E36 auto gearboxes - are they the same? Ive come across a cheap 328 with a broken gearbox and can get a hold of a auto box from a 320 but will it bolt up the same? I assume so as manual ones do but you never know.

There is alot of dirt yes but also alot of sealant. I had the guy from Canterbury guard rolling come do mine and I'm glad I did as I would have missed it and completely stuffed it up.

What colour is that Brent?

Here in Christchurch we just stick road cones in the holes, sometimes more than one.

C'mon! I promise I won't send the worst ones.

Looks good. Are you running 205s on the front? Id get the rears rolled asap before you start to bend the inside lip up and make it super difficult to get the sealant out of there. Trust me, I know.

Yes correct

The whole customer service thing is a very interesting topic. A lot of the time you see companies trying to entice new customers to the brand, just look at telcos. A lot of their deals are targeted to getting new customers rather than retaining customers and it probably relates to BMW dealers as well. My opinion is that most companies rely on brand loyality to hold onto customers. Talk to customers and all they want is some sort of recognition that they are respected customer. I went into Jeff Gray here in Christchurch for PPI and got invited to all sorts of events, nothing like a track day but sales stuff, unveiling of this new car etc.

So no one is going to comment on this mornings game? I think blitzkrieg bests describes it. Germany does look good but have run out of goals? In South Africa they put 4 past England and then couldn't kick on. I hope they can.

What is your purpose for going to coilovers? To get super low or to have a decent set up that can be used track and street?

Oz Futura - 18x9.5 and 18x11.5 Game over.

Dayamm...looking awesome bro. I guess these are going on the m3 now that you are selling the wagon.

Winning!! JP, you need to get these before I get a third set of rims I don't need.

Love this car. Prob my favourite m3. Only thing that would make it better is if it was Phoenix yellow ;-)

Yes you will. The whole thing from the hazard switch back, is different

One of the first articles about them said that it was a 6 series. So here is me looking around for a new 6 series as that sort of thing would stand out. Quality work NZ media.

Is it just me or does that seem ridiculously cheap?

This is proper manual so no selespeed problems here. The ex had a 147 which is practically the same. Fun wee car but the interior is pretty cheap which bugged me as it scratched pretty easily. Otherwise no different from any other Alfa.

With those tyre sizes, I'd say Dan's on the money with 8's and 9's. Probably off a e39 540

Not a bad start to the World Cup, although that penalty decision was horrible. Must be hard though in a stadium with 60,000 Brazilians. They the same ones that choked in the EPL I think they will struggle for goals unless Rooney can step up. Having said that, they are a bunch of young players who should play without fear which will work in their favour. The ones to watch for I think will be the Beligans, as they have some great players.

I got all the tvs at work hooked up and ready on skygo for the morning. Wont be able to miss anything tomorrow.

The worlds biggest sporting event starts tomorrow so who is going to win it all and take the glory? Can Brazil live up to expectations and win on home soil? Will England make it out of the group stage? Or will protesters disrupt the whole thing? All I know is I can't wait and the games are on at pretty good times for us here in NZ

Needs more burnouts

Looks awesome!! What do you mean dont like verts? Only reason I got an e36 touring is cause it came up for sale before a decent vert.

Loving the torch taped to the wheel! Unlucky lads, good to see an e30 smashing the big guns. Looking forward to seeing the videos from Hampton Downs
