If we had insurance then car would be fixed and he would probably have a Baycorp notice. That's ok, his house is on my way home so I don't mind stopping off every other day to see how things are going

Yep that is what we are going to do. Even offered to pay half of the excess to avoid any hassle but not interested in that either

Can't stress this enough as dealing with something similar. Recently purchased a new car for the Mrs and hadn't sorted any type of insurance in the week after buying the car, she was hit by a young dude with 3rd party. Great, his insurance will cover ours, well not unless he pays his excess which he is refusing to do so do to 'lack of money which I doubt...

Yep stopped that after the whole VW thing. If you have had it coded out, and if the vehicle gets a software update, the stop/start function will be reinstated

Anyone wrecking an F10? Need some drivers door seal parts

These are awesome.. Got to drive one with the top down and love that v8 noise and tyre screeching

Should just get this save yourself the hassle https://www.trademe.co.nz/1726943402

One question asked a couple hours ago doesn't make him rude, probably trying to find the info to answer the question

They are 40-50 brand new but will have to get it painted to match

TWS is still available but only in 5litre packs, they've stopped doing the 1litre

Id say it's about 2k over priced to be honest as there's nothing really desirable about it apart from perhaps the service history

Have you owned it since new? The gearbox and engine adaptions may have been reset with the update so might be a case of drive it and see

They are more or less a X1 which I think is a great town car for alot of the same reasons the Mini is but to me the X1 is just a bit more comfortable and smoother. Minis are fun wee cars when you put them in sport mode and go for a blast

E36 motorsport kit front is pretty average could do with a repaint. Rear has some scratches and diffuser has been hacked for towbar but can't see how bad it is behind the towbar. Sides are very good $400 E36 front Alpina lip fits standard bumper. Bumper needs slight modification to fit. Not sure what these are worth so $400ono?

Can be done with the engine as we (Christchurch BMW) have done it but it is easier with it out.

There's a tool which allows you to do it without removing the engine but it's a very tight fit. The correct BMW way is to remove the heads and do the guides as well but it's become pretty standard to do just the seals with it all in place

That's prob at the cheaper end of the scale already I'd say. If they are doing the seals with the heads in place it's a very labour heavy job which is where all your cost is going. I would go for someone who has experience in doing the job rather than the cheapest. Also be prepared for a number for extra hoses that will also require replacement due them being old and brittle

Eccentric shaft wear is common so could be that?

Bargain! Wish I had some spare cash for these

There was a guy who ran double staggered Hartges on his e30. Can't for the life find it now but looked good

Rears will sit 9mm further in so yes 10mm in the rear will make it more or less the same. If you add a spacer it brings the offset down

www.willtheyfit.com will help you work it out For the fronts the outter edge will be roughly the same but in the inner edge will be about 10mm closer to the strut. So yeah a 10mm spacer should sort you out

Hard to say as the e30 market is all over the place. Rear spoiler is a standard one and not mtech, unsure about the wheels as the waffles are weird. Personally I'd pay 8k tops if everything checks out ok and is mint

A bit more these days http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?101915-FS-Rondell-0021-BMW-Z3-M-rare-staggered-wheels-concave-M3-Roadster-deep-dish-R-O-D

A decent PPI will give you all the info you need and when it's due. Including any brakes and if any bushes etc are showing signs of wear. Or if you have a chance to view the car, it will give you an idea of when the brakes are via the service info in the idrive. Brakes wear can vary alot depending on how the drive treats the car.
