Howdy folks I have a 2002 330ci with 135k on the clock, having never changed the plugs i reckon its time i did, what ones are best? have found bosch +4 for about $50 (for 6) are these any good?? Cheers Alan

Just noticed your in rolly too . you wanna fit a FSR hahaha

thanks guys kevin burt might be my first stop, i assume its ok to drive the car with everything disconnected? the OBC plug, existing FSR ..... Took it for a short run seemed ok but thought id check

Hi folks Well i finally tried to fit my new FSR but gave up before i killed the car or myself, cant get the last torx screw out of the housing. Any decent placed in Christchurch to go have it fitted, other than jeff gray was at it for 3 hours before i finally lost it, so now till its fitted i am driving with no heater atall Any help please Cheers Alan

a huge thank you for that link, save a little fortune there .......... just need to get it fitted now

Hi guys having a battery drain on my E36 330ci, I have a feeling its the FSR but not too sure as the fan still seems to work although it did seem to run on a bit longer than it should when i turned the car off?? Had a look about and the prices are shocking, JC BMW want $350 for this part not fitted!!!! any body got suggestions for a better place here in Christchurch, i could go down the breakers and try to pick one up but might have the same issues so im leaning towards a new one but bloody expensive Thanks in advance Alan

I am driving an E46 330ci and dont find it that bad on fuel, on a long drive a full tank will get me 700km driving at ave of 100kmh, round about town driving I am getting between 550km & 650km ..... and i am not light footed either

Damn BMW's if only i didn't like them as much ......... cheers for the feedback guys

"Cough cough" almost choked there 2 grand holy sh*t, maybe the $2500 was not far off the mark, some good negotiation me thinks is called for

Ok so I am going to ask a really stupid question here if you buy a Jap import car, 525i year 2005 to upgrade the sat nav is it just a case of installing the latest NZ disk or does this need a total rest by the factory, the garage said a ball park figure of $2500 to do it but that seemed a tad steep. I know that you would suggest just buy NZ new rather than import but import does have the distinct price advantage ..... Ta in advance

Hi All Any suggestions where I can pick up a cheap (working) cd player for an E46 (330ci) I am probably going to trade the car in so would like to have a std BMW stereo fitted, when i bought it the stereo was an after market JVC one Im thinking of changing it as having an aftermarket one may make it less desirable ?? Any ideas? Ta Muchly Alan

Classic .... cheers

I have been keeping an eye on TM but most are sitting at over 100,000km, ok call me fussy but i managed to get my coup with only 57k on the clock and have now done 127k so looking for something under 100k. But glad i found this place, rather than random checking for user reviews actually ask the people who drive them.

Thanks for that everybody, I was sort of swaying on it and leaning towards the 5 series, Ideally a 545 but these are a little harder to come by and more likely I will end up woth a 530, plenty of 525 around but given im driving an e46 330ci id rather not drop below a 3L engine. Ok so widen my net now and discount the luxo barge ....... thanks heaps

Hi guys looking for some honest feedback on the 745i 2004 model, considering upgrading to this but have heard of some horror reviews on them. I liked the 545i too but these are a little harder to come by, dont think id drop below a 3l engine now after having the 330ci for a few years and liking the power of it Any feedback would be appreciated Cheers Alan
