This will be interesting to see where the market sits. Especially compared to the rough $45k one https://www.trademe.co.nz/5140389388

Try find a m50 catless midsection https://youtu.be/N1Tmf5JpAag?si=yAvYwN4dfYoe7FkA

Remote keys for e36 are NLA. I got a non remote key for a compact last year. Cant remember how much but wasn't crazy

Car is like 5months old and under 500km and bmw insurance used to replace the vehicle pretty quickly if it was under a year old from memory. I'd imagine the wait on parts is probably significant so also the cost of the driver having a loan car would stack up quickly. Insurance companies also get monitored on how long claims are open for which also impacts their decisions

Elite wheels for the rim repair

@BMTHUG your old one?

Looks hot mate, even if it is mtech1 🤣

Regulator is Skoda talk for thermostat. Best to replace them together as they always leak all the time.

1952 Ferrari 212, only 5000miles on it

Yes control units do go faulty. Replace all 6 glow plugs and the control unit

Ice Cube always had some good taste https://youtu.be/vvvQwYXPV-s?si=EKAjFhI2i4QwMpcD

Getrag 420g from an e36 m3 evo, currently still fitted up to my 328 wagon so any prospective buyers can do any checks they'd like. Gearbox only. $3750

You're thinking of brake pad wear sensors

Don't know if you've seen this but might have something on it that's still good https://www.facebook.com/share/dvmGqt7wek9cWGJE/?mibextid=kL3p88 You could also try Ernie at Hinds Classics near Ashburton but shipping maybe cost prohibitive

Bmw dealer, about $35 odd

Not a wagon but this just popped up on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/xLFtbdhe5jiRgni7/?mibextid=kL3p88

I wouldn't stress about that. Nzta actually want vehicle fails, eg if a car comes in and needs wipers for a wof, even if you replace them on the spot, you should enter a fail/recheck instead of a straight pass

Ideally for a sedan and in silver Will also mtech2 one if the price is right

I was quoted $1000 to bring a gearbox in from the West Coast of the US to Christchurch by these fellas, https://gtlogistics.co.nz/ who came recommend by someone else who I'll probably use once I'm ready. You'll also have to factor in customs, duty, gst etc.

Main issue they have is oil consumption
