Hi guys, Need a radiator expansion tank for a 99 540i, hoping to pick one up this weekend or Monday morning, hmmm. Anyone have anything?

So what is an nz 540is? and does anyone know what package this particular car has? have deleted cookies and forum is working nicely cheers

Oh yeah, I just thought the 540is was a little more special using some of the m5 goodies, this page, and it's links can be a bit confusing but i see now the m540 is the top model, followed by the 540is, then the 540i.. http://www.kindel.com/BMW/m540_info.htm hmmm

I thought the IS had the m5 kit, brakes, suspension, body kit, wing mirrors etc?? I'm fairly confused about the whole situation Oh and on a side note how do i bring up the entire thread on the forum, rather than having to click on each reply? thanks

Hey all, A friend of mine is interested in this car http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=395546089 Not sure if it's a members car or has been discussed before but what is the deal with it? I thought the 540is had all the msport options? but this appears to be a rather standard 540i 6 speed.. Can someone shed some light on this, is it a 540is or 540i, or does it not matter, did NZ just get pick n mix models? Cheers

Hi guys, just replaced the front brake hoses on my e34 535i, bled the brakes and topped up the fluid, but now whenever i turn the ignition on the dash display reads "warning low brake fluid" ....it has plenty of brake fluid by the way have done a quick search and some people seem to turn the ignition to position #2,leave it for 30sec then switch it off and that suposedly resets the warnings... doesn't seem to be working for me.the dash quite often tells me washer fluid is low aswell even when topped up so how do i reset these warnngs? thanks Rowan

Sweet Riley, be good to see that thing out there. Just make sure you email Drew and he will give you more details and sign you up. anyone else keen??

Hey Guys, Dunno if anyone knows of Motosoc, but its the University of Canterbury Motorsport Society. I am the Car President of this club and run events throughout the year. Anyway I have an afternoon trackday coming up and want to see if any of you guys/girls are keen to come out. Will be $40-$50 depending on numbers. I am gonna run it as a skills type session, with Motorkhana and basic skills on the shorter tracks first followed by open pit full track later in the day. Not to say if you have been out it wont be a fun day though. If theres interest I will try suss out a possibility of paying an extra $40 to have a twenty minute session with a race instructer at the end if you want some tips and pointers. Anyway flick me an email if you are keen, dgr49@student.canterbury.ac.nz Chur, Drew

heres the usual TM link http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-168330791.htm wanting over 4k, will inc stereo at 4.5k Rowan

ok thanks guys, will check it all out this weekend, hopefully it's not the headgasket

hey guys my 535 started running really rough while driving through town the other nite especially under acelleration, sounded like it wasnt running on all cylinders. it got progresively worse and within a couple of minutes was undriveable so pulled over and it died. i could restart it but it would only rev up to 1500 rpm with my foot flat and would die if it tried to idle. at the time i wasn't thinking right so didn't think to check the exhaust for steam ie blown headgasket. i'll start it up and check it out when ive got some time this weekend but what else could/should i look for? thanks

http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....t=0#entry150853 heres some pics.tyres as new, wheels recently painted,new centre caps. i'm not that keen on swaps though unless i end up with 1K in my pocket and some standard wheels on my car

Hi brent sorry but would prefer to sell complete, too much hasle trying to get another set of wheels to keep it rolling and posting them up etc. if it doesn't sell then maybe. i'd want offers over 1k for them

set of bilstein HD's for e34,came out of a 535,done 100,000 k's.havn't actually used them myself so unsure of condition but they arn't leaking or anything. Pick up in chch open to offers over $400. 027 696 2778 cheers Rowan

Jimmy Just pmd you let me know if you want to have a look at the cars Rowan

I would have one, but as so many other people have said i'd want something a little different rather than just your car model or name. one of my favourite plates i've seen is u 16yt although i wouldn't rep it haha

looking for a large room in a chch flat, city centre/riccarton/addignton anyone know of anything available Prefer to flat with people in early 20's who are relatively domesticated and like having some beverages on the weekend 027 696 2778 Cheers Rowan

cool site, very interesting,wouldn't mind finding out the rego number of an old r31 svd skyline i owned, 1 of 200 made,1 of 2 in nz.i want it back, is there any way to find out the details of cars you have owned? my old ute seems to have had the odo wound back twice, once wound back 185,000 k's, second time wound back 99,000 k's although that one could be a series of wrong readings.. oresome haha

new owner is in timaru i think..glad it's still in the south island.maybe if i save all my pennies i could afford it by the time it pops up for sale again! at 12k its worth every cent,but too much for me.I dont think the seller liked my offer of 9k hehe. still checking trademe every now and then for a 540i

Aparantly he's off to Australia.. it sold for 12k,pretty sure thats what he payed for it.

flick Brent a pm, he should know, as far as i'm aware same block,maybe different sump and theres a couple of head variations-compression changes
