Hey for starters have a look at this thread: e39 I wouldn't have thought replacing rear speakers is going to help you too much - I fade mine out completely. You're better off getting a good set of front component speakers and adding amp\sub if required. My opinions on your other questions. 1. A new headunit might improve sound but I'd start with what you have. You can bypass the factory amp but if you're not confident you'd best get a pro to do it for you. 2. I wouldn't. 3. Where are you?

Nice! What amp are you running those off? If you want to keep the factory headunit but manipulate the output you might want to look at a signal processor...

I have an e30 coupe. The drivers door works all the door locks but sometimes doesn't unlock the passenger door. As it works sometimes I know the motor in the passenger door functions - but it sticks. If you door motor is not working getting an alarm installed won't fix the problem. Unless they replace the lock motors at extra cost. The transponder key won't help with this either - it usually just signals to a module placed behind the ignition. Once the transponder is recognised the immobiliser is switched off and the car can be started. Probably best off getting someone to look at your locking system first. Car audio - what did you have in mind? The e30 has 5.25 inch speakers in the footwell and these are easily replaced for immediate results. Add a 10 inch sub in the boot (behind the ski pass if you have an arm rest in the centre of the back seat) for bass.

1. e30 M3 2. e28 M5 3. e39 M5

Yeah bummer about the auto box. Otherwise cool! Weird looking headunit...

Double the price I know but I like this one better M5 Wagon

Beautiful car! Loving the miami vice car phone

^ Maybe... From memory it said KM gauges on the VIN lookup info sheet... Carjam history also showed Km from first rego'd date from memory. Maybe just faulty memory though

Yeah it will have a M20 6 pot. He says it has a zender kit - looks nice. 190 could be km's... I have an 87 e30 couple imported from the UK and my odometer is in Km's.

Fix it! I want to buy an M3 one day (probably an e36 due to cost) so the more in existence the better! If you're looking for re-sale value your better off keeping it purple - people like me assume you're hiding crash repairs and rust under new paint... I've been looking at e36 M3 prices for a little while. Cheapest I've seen one was a very high k at approx. $15k. Low k examples I haven't seen one under $20k.

Here you go...

Rusty VW in the fore ground...

Pics would be nice

On19 - e30 possibly broken down on the side of the road in Albany? Nice looking car

If you factor in shipping time and time to install you don't have much time to enjoy any of that overseas stuff. I'd go with what Rogan said - by the by he's got a good build thread here somewhere (or on nzicemag forum) doing all sorts of interesting things to a e39. Since you don't want to do it yourself get someone* to do a boot install - sub and amp. Listen and decide if that's enough. Maybe also get a local front speaker upgrade and I'd stay with 5.25 inch (I have a set of infinity kappa 5.25 components in the front of my e30 and other than wishing I'd amped them I'm happy). Vendors - keep an eye on the 1 day deal section for abtech: 10 inch DD sub looks good *installers is the hard part. I have heard very mixed reviews on Rapid Radio and even when people have said they did a good job it was very expensive!

$18! nice buying...

Haven't seen one of these in a little while. Anyone in the market? Link

You need a sun roof

Mmm that gearknob would look good in my car...

Sweet! Install looks pretty tidy to me

Who'd you have to kill?

Saw a lovely e30 M3 yesterday. Heading north up the motorway then giving it some welly up the Albany Expressway. License was 88 M3.

Colour is fantastic! The headlights make her look angry...

There are special people out there... Oh Dear

Not usually a 7 series fan but that car is lovely! Imagine replacing the tyres would make my eyes water...
