I figured you'd have a go Josh, done the calculations yet? Only 400 hp though, not enough for you I spose!

Will the motor fit in an E30? MMMMMMmmmmmmmm

I thought it wasn't too bad till I realsied it had been on it's roof!! I wonder if the 2 litre white plastic bucket is a stock Fewawi item?

Sure, no harm in touching base anyway. I really wonder if "awear" was genuine.Jock, 0272 511 843

Still no reply from the highest bidder/buyer nearly 24 hours later. Might be back up for sale yet chaps

Cheers mate, both you and Cale {Quail} have both been in touch since the auction closed. The buyer hasn't yet though! Might have to go to another little auction on here if it falls through. Will keep in touch.Cheers, Jock

A relative ordered his brand new X5 Diesel in Holland to NZ specs, got it delivered here brand new and saved him about $40k from memory. Cost approx $109k I think. I know he saved a sh*t load.

Hahahahaha, gotta luv it. Good to see some people have a sense of humour.

Too true... plenty want my E30 at 1/3 the price, but can't afford it.

4 door copy here for half the pricehttp://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=97567278 Cheers, Jock

$5,000, comes with a free car !! See ya tonight.

Thanks mate, appreciate the ups. Cut me up or something next time you see me to say gidday! Just a reminder to all that it closes tonight, sitting at $3600 as we speak..... and it is for sale at that price. Cheers, Jock

Fixed, alternator was "open circuit" (what ever that means, I figure it was f**ked). $185 + to repair. Happy just to get it done. North Harbour Auto and Marine Electrical, 7 Barrys Point Rd.

Great to see Josh wanting to share his information too. I took my brother and 8 and 4 year old sons round there on Saturday for a look. Great to share an enthusiasm of the BMW marque with someone. As I've said before.... the wife just doesn't understand!!!!

I bow down to thee of all good knowledge and many acronyms. Thanks Cain. Alternator into autosparky today.

Owned one when I signed up here. I'm usually "strapper" though. Something to do with Jock!

ThanksWill get it checked out. Haven't actually jumped it, had just enough voltage to start it. Well aware of that issue when jumping a car though. Used to have a set of leads with spike suppressor in them, till someone "borrowed" them. Must get another set.

Thanks Guys Voltage was measured at the battery terminals with a multimeter yesterday with the car running and revved up at only 11.6v. Charged half of yesterday and overnight and now measuring 12.6v. Will start up tonight and see if there is any difference. The car has had only occasional runs about every 2 weeks, although these were all in excess of 1/2 and hour so battery should have had a good charge in that time. I suspect there is an issue with the alternator unless there is a simple thing like a fuse or diode or thing-a-me-jig that someone knows of that might have gone west. What's an AGM Cain (other than an Annual General Meeting)? Cheers, Jock

Discovered over the weekend that the battery is not charging. Battery should be OK as only 6 months old. Anyone got any quick fix ideas before I make a comment on the auction or go to the trouble of going to the auto sparky which I haven't really got time to do. Cheers, Jock

Cheers Sam, I'll bring it to Galbraiths next thursday, you're buying the beers then ay!

Sorry, already sold to another BM member.

I recall a member here works for Archibalds. Please PM me if you do re a car for sale on your yard. Cheers, Jock

Closing tonight, just a reminder! Cheers, Jock

You're more likely to see me in a silver Territory with a huge PROJECTMAX down the side of it. The E30 tends to come out more in the weekends. Part of the reason for selling it, not enough use.Will be gone Wednesday though. Get in quick!

Jeez, those half shafts look tiny for 650HP!
