Its not a seal. The window is bonded to the car. The "seal" you are talking about is cosmetic only. New the seal is about $80 from BMW and it can be difficult to fit as from new it is fitted when the glass is fitted. When you take it out you must clean out the excess eurothane (carefully) and in stall the new moulding with lots of lubricant ( dish washing detergent will to the job) Takes a little force to get it in . Hope this helps Cheers Glenn

For an unmodified vehicle we use the OE Boge shock absorbers which we get from an alternative supplier for E36 6 cylinder vehicles. We use Monroe for the 4 cylinder vehicles. The retail price is about $265.00 per shock, but I can do you a deal. But I'll need the shaft size and the threaded length at the top where the strut mount bolts on. There are three variations. Or if the shocks on the car are still the genuine ones, give me the number off the shock body. If you supply that info I can get back to you with a price. Cheers Glenn

European Auto Spares in Manukau had some Give them a try ....Ph. (09) 2623752 Cheers Glenn

Hi there 10W40 semi synthetic or full synthetic is the correct grade of oil Cheers Glenn

This cannot be done at any reasonable cost. After 1998 all cars ECU's are specific and run a different Canbus system. It is cheaper to buy a 330 and keep the 320 as well. The build date for even an engine swap can be month specific. We have looked at this before. You could run a 330 motor in a E30 or E36 if it was manual and run a aftermarket ECU so long as it would run twin Vanos or convert with Shrick cams and run no Vanos. You would need very deep pockets to do anything like this with any BMW after 1998. Someones probably done it in the states...... but at what cost. If you want more HP....buy cubic inches... its cheaper. It would cost more money to convert an E46 320I into an E46 330I than just going out and buying a nice one. Hope this helps Any questions... just give me a call Cheers Glenn

Some scan tools give false error information 6 means nothing unless you have the fault code list from the software manufacturer. If you are in Auck I can check it for you. Both our scan tools give faults showing as specific faults ie: "passengers occupancy sensor" " firing circuit, belt pretensioner (drivers side)" These also show a manufacturers fault code number & BMW number. 06 in Bosch system says passengers occupancy sensor or firing curcuit. You need to check it more specificaly with a better scanner. Hope that helps Glenn

The diffs all have a ratio tag on them. Check the ratio. Its a small tag on one of the rear cover bolts. Compare ratios The first 3 numbers are the ratio...ie: 444 = 4.44:1 364 = 3.64:1 Hope that helps Glenn

I would check the pump impellor first- commom problem, the plastic impellor is probably broken or loose on the shaft. And change the thermostat now after all these overheat situations. Cheers Glenn

are you in Auckland ??

Hi Guys Up untill recently, I used to ride a Ducati. My new toy is my 318TI M52 B28 I am still a Ulysses Club member I received this today and found it very interesting, sad & beautiful...worth a look http://www.badd.co.nz/ Cheers Glenn

Yes

None of that will work on an E36 Its a broken wire on the sender unit in the tank I can rewire it for you Just give me a call Cheers Glenn

or $97.50 +gst for a standard key- doesnt have remote function.

Should be a standard H7....take one out and check

Possibly one of the vacuum hoses or the crankcase ventilator valve.....not such a big deal to fix

The fuel line leak is a common problem. Just take the top half of the plenum chamber off and replace hose with new clips. Some have 2 hoses. Only use high pressure reinforced 7.5mm fuel line thoough. . Even though the trans has green sticker...if it says Dextron II then you can use that. We use full synthetic G3 Cheers Glenn You can ring me if you like

Yes or circuit board failure
