Thanks @Olaf Don't have the part number sorry but its the one everyone uses, is collapsible/slides and length alters. One thing to note with this and others if watching is about the bearing swap to e30. The bearings are pushed out and installed with the bearing strakes removed, doing this therefore renders nothing holding the bearing captive. The bearing that gets reused is also not exactly the right size, talking microns but it's still not the right size. One option is to put a weld tack on it, however this is not really acceptable for a couple reasons, 1. Your welding a steering component, this will fail cert and puts heat into the steel, in terms of metal strength this also potentially weakens it. It's also heating the bearing which holds grease and any deformation impears on the bearing 2. The knuckle is alloy, bearing steel. You can't weld dissimilar materials, the alloy won't stick to the steel I therefore went to a driveshaft specialist who machined out the housing by a hair, put in a new bearing that suits the uni joint, and put in a lock screw. Please see picture. I think it cost me less than $150 but for the sake of a steering component and passing cert I think its worthwhile. Power steering pipes I assume your talking about? Haven't got that far, is on the list! Is probably a job ill save for when its on a hoist and I don't have to grovel on the ground up and down tweaking! But the rear end is also all bolted together. LSD mounted, 325 axles, suspension. Inner guards have also been undersealed again

They'll fit, just haven't had them on as these were closer at the time. Have some other 17x9s for the rear ill also be using that should sit even better, just waiting on some tyres

All coming out of the woodwork now https://www.trademe.co.nz/3070001422

Owell yet again I have been slacking on the updates Motors in, having a couple of wiring issues which will hopefully get sorted. So far the starter motor isn't working at all so need to see what's going on there Rolled it out for a photo. The front wheel is slightly turned hence the slightly off center position, plus needs an alignment aswell. Rear wheels aren't here to stay Picked up another set of wheels this week for it. 16x7.5 style 15s, will be good for the almost factory bottle cap look

Pricing on this one is like a yo-yo, was down at 18-19kish couple weeks back?

Long shot, but don't ask don't get. Anyone have a mtech 1 spoiler for sale? Prefer genuine, Also after the following while I'm at it, again don't expect anyone to have it. Mtech 2 full kit Thanks Friendly Dunedinite

Might have a motor in this week LSD ready to go in. Had it in last night but had a minute crack on rear housing so had to swap it over, went for a 3.25 ratio. Was going for a 3.46 but car will be more of a road car now E30 325 axles getting regreased, what a fun job trying to get all the ball bearings back in is

Have these down at $300 now

Nuts arrived yesterday Existing setup All bolted up well E36 EVO 96+ LCA, brakes, solid discs, knuckles, powerflex offset bushes

Long time no update, all the way on page 2! Had some issues with steering knuckles, got it sorted and ordered some from UK, assembled with new bearings etc Steering link swapped over to a barina type and Z3 rack installed Have some new nuts coming for ball joints and tie rods, once they arrive will bolt in the suspension and motor and box will go in. Have a m50 manifold and tune to install on motor, will keep the ITBs for a rainy day as such ....more updates soon

This sold last year from a member off here i recall?

Brakes appear to be the same on real oem and in real life. Lugs on the bottom where the strut lower mount bolts too is slightly thicker on the evo, giving it slightly more camber. This ofcourse can be allowed for in non evo hubs by adjustable top hats

Selling my knuckles as was told they were evo but were not, purchased evo ones ex Europe so selling these, i have measured and compared side by side and from what i can see would work to 5 stud an e30 if thats the buyers plan, i can send photos if requested, https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/suspension/listing/2945793656?bof=rEMB4UX4

Is there a contact for kleinanzeigen? Haven't heard of them sorry. Courier wait is no problem

Yea few and far between unfortunately! Would look at similar style so long as genuine and 17s. @euroriffic probably wouldn't be too happy if i borrowed his long term

After some 17inch AC Schnitzer type one, 3 piece wheels. 5x120 Not too worried about condition as will rebuild but must be 17s Thanks Cam

Cars sold with them on it sorry

You might want to be wary of going to a ZF, depending on what one, and a 3.73 ratio diff, depends on the cars intended use of course

Now on trademe, https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/318is/listing/2864557210?bof=eGgC04hz Thanks

Hi guys, Sadly I have to sell my E36IS MS, I was planning on keeping it, unfortunately I have too much on my plate and need to finish other cool projects, like my kitchen and bathroom, and my E30... anyway 1998 E36 318IS Motorsport 218kms Manual Wof and reg till May 2021 Hellrot red $7500ono Its not immaculate by any means I will admit that, however given the rarity and it having goof bones it will tidy up well, i unfortunately just do not have the time at the moment Any questions please just message Located Dunedin

Coincidental that Group A has been my work computer wallpaper for the past couple of years, seems to cheer me up during the day!

Id agree with this, to me it doesnt make sense if you have spent $100k why wouldnt you spend the extra 1% to get a cert plate and then its legal and able to be sold in theory easier

I recently brought my father a e46 touring 320d in auto, ill admit i was hesitant being auto. After the first drive id prefer it over a manual, auto suits modern diesels so much better and alot easier to drive. Its also a diesel touring so its not really a sports car anyway, and if it was id imagine the auto would actually be quicker in the diesel option.

Sorted. Thanks guys for the reply. If I was further north I would be grabbing the 8.5s but unfortunately freight would kill them
