Put your name down at a wheel place such as toptown, and if you'll get what happened to me, a customer came in trading they're BMW 18" for 19"... got a pretty good price for em too!

Whoa well I've got plenty of ideas now! Hah yeh I should be able to not worry about my car, but we've had alot of burgerlies around this area in the last few months so want that peace of mind.

Worry about terrorists instead...

Yeh I should be thinking of ways to not get blown up in mid air instead... I should be safe flying emirates, muslim airline and all... I'm going to dubai and a bit of europe, looking forward to it

CHEERS EVERYONE

Thanks for all your replies.

At this stage I'll remove the steering wheel and remove the spark plugs.... and to stop it being towed or rolled anywhere, what about threading a long chain through each of the mags??

Of course, the moat idea could be a much safer option...

Cheers guys

I'm heading overseas shortly for 4 weeks and I'm just wanting some ideas to help make my car more secure for when I'm gone.

The only idea thats sprung to mind so far is to leave it with a near empty fuel tank, any other ideas? I have a 4 star alarm but I know that would only detour a "pro" for a few mins.

Cheers

Hi there. Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I have a 1993 e36 320i and have a few questions...

1) When I turn my battery on and leave it on, their is a constant ticking sound coming from under the bonnet? Is this norm?

2) How can I replace my right indicator bulb thats in the dashboard? Very minor but may aswell replace it if its easy.

3) I'm currently selling some 16" mags on trademe that came off a 3 series bmw, offset = 38. I have been asked if these will fit an e28, I've tried searching but to no avail. Does anybody know?

Cheers

He should do a sweet 200HP+ package, tornado fan, 35HP performance chip, exhaust clip BOV, and turbo stickers!

$500 for 18's, was the reserve met? I just need to these to go before I go to europe on the 26th, it'll give me some extra spending money and save me from hiding them so they don't get knicked when I'm gone...

Couldn't see RY anywhere... closest I could find was RN001... BUMP!

www.germanplates.com would be the cheapest way if you have a visa card or theres always trademe (auction number 65835171, he just gets them from the same germanplates.com people)

Yeh I'll be getting better shocks further on down the line. Its off Collins Rd out by the temple... you should check it out its an awesome stretch

Hey, nice e36 you got there. Were those mags off trademe by anychance? I was thinking bout getting them...

You're pretty much in the same stage that I am with my e36. Heres a pic of mine: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index.php?showtopic=7274

First thing I did was get my sounds (from Madsoundz too, good people to deal with) then got BMW 18" from toptown with 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tyres, they're pretty wide on the back! I haven't had any trouble with the width.

I'm looking for suspension aswell, I think I'll go with the B&G springs from Autolign.

So you're from Hamilton too? Have you discovered O'Reagon Rd yet?

I've just got insurance sorted on my 1993 320i... I only wanted third party, fire and theft. I'm 19 and have my full drivers licence.

Mods are: 18" alloys, sound system being less than $1,500, 4 star alarm. I was told State would do the best deal but they declined. So phoned around and found that my bank Westpac was the best deal. $19 a fortnight with $300 excess....

So give your bank a go...

Wonder if they'll still be my friend once I get springs + tints + k&n filter installed?

Confirm these are BBS RY?

What does RY mean? I know they have "BBS" engraved on the outside, I'll check if RY is anywhere after work

I'm hoping for these to go before I go overseas at the end of the month.

I thought $500 was a reasonible price but they're still here after 2 weeks of being advertised... Will take offers.

Cheers

Looks nice man. I reakon some euro plates would do her a treat

(320i) = 2L 6 cylinder x fuel economy / cost of gas = bankrupt. At least in E30's they are anyway. Others may like to elaborate on whether this mirrors to the E36.

I have an e36 320i.... and yeh you can see the fuel needle going down

Hey all, have decided to post a pic of my bmw. It's my first bmw and have owned it for 2 months. It came standard, so far I've installed a sound system and got some BMW 18" alloys.

Next will be to get some lowered springs. I don't want it sacked, just 30mm or so would be nice. I have a friend who can get me dobi or B&G (springs from Germany, think thats what they're called) springs for pretty cheap so they shouldn't be too far away.

Cheers

Ok well the problem was nothing, my left brake light was out when I went to the alarm place. I don't understand how I missed that, I checked them last night and all seemed ok Meh. I must say tho, I'm pretty impressed that the computer can pick things up like that, bit of a change from my old corona.

And yeh I know the eyeball you're talking about. Yeh my top 3 tool songs wud included stinkfist, schism, and aenima obviously.... :mosh:

Haha nah I haven't seen the special edition cover before

Cheers I'll go back to the alarm place tomorrow and tell them bout that.

And I'll give the central locking prob a go too, I'm hoping the door panels aren't too much of a mission to take off... I'll let you know how I go.

Thanks guys

Hi all, I'm new to the forums and was just wondering if anyone could help me out.

I have just bought my first BMW (1993 320i) and today I got an alarm professionally installed. I drove it away and on my way home I turned on my lights and a "Check" icon came up on the dash and a "Tail Light Failure" message appeared on the vehicle management scanner? (Don't exactly know how to use this yet). I stopped and checked the back lights and everything was working normally, checked brake lights and indicators and everything seemed ok. Does anyone know why this message has shown?

Also, I need a new central locking motor for the driver door. If I look for one from a BMW scrap yard would one from any 3 series model work? Who would I have to see to get this installed? Electrician?

Thanks in advance
