Yeah & they get owned by that 2002 turbo in the open BMW class racing too bit of a surprise . Saw Mosens blow an engine last meet , must have been expensive , probably why they want such hi prices for their used parts lol

Ok definatley take just the left passenger 1 the shock is leaking after I hit a huge pot hole month ago so I will swap the springs over to existing . Transport to Levin Thanks

In Levin interested if price is reasonable freights from ham to here usually around $15 cheers

I need to replace damaged left front strut in my E36 328 is there any difference between the 325 & 328 ie spring rate or the damper as I am looking to get a used 1 .

I do it every time going to Hutt . Used to live at the start at akatarawa. good short cut , i do upper hutt to levin in 1hr 10 min . once know the road can be good drive but watch for motorhomes comming through , its regarded as a senic road . Also Tthe moonshine road pahatanui to upper hutt , gravel mostly .

Mine only atracts dogs . Everytime I take it out of the garage my mutt pees on all 4wheels twice ,first clockwise then anti clockwise . Especialy likes to do it after cleaning it just to make sure all other dogs know who owns it .

I only tried local dealer for cylinders , in end only cost $150 to have them sleeved in SS & new seals .

Sold ( gave away )my 1980 6 35 in march . Parts specific to them impossible to get & BMW stopped making parts for them while ago .This I found to my expense after taking the 5 speed out & spliting it for overhaul only to find no parts available anywhere -i tried every BMW supplier i could find world wide .Not even the bearings & no substitute available either . Best I could get was SKF said if I gave them the old bearings they could remanufacture at $$ . Couldnt get master cylinder or clutch slave so had to get them resleeved . BMW said they would always provide parts for their classics but guess economics & pressure to sell new cars changed that , needless to say I was very dissapointed & glad to be rid of it . Bought a 328 i s now .

Lucky not in Uk old top gear 4last nite 8000 quid for insurance on turbo 2000 quid car ??????? & its compulsory

Emailed classic cover (vero) & they assure me the agreed value sum insured is the $payout if it was a total loss , any alteration to value would be at MY REQUEST. Had 3 cars with them straight up crowd dont know if Mark Joblin is still the principal but my claim was done via net , just sent photos & quote from my prefered repairer & all done even asked if i was completely satisfied with the job before paying the repairer. But dont know if they take on under 25 s .

It nearly died when they had other marques ,the falcodore series at least kept it going . It already costs several mill to run a V8 season& a lot cant afford it now , so how the hell would they afford mercabeems without direct factory teams ,( currently not allowed ). The 2 litre series was open to all marques but it failed to get much interest & was dropped . Even the Euro teams struggling to make it in their own back yard without another series to compete in . Might see Toyota in but that would be it . Even our home V8 boys finding it tough to get $$ to compete ,look at the smaller feild this year .

Ive had my 80 manual for 8years virtualy rebult , put 87 donk in after old 1 did the head gasket twice &recoed the head . being ex uk had rust in rear gaurds which had to have patches then full repaint plus the usual stuff on a 30 year old car -all the brake gear water & fuel hoses d shaft do nut & centre bearing . Was my weekend warrior but now up for sale as bought 95 328 is until i can find anther project BMW . Missed out on rusty 535 manual that sold for $1500 last year all 635 csi s around have been done up or full resto .. Good to drive long distance & still attract attention . mine is on Tm at moment

hi my E36 328is has these "GT racing 'chrome wheels with Toyo proxes 245/40 /zr/18 tyres on when i bought it . it goes round corners like on rails but its hard ride like a billy cart on coblestones & constantly correcting for bumps or tramlining very tiring on long trips . I want something more for long distance touring than tearing around corners flat out , tyre merchants give conflicting advice , just trying to sell the most expensive combo they can i suspect . So any recommendations ?

well i recently bought a 96328 s spec nz new only difference being its manual drove an M328 & couldnt feel any difference in handling or performance & was 2G$ dearer

coincidence i just bought a 328is with GTracing chromes with new Toyo proxes 245/40/zr18 s on it . Dont like the chrome so was going to get it disolved & powder coated white as car is that deep metalic blue.
