M3AN

Yep, mine is from a Z3. Depending on the year of the M3 you may need to add nutserts to the front cross member (subframe). Edit: mine's a coupe and it comes standard on the vert but I can't speak to the sedan. Should be the same but can't promise. Probably worth a speculative purchase, if it doesn't fit you'll flick it no problems.

They all suck but make sure you ask for a flatbed and not a tow and you'll reduce your risk 1 million percent. Edit: and make sure they use dolly's and do *not* haul it up by the front or rear arms, only the tow hooks, however much of a PITA that is.

Before you overheat it PM me your rock bottom cash price. I'm not afraid of cosmetically challenged... although a 5'er might be a bit bigger than I want.

Wood panels! Rock on!

It's very sweet in absolute terms. It's incredibly damn sweet for the price he paid. Quite amazing actually. Well done mate!

Still want rid of this? Any possibility of getting it to Akl? Could be willing to discuss. Send me a PM if you like.

No problemo.

Your old ones.

That's looking sweet! What are you doing with the door cards/inserts?

Ask the seller to confirm how they've confirmed it's a "Competition Package" - if they can't provide proof then they can't claim it is in the auction. So, either they have proof or they're misrepresenting and would have to alter the auction and probably their asking price.

I'm not sure I understand? All I meant was that a house that costs you 300k elsewhere might cost you 600k in Auckland.

They may be brash but they're quite good ideas for addressing growth which is the problem here. I'm sure there are others. We don't have the infrastructure in Auckland to support current population levels and we can't build enough infrastructure to catch up with demand let alone surpass it. Ever. Auckland doesn't have a housing crisis, it has a population crisis and more houses aren't going to fix Auckland's problems they're going to exacerbate it. If you don't like my ideas then proffer some viable alternatives that are economically viable? It's easy to be a critic.

That's a 600k house in Auckland I'm afraid. It's exactly what I'm in and that's on a subdivided section.

Good price. I'll take it.

^ agreed. We seriously need a one child policy and to shut down immigration entirely for a few generations. **I am not anti-immigrants nor anti-children, I'm anti-population increase.

Welcome Murray. Certainly can't criticise the colour choice and they both look like they have mint paint as well, props!

Have a read of these as well: http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/techarticles/101-Projects-70-Power-Windows/101-Projects-70-Power-Windows.htm http://www.dvatp.com/bmw/power_window

Agreed. I'm not that impressed.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get the impact in there because I can't get the wheel off, it's been done up with air!

Yeah, that's how it works.

Price? Trademe link?

Oil and filter and I added a magnetic sump plug, let's see what that will do. Did a full flush with 2l of clean oil and lifted the car from side to side. In the end only gold was coming out. Took a few hours but happy. Not happy about not being able to take my wheels off or being unable to undo my tie-rods!

Argh. Shops that do your wheel bolts up with an air gun! My electric impact gun won't loosen them and I broke a 3/8" 2.5" extension trying with a lever. 80Nm for wheel nuts, not 300!!! Can't get my wheels off until Tuesday now. :-/

Trademe invites tyre-kickers for sure, that's why I prefer to use a forum if possible - but in doing so I understand I'm inviting discussion, whether I like it or not. No permission required there I'm afraid. Hopefully on all counts! But if we do meet trackside it will be social only, I don't claim to have a race car or be a race car driver! Ask me first, I see prices are going up and I know a good one.

Who deleted my previous post in this thread and why? Post #599882 Very bad form to whichever mod did that. Fess up.
