BNT - all around the place. Look in your phone book:-

mmmmmmmm Stunning car - enjoy Me envious

mmm... hard to know. A few years ago I put some Ching Fung Dung or whatevers on the front of the E39. Partly/ mainly because of cost (about $50 each compared to about $175+ ea OEM), but also with the theory that they couldn't be worse than the 65k that the originals lasted on the car. I did fit OEM pads though - much cheaper than you quote Famous last words though... they developed a severe shudder after about 25k so had to have them skimmed about 12 months ago. They have been ok since, car now at just over 100k Sooo in effect - milage will probably be as good as OEM

Price with the obvious - Repco, BNT etc, Euro Italian on here. BMW rotors are inherently soft anyway so wear factor of aftermarket will probably be similar to OEM

Cheap as chips @ BMW - about $4 ea. Just get a new set -I did for my race car (or the 4 above & the rest from BMW)

HB Brian. No doubt will catch up in Jan

Steering wheel is the only place for cruise controls that I know of Find out where the car has come from - imported. It may be a low spec Singapore car

Welcome Chris & look forward to pics. Plenty on here to give 02 advice

Doesn't look like - no controls on steering wheel...

Been away at Manfeild last few days so no Bimmersport Hope you had a good one Glenn. Glad to hear you have the smoking desire out of the system now

HB Fella, was great to catch up today

Stunning car Ray. Absolutely love the colour

Yes but the E36 does not have a diversity aerial system which is the main problem with aftermarket radio's in E46 etc cars having reception issues.

Great colour car - love it As Greg said - update the Nav etc PM me for nav/ reverse camera. done heaps of in these cars. Great to see these cars operating to potential

HB Andrew, catch you at the weekend

^^^^^^ and $25 will probably be a benchmark. You are probably splitting hairs. We used to charge the same where I used to be a few yrs ago

Good option but not sure it looks the go with rest of the car as opposed to OEM - from a purists point of view. Not sure if you can get a JVC to BMW harness adapter but if not - wiring can be cut/shut anyway. You will comprimise radio reception though - the JVC unit is not set up for diversity aerial connections as the OEM unit is

Welcome Scott, seen the light huh:- Nice car What about getting the curbing repaired - feasible?

Yes technically correct, calcium batteries do require a different charge sequence (out of car) to standard lead acid & are suited to the slightly higher charging voltages of modern alternator systems where they are pushing up towards 15v rather than older units running @ 13.8 - 14.3 ish (depending on alternator)

^^^^ my thoughts exactly!

HB fella, catch up again soon

Daniel -Did you get my PM?

^^^^ Yep but technically the later "world tuner" along with aerial adapter, requires replacement aerial antenna too as they differ from the early ones in market specific units.

^^^^^ Just as well it's a classified listing & not an auction - imagine the emails he's getting

^^^ Yep or what Glenn said. I have used eyecrometer many times without issue
