Thanks mate. Yea it still rubs, better now that its had a wheel alignment but also think the higher rated springs will help with that. Current wheels are 18x8.5 et13 215/35 up front, and 18x9.5 et21 225/40 on the rear. Ideally I want 225/35 on the rears as they are a bit chunky.

Im running the same, 6/8. I also think it would be better suited to 10k springs in the rear mainly because the wagon has more booty than a coupe/sedan. Other news, the wheels have been delayed a week so looking good for next week all going to plan.

Sweet ride. Saw this on trademe and looked like a good buy

Love it. That BBS kit is so 80s but it still looks amazing today.

Thank you. Something a little less agressive offset and width wise but still cool none the less. Will post pics when they turn up. Those were 3 piece replicas actually and no I sold them to some guy on Wellington. I was going to hold onto them if they didn't sell that week but they did. I would love some genuine ones too but they are pricey. I stumbled across some one night on an e46 and left a note asking to buy them but never got a repsonse

Yes and no Things have slowed right down since I spilt with the ex and no longer have a garage so I have parked it up for the winter. I have however picked up a motorsport lip, mtech trim and another set of wheels which should arrive next week. Will also tackle the roof lining and interior trim at some point over the winter too.

They are all over the country. This guy I believe picked it up http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=3840578 What kind of LSD did it have??

Looking good, should only need a guard roll. Are you on coilovers?

Used to see it around a bit, had fake RS's on it and then it showed up at Manhiem with frontal damage.

It is what it is really. As Ron said, currently there are roadworks pretty much everywhere and traffic in some places can pretty bad depending on where you are going. I've been considering selling my 330 for a X5 but still on the fence about it since I have moved. Ideally, live and work in the same area will cause a lot less heartache. Prices vary area to area and keep in mind that you may need to move out if EQC repairs haven't been completed yet. I used to live in Dallington, right on the edge of the red zone which was very peaceful and quiet but there was a lot of dust. Was paying $400 a week for a large 3 bedroom house, double garage and it had been marked for demolision as it was uneconomical to repair. Personally I think it has reached saturation point, if not very close, so rents are stablising. Have you got a job lined up yet? If you are ever down, I'd be more than happy to show you round.

Dam that looks good. Those red caps really set it off. Just needs a euro plate filler to clean the rear end IMO

So e46 msport kits are the same for Coupe and 4 door? For some reason I though they were different?

Won't fit a coupe. Ti stuff is the same as 4 door

I think people in NZ have the mentality that they must have either a mint original car or heavily modded car to turn up to these meets. Sure they are the head turners and people will leave talking about them, but its not just about the cars which I think gets lost.

Bellicose did a write up on this a while back but cant seem to find it at the moment.

Can have a look for you but probably wont be for a week or so.

This. Common on e34s and e36s.

Does it have to be a 316? If you are going to put in a m52/54 then to me, it doesn't really matter. I would just be looking for a mint 4 door.

Quick search shows that the M3 set up is 19x8.5 ET29 / 19x9.5 ET23 while e90 is 35-40. My guess is depending on tyre sizes, probably not a lot, a quick roll and should be sorted.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/723777668 Only thing missing is a manual box but looks pretty tidy. Not sure about the price though, maybe slightly high IMO

What is your budget? Pretty much anything will go in an e30 if you are willing to pay.

How come? and how much?

I think tv3 show some of it but about 3weeks late. Good to know that they stream it, cheers for the link

You happy with the recharge? I got some aftermarket ones off ebay for about that price.
