  1. I have a buyer for the below wheels but he doesn't want the tyres. Who'll give me $250 for them? As you can see in the photos, the outsides have probably 80% tread and the insides have about 30% thread. When you remount them reverse the in and out (they are directional but not asymetric, so you can do this) and you will get tonnes of life from them. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=43118 Looking for a quick sale.
  2. Sorry the pictures links are broken. My crappy hosting provider (dotster.com) is down again. I am changing hosting, pics should work again in a few hours.
  3. They are all the same. You can swap the fronts and rears periodically to keep the tread wear even. :-)
  4. Genuine OEM E36 Motorsport wheels 17 x 7.5 5 wheels in very good condition 4 mounted with approx 70% tread Kingstar K106 235/40/17 tyres 1 mounted with good spare tyre $1400
  5. Did I miss something? Is it manual or auto?
  6. I would appreciate of someone how know can tell me if a CD43 unit will "plug and play" in place of my OEM AM/FM Cassette/CD stacker controller. The car is a SA import 1997 318i Motorsport. Thanks, James
  7. I've been made aware I need to specify NZ New... though I think anything NOT Japanese will do...I'm from Canada so I don't know but I think Jap radios have screwed up FM tuners or something.
  8. UPDATE: I popped off the seat and cover plate (very easy!) and had a look at the sender on the right side (with fuel pump). I pulled the connector off the send and measured the reisistance... open circuit... so that's the problem. I shorted the connector with piece of wire. The gauge works again. Half is full and it goes down from there. Will see about fixing it in the near future. May get a used one or try to repair the exisiting one.
  9. Everyone seems to take these out but I like it and mine's ka-put. Please, sell me your discard for cheap! Car is a 1997 318is. Thanks, James
  10. I had a look and can see how to remove the sender unit. Can the wire/sender be repaired or do I have to buy a new one (*yike$*) There is a sender on both sides. Is there a reason you think it's the right side one? Is it the one that usually fails? Thanks, James
  11. Is the a common fault or am I just very (un)lucky? Is it difficult to get to the sender? Do I have to remove the tank? I'm in Hamilton/Raglan. Cheers, JS
  12. I have 2 x1997 318i's A few months ago the petrol gauge on one stopped working, showed empty all the them, then after a few weeks started to either show empty or some random reading from time to time. I've haven't had a chance to look at fixing it yet. Yesterday the gauge on my other 318i did the same thing! Just driving along and bang, it starts showing empty. Can someone point me in the right direction as to a solution? Thanks, JS
  13. good luck, nice car. M43 motors suck!
  14. I love these cars too, and I also need a wagon to replace my 318i Motosport, but I am incapable of driving an automatic transmission, which is a big problem in NZ.
  15. If only it was manual :-(
  16. Funny thing... I did win the lotto! (really, the wife was incredulous as she always says I'm wasting my money on lotto tickets) However, only won 1/3 of the price so won't be buying it. I see an E36 M3 in my future though :-)
  17. Maybe if 5amchris sells me the car. :-) I only won just a bit more than the asking price... still, better than [insert suitable cliche here].
