Yeah true, but want something worth while, however will consider all options.

Hi guys, Putting feelers out there for a e36 touring for my next project. Preferably manual, 1996 onwards with M kit.

Exellent, all booked in for mid next week. The guy sounded clued up and knew what he was talking about which is comforting to know. They can do it while I wait even. 70bux an hour. Cheers.

Does anyone know of a good reputable suspension shop in the Tauranga area? The E39 is already on adjusties and just want to tuck the tops of the tyres in the guards. Had a terrible experience at Mag ang Turbo in Hastings with a trigger happy worker welding a screw driver and a mallet took to the alloy top camber adjustment hats in my Soobie and destroyed them on brand new BC golds. Want to avoid this happening again if at all possible. Suggestion welcome. Too busy and don't have correct tools to do it myself so that why I just want to drop the car off and have a pro do it. Cheers, guys.

Hi guys, About to attempt an amp and speaker upgrade in the missus E39. Basic details are; 2002 E39 525i individual, stereo is non dsp (as far as I can tell, no DSP bottom on head unit). So the plan is to remove factory amp and replace with a brand new Pyle 2000w 4ch that has been in my garage for the last few years from a previous install that never happened. Using existing wiring HU outputs to be connected via RCA plugs that will be attached to feed audio inputs. I will also use factory speaker cabling to power speakers. I have managed to find a wiring diagram from somewhere that shows which wires from the 12pin & 26pin plugs to use incl remote turn on and outputs etc. I will only use the 4 main woofer speaker cables (the other tweeter wires will be left blank) as I will be installing a nice set of Pioneer silk dome 6.5" components and the crossover will be located on the main woofer wire in the doors. Plan is to use 2 sets of the components for front and rear, will have to pull out the jigsaw and some MDF and make up some baffles to replace the factory plastic jobs so that the larger woofers can fit. This is where I need some help/advice from anyone who has done this or knows someone who has. 1- Should I use components in the rear or just use a decent coax and get rid of the rear door tweeter all together? 2- Which tweeter hole in the front should I use, the 1 by the door handle or the 1 in the A pillar? After the new speakers install then 1 will be left blank. 3- I have read bits on balanced vs unbalanced wiring etc, does this affect me or will it be a simple plug and plug job? 4- Any other advice is more than welcome. 5- Hopefully all goes according to plan. Just acquiring all parts needed to do the job so will make a start not this weekend but next weekend. Will takes photos and document and post up after all said and done for those who are keen to upgrade their own E39's. I couldn't find a good how to guide.

Yeah bro, don't know how to throw pics up on here, whats your email and I'll bang some through. It's on adjusties too, make sure you also invest in some adjusties.

We have some of these wheels on the missus' E39, 235/35/19 on the front and 265/30/19 on the rear, staggered fit, they look real nice, stay away from spacers, you shouldn't need them unless you are stancing the car, our wheels are pretty much flush anyways. I have no idea what the offset is but go to a mag wheel retailer and they should be able to help you, if you do get some make sure you don't get the ones with a flat face, get the ones that are almost dished if you know what I mean, don't know what the technical term is for that. I also believe that they were a generic model wheel that BMW offered as an upgrade, but I don't know how correct that is?

Yeah the colour is god aweful and to be honest in my opinion so are the rims. But everything else is exellent. Would be better if it were a hard top coupe, but imagine the noise with the roof down? Straight 6 & super charger screaming in union, would make for a great Sunday drive. The money you would save on doing these mods yourself would be a return on it's own. If there was a failure, just make it better, bigger cams etc etc, the list would go on and you'd end up with an epic car.

Seems like a good deal if you got a spare $39K, I'd personally buy this over any others on TM, seems like good value for money considering others are asking similar prices for standard M3's. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-484568550.htm

Degree in Horticulture, hit me up for all your growing needs. Yes can grow big fat 32 point pineapple express buds from hydroponics 6 week turn around, but mostly Kiwifruit growing nowadays. Also very experienced at drinking beer (specifically Hienken) and taking my clothes off after Jager shots and somtimes pissing the bed.

I have extreme piss drinking skills oh and I can grow plants. Probably skills that aren't very useful to anyone here.

I'll find someone who can find a way around it. Yeah I want to open up to that nice straight 6 sound like yours bud. Like a vaccum cleaner on steriods

Pax is a big doy! He's nearly as big as your cat. It's not his fault he can't see over the window sills in the Hi Lux! Yeah definately a remap is on the cards, also cold air box + pod, where can I get a decent header back exhaust done with quad pipes at the rear that will fit nicely into the rear kit I'm getting? Also, you need to help me stance the car too by the way, the front wheels need to come out a bit, the rears sit nicely in line with the arches, so might have to buy a few spacers and see what looks good and what doesn't.

Tauranga, but Auckland is not too far away.

I am not saying that it is a "boring" car, just a bit of a slouch at times, it is far from boring. Nor am I trying to replicate or replace a turbo Soobie for out right power. The car is a pleasure to drive, and handles like a dream with the adjusties and huge wheels, al I am saying is that it just needs a bit more urgency. Does the missus need to know the plans? Um... No, but that is not the point. The Hi Lux has good for torque but is noisey and inrefined to drive and does not make for a plesant ride on a long road trip (plus the dog gets car sick in it and voimts al over my nice rubber mats). So all I am after is a few mods to liberate a little more power, I'm not after V8 power, nor am I after forced induction, just something to match it's handling ability.
