EVILRE30

Oh gutted guess il have to settle for black pre facelift types thanks for the info.

Hey guys quick question can you fit facelift kidney grills to a non facelift nose on a E36?Thanks

Just a few quick question been thinking about maybe converting my auto E36 M43 to a 5speed Manual.The thing is does it matter what 5speed gearbox i use like long as it was fitted to the same model E36 and engine? or?The other thing is i was going to convert the engine a bit further down the track to a 6 cylinder would the gearbox adapt to the 6 cylinder engine.Also any recommendations in better options such as what gearbox/clutch etc to use would be really appreciated. Thanks Jaz

At first i was whats a GTR BMW thinking RB26DETT but after reading the full ad i see a 1.8is i guess.Not my cup of tea but some one might be in to it.

Bit off topic but where do you buy parts for your ride DrphTa?Just trying to locate decent places in Goldy that sell BM parts. Cheers

Hey there umm well i don't really know whats cool but over the years i have many brands of tyres on my cars.It's all down to budget what you can afford your driving style and what you drive.I wouldn't just put a set of tyres on for the cool factor as there a key item that keeps you in contact with the road.I'm running Kumho Ecsta 16"s so far I'm very impressed by them as price wise there reasonable and great grip in the wet and dry.But there on a 318i so there's not a lot of power running through them.What kind of wheels do you have size etc? i would upgrade that as well if you want that sort of attention from people.

Hi that sort of stuff is common over here either they damage your wheels,car, or just get it wrong etc. It's also common to see them rattle gun your wheel nuts and ruin them.You have to ask and ask them to use a t bar and even watch them too.The best thing is find a Tyre shop that you can trust and are happy with the work they do downside is a little bit more pricey sometimes.Over here most of the Tyre shops are franchises so everyone is run different cause of the owner,manager,and staff.Don't get me wrong some are great but not many best to supervise your self or take just the wheels to the shop leave the car at home on stands.

Thanks again guys for that didn't even think they could be from a Z4.Also sorry didn't pick up on the sticky in the wheels section i must have been blind lol.

Hey guys just wondering if these wheels on my E36 are stock BMW wheels or just random 16"s with BMW center caps on them?.I Haven't had a chance to take them off the car to inspect them properly.I have searched the net as well looked at car sales websites etc in AU/NZ but haven't seen any on another E36 yet.Any info would be great also any advice on 18"s on E36's are a good idea or not? Thanks Jaz

Thanks for the welcomes cars out of the workshop now didn't have time to wash it and take any decent pics yet.Will be pulling the alternator to check the brushes have a suspicion they're past the minimum length.Going to get a local auto electrician to make some replacement ones up and solder them in.

Thanks Glenn will just have to wait till next week and get it out of the car and find out what type and part numbers/amp output is etc.Just hope you N.Z guys have a regulator for it as buying a total second hand unit(gamble) over here is a rip off.And most auto sparky's charge a arm for a rebuild and don't want to just replace the brushes.

Hi does any one have an idea what alternator would be in a 95 E36 318i M43B18.Looking for a voltage regulator for it with decent brushes would check my self but the cars not accessible at the moment.Can any of you pro's help thanks

Those engines a plentiful over here and cheap from early Vn's and Vp's yet to see a E36 over here with one.But I'm sure there are a few lurking also there is a factory super charged v6 from a early Holden not sure what model(maybe a early statesman?) that might kick the power up in a underpowered E36 or E30 if you were to go that way.

That looks great mate loving the deep dish wheels what are the specs on them?
