If it has " lifetime" trans approx $400 incl to do the service. Oil, filter, pan gasket, scan, reset adaptions, road test and recheck.

No they are not E30 & E36 are very different in their front mounting positions on the body of the diff as well as having different rear plates.

Lol Yes...Today for all the blondes

Dont forget the camera Grant

1982 on were all M20 2.0 2.5 & 2.7 in the 528I(usa) only 2.8 & 3.5 versions were M30 engines M5 was twin cam S38 Go have another look at "wiki"

That one in the picture is an M20

Crickey ....I've never seen one Not listed in the BMW Identification list I have here supplied by BMW NZ Only what I said in previuos thread + the M5 S38 which was the first of the M5 series The "big block" M30 was 2.8, 3.3 & 3.5 as far as I knew all the rest were M20 and Ive seen a SA 518I M10 version

If its a 525 E28 it doesnt have an M30 engine. It will be a M20 engine. All E28's had M20's except the 528I & 535I Clarify what you have and I might be able to steer you in the right direction Cheers Glenn

The R8 is at Ray Haslars Repairable apparantely. Over $20,000 just for parts. Took out the "A" pillar Meant to be all hush hush

According to ETK, your car should be fitted with one, just infront of the cats on the first elbow, one only. Your front pipe, from the manifold should go two into one to an elbow that opens up to two pipes again before the two cats. It should fit in that elbow. Does all the exhaust look standard ?? Have you had it scanned ?? This will tell you if its missing or not. It will come up as a fault code. If its not meant to have one it wont and a preset value will be visible in live data. Some early ones didnt have them Cheers Glenn

I have recently purchased the plinth sign off Subway on our site. I'm running a competition with the local tech graphic arts class to design a new sign for me. Thought someone on here might like to give it a go too. Cash prise of $250 for the person who comes up with a design that we use. We do have alot of "Artists" in here at times (joke) No one else will be advertising on the plinth, just my company. So you have the whole plinth to play with. Only the top Subway area and the lower panel, which is all one panel can be used. The lower 3 advertisers, which include my sign are only seperated by strips of plastic ( some are starting to peel off ) and the bottom one is blank. So the area is actually one large advertising panel. The silver areas stays silver with 302 Te Irirangi Drive on it. Note: No manufacturers logos can be used on the sign Key Words: BMW ( must be larger ) Mercedes Audi VW 0800BMWLTD Independant Euro Repair Specialists Logo Colours: Blue Black White Red Check my website & Logo for colours : http://www.botanymotorworx.co.nz You must take into consideration the sign is backlit at night What we do is more important on the sign than who we are, because its right out side our business Cheers Glenn

That must be it. I only just got told about it and was led to beleive it was only a couple of weeks ago I missed reading that thread too. But the Audi R8 was definately this Tuesday. He lost it on the on ramp to the motorway, took out a pole and nearly ended up on the railway tracks at St Marks Road in Newmarket apparently. Wonder if the guy still has a job there ?..... I think the R8 is over $200,000

Give me the Chassis # I'll have a look on ETK

Has anyone seen the pictures of the brand new M3 that was wrtten off a couple of weeks ago?? I know its at Euro Collision under wraps And on Tuesday a salesman from Continental Cars wrote off a demo Audi R8 Pictures would be great

We do a transmission service on "lifetime" transmissions at 100,000km The right oil "MUST" be used and change the filter and pan gasket There is a proceedure for topping up and checking the oil after doing this

What size 12mm 0r 14.5mm ???

I'm not going to get into the wheel size/tyre size debate here All I will say is that, if the rolling circumference is to much different between front and rear on any BMW, the ABS and ASC will will be effected. The tollerance can only be 1-2 kph @ 30kph. This allows tollerance for tyre wear. Exceed that and you will have problems. Some ABS ECU's are more sensitive to this than others.

At least $1,000

Yes thats right 75W90 is the wrong oil Use G3 full synthetic ATF gearbox oil

lol...good work But you wont pull the bitches with an empty pocket ( tyres ... $$$)

Yes I think we should. This is not the platform. This area belongs to a Sponsor and should be used for genuine sensible questions. Take it to "off topic" or better ....elsewhere

Just getting sick of all your crap

Not normally Check with your warranty provider

No need to be sorry Emma You will get the right advise from people in here. And there are alot of people in here who will willingly give you the "right" advise. Its just that we have a few brain dead idiots that talk bullshit all the time. Keep watching and you'll pick up on who to confide with when you need help. BTW....car looks nice....luv the "red" chromies arent me tho...and the camber will give you alot of tyre wear Cheers Glenn

Totaly agree there Grant I would like to suggest that if we continually get bombarded with all this crap. Get rid of the crap !!! Either keep the crap out of here, find another forum or IP bann them. This i'snt the platform for their nonsense. And I know its not the forum owners intensions to condone all this bullshit. Maybe put it to a vote ?? "The old fart"
