item461120594a http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-E46-318i-0...=item19dc1442e5 notice the second one specifically says 02 to 05, hard to see in the pic, but the arms are straight and don't have the bend like the first add.

What year, before or after 02? They are different. I have one for after 02, the straight pedals.

Happy Bday Lance

You mean $27 at pickapart eh?

moisture in the ecu can kill the injector signal, I know from experience, that great teacher. You can put a screwdriver or stethoscope on the top of the injector, it ticks as it opens.

probably crank sensor or ECU?

it's a problem with the forum at the moment, same for everyone. The guys are supposed to be working on it....

Have them fitted behind 15 inch rims, but after market ones from Harvey Gray. Haven't tried the weaves. Got the kit from the states, adaptor, recoed calipers, race pads, ready to bolt up.

Yes I am Jon
