  1. Wanting door cards and the rear cards (lateral trim panel) in black to suit 1993 coupe. Also RH door rubber seal. A good unmarked second hand one in black. On checking new cost a mortgage would be required? Why is this item so costly? Also rear parcel shelf tray, the one that fades. Car has third brake light one of these required too. Steering wheel 323422227751 with airbag and sundry gubbins. Early four spoke style. Must have unfrayed stitching. Also require LH side front fog lense. Looking for Business RDS radio too. Or may just use radio delete plate. Ghastly Blaupunkt with more knobs and switches at present. Need university degree to drive it. Will post it up for sale. Can you help, call 029 777 4006 or PM is good, thanks for reading.
  2. As above a good sound one without too may holes. P/M or call, 029 777 4006 Bill.

    E46 330ci Manual

    IMO the ride height is very good. And will over time to the balanced lower look you are seeking. Nothing like the crackle of a supersprint?
  4. That's all very well and good. Unfortunately Bimmergeeks cannot provide for my chassis of choice (E86) at the moment whereas Carly can for the quick fixes, and on our other cars too. Have NCS and Expert, Inpa too, but its a bit more fiddly hooking up. Hey but thanks guys.
  5. Seem to missing something here, not sure what it is. Thank you anyway, Carly works fine not only for diagnosis but adjusting parameter settings too, on our cars My cost was about $60AUD for the Gen3 gizmo, and 3.85 pounds for a full subscription, if as you say its a months subscription its done me well for the last 12.
  6. Well I don't know anyone capable of pirating. So more than happy to pay 3.85 Pounds for a full subscription, works for me, and many others too, no doubt. Thanks for your input here.
  7. Not so. Buy a full subscription off ebay. About ten bucks, immediate file transfer.
  8. Tell me what you have, a set of 4, staggered would be good. Or consider ACS type 1 monobloc 17x8.5 ET35 .Call or text 029 777 4006, thanks for reading, Bill
  9. Thank you, we see it more in the cars for sale section. Watchers are quick to comment, off the cuff or not, on a wide range of topics quite often so diverse from the item for sale. Vendors are listing a car for sale in a visual medium. Really, those bona fide watchers will be calling, or making a call, I know, the old fashioned way, instead of making fatuous comments online. We would be quite happy to use TradeMe more if it deleted the "Ask a question" function
  10. Exactly qube. Classic! ?All the readers on this forum know why this vendor's strategy will not achieve a sale of the car. No M badge. And for the property, jeepers Dickens, the street name gives it all away. As I recall that bloke got into trouble by asking for more.
  11. Thank you. Trade Me has, this year at least become an unpleasant place to sell stuff, whether it be a car or whatever. The amount of vicious trolling going on by armchair eggspurts (drips under pressure) has to be read to be believed. And some of the price expectations and the quality of goods on offer, honestly, some people must be on drugs when the listing is created. Wondering if it is Covid related? changing the format has NOT helped as total listings have dropped , it was in excess of 8 million items. And from today you can now "make an offer" for some items in certain sections. A raft of changes happening........... Disclosure: My other half is an avid Trade Me seller (and buyer unfortunately) with garden plants and seeds. Drives me to drink every night?
  12. The motor trade is reporting vigorous activity with good numbers being achieved. This has seen good quality trades moved onto the general market at realistic prices. Some of us have been lucky with our "special interest" cars too. A surplus of average cars in the average price brackets like Ahmedsinc, coupled with a format change to our beloved TradeMe has seen a slow up in this sector. Best to use your personal network, and thinking outside the square, like making up a spec sheet, price etc with contact details stick it on the window, and park it up on the roadside in a high traffic area works well for a surprising number of people. There is a lot of money floating about for discretionary purchases. Reverse marketing (putting the price up) works well in a situation like this too Ahmedsinc, not like there are 10 wagons to compare with!

    E36 328i/M3 Coupe

    What are the wheels on the car in these pix DS99? BBS RC090? Not sure but someone will know. Great pix, a great car. Only original once.?
  14. I'm struggling with the lack of love displayed by the Kiwi BMW driver / motorist for the Alpina brand. Can see a lot in this car not present in the equivalent letter car, faster, 0-60mph, tops out at 195 MPH, better braking and handling. Coachbuilt, hand assembled engine sure, not 6 speed manual trans, and I get the luxo barge thing too. Comes down to price, heaps of car for not much money (by comparison)
  15. Talk to Dave M3AN ask him to add to Smeidmann order. Cheap as chips
  16. Yes racked and packed. One of the rare instances where size does matter ? And quite economic from the UK ports too.
  17. Remember that car, about 9 years ago (For us Cantabrians PQ, or post quakes) As I recall it was a project car for the workshop. Remember it had no rear spoiler from new, and still looks the same. The fake book pics show a minty interior and the hurricane or rain(?) cloth / alacantra still looks smart, with no fading.
  18. Check the Demon Tweeks website for best global pricing in $NZ dollars to your door in double quick time. Recommend them over DC Performance based on experience with global shopping. And Evan Pittman and his guys are a good team Evan is well thought of in the various Renn Sport race series, they would supply links etc I'm sure if asked. Should you choose to go down this track may I suggest Speedfactor do the fitting too. KW branded product has stainless moving parts, the ST has innox, so susceptible to corrosion, no real deal breaker here in NZ firstly because of our climate, secondly we are putting good bits on our "toy" or hobby cars that rarely (in my garage anyway) see rain. In Auckland you chaps are lucky to have Ray at Hell BM on your doorstep, he has vast experience in all facets of suspension and mechanical, in fact his knowledge bank is greater than than the sum of the contributors to your post combined.☺️ Personally our M cars mostly have ST X /XA and Koni / Eibach Pro, and years ago Ray did influence my thinking here.
  19. Thanks Gaz and Barry. Quite agree Gaz. Moreso as I don't have a car to fit them on, the vendor of the E36 got sellers remorse before concluding! There are plenty of cars for sale at the moment so waiting on a price from you Barry. Quite like muckin about with wheels.........?
  20. These are replica wheels? ? Think the style 65 was OEM in 18 inch only? But may be wrong here.
  21. OK thanks, our car is two in, two out. And like you can hardly hear any audible difference. No drone either. Wondered if a H pipe may make some change. Might drop the rear silencer, peel back the top and see whats in there to tinker with.
  22. Following with interest here. Have the same drivetrain, albeit a different platform. When you did the resonator delete Matt, did you H pipe it? ie put a joiner between the pipes replacing the resonator. Interested too in your updates, particularly relating to the Milvs installation and tune application.
  23. The gloss has gone right off them. Market reajusting driving up slightly the N/A inline six cylinders at the expense of the N54 N and S 55 engined cars. Well overdue too, we are always the last to cotton on here in NZ. That was a very nice car too, happy seller there!
