    Looks smooth without the big wing, real smooth.
  2. Don't be an idiot like me and order a LHD one... :-/
  3. Bathurst Lap Records Shane van Gisbergen, McLaren 650S GT3, 2:01.5670 (7 February 2016) David Reynolds, Holden VF Commodore Supercar, 2:06.2769 (9 October 2016) 5 seconds is quite the margin. That GT3 lap also happens to be the outright record at Bathurst.
  4. Wow, that doesn't happen very often! ECS are good but typically more expensive. I used to price compare across Schmiedmann, Pelican, FCP and ECS and quite quickly dropped ECS from the equation. I eventually also dropped Pelican and FCP because Schmiedmann were reliably the least expensive across a range of goods. Having said that not every item Schmiedmann offers is the least expensive and if I'm looking at expensive items or larger orders I still cross check against FCP and occasionally Pelican. I have no complaints with the service from any of these vendors so price is the bottom line for me although DHL straight to my door with no delays is a bonus worth considering (shipping out of the US is often hit and miss in my experience). Also, for the benefit of the OP - you did ask about "bulk" and if you had asked about "individual" items then Milland BMW and Euro Italian are local companies that should be considered. I've purchased from both and was suitably impressed.
  5. Parking in mobility parks, tailgating, brake-testing tailgaters, taking up two fuel pump stations and paying with coins. I'm in a BMW bitches. Respect My Authoritah.
  6. Afraid not. I tried to fix both but the results were poor. I have an 18 button that I'll put in some time when I pick up a connector for it.
  7. So today I fixed my coolant level sensor and my unreadable check control display. Perfect, no more dead pixels or dash light!
  8. Welcome Jordan, that looks quite tasteful. I've never seen that colour, a bit difficult to gauge from the pics, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh one day.
  9. No chance. And Schmiedmann have perfectly reasonable shipping, not really much point in shopping around.
  10. schmiedmann.com Fast and cost effective shipping, superb customer service. Split packages so they're less than NZ$400 including shipping to avoid the GST.

    Quick rant thread.

    One of my pet peeves, people that don't progress the queue whether in a vehicle or on foot. Do they have no idea?

    Breakdown

    I have a new-in-box pulley (#11 28 1 748 131) available in Ellerslie if that's what you need? If it will help you can have it as long as you replace it. Edit: and look at that, I also have two new belts: 11 28 1 437 449 11 28 7 636 379
  13. ^ that's just too simplistic which makes it inaccurate. Vodafone has fibre and copper (ChCh, Wel, Akl). Telstra had copper and fibre (nationwide), now Vodafone's, Spark has copper and fiber (nationwide) in addition to what they, and others, use from Chorus. Not to mention Vocus (nationwide). All mobile providers need backhaul and they can't rely entirely on 3rd parties for that. Now, I'm not saying that makes any of their customer service any better.

    US$1,830 - ouch! http://racehead.com.au/products-page/throttle-body-kits/bmw-m50-52-itb-kit/
  15. Why would red seat belts be illegal if they're an OEM part? That aside, a guy in the US is making some high quality repro ones that I have my eye on, won't be available this year though (same guys that repro'd all of the M fabric and that stuff is perfect). Mirrors look way less cool than the factory M ones IMHO.
  16. I think that eBay sump is dual pickup... but $$$... https://www.eeuroparts.com/blog/5615/diy-motorsports-oil-system-upgrade-e36-bmws/
  17. You have baby baffles, this is what you need: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E36-M3-3-0-S50-ENGINE-GROUP-N-RACING-SUMP-PAN-GENUINE-BMW-/322336807879 But of course just get aftermarket baffles and weld them in to your existing sump. And B32 pump has dual pickups, you need that too.

    Cheap M2

    Spanner (13mm), hammer and the BMW special tool (M version) is all that's needed. I could probably sort it in a weekend. But I am pretty ace.
  19. ^ Nice. Pretty much any tyre you want will fit. Take the sizes of your current ones and run with that.

    Doesn't even look tinted from those pics. How's the radio reception with them?
  21. Yay! Got a warrant so I could also renew her license! All legal now. Gearbox next, need to call Glenn.

    I'm not guessing but I'd like to know the facts(ish).
  23. Low 15's if you improve the RT and tbh ~88 km/h isn't bad... I'd be pretty happy with that as a start actually.

    Will you elaborate or do you enjoy being evasive? Are your insights somehow top secret?
