Slight lean plus drivers side shot makes it look lower ?

I had the same issue using cobra lowering springs on my old touring. Drivers side measured 585mm from centre cap to arch, passenger side 600mm.

If you swap the f springs around the ride height should basically balance out when you’re in the driver seat. I think all these after market spring makers for bmw’s use lhd cars as their basis. 

Sold.

I may have one, i’ll check on the weekend.

In good working condition. Fits many different e39 models. (See list in pic)

$250

No use for this anymore since I’ve sold my 530i. I purchased the transmission from BMWORLD in Papakura and had the torque converter rebuilt with the intention of fitting it all in to my ex 530i. 

Approximately 140k km on the trans. 0km on the torque converter - it’s as new. I’ve also pre-installed a genuine zf filter kit. Comes with the correct synthetic fluid and rear main seal kit.

Pick up only in West Auckland.
 

I’m asking $700

Yes, it appears he can't confirm if any work has been carried out on the brakes, cooling system or if the timing chain etc has been replaced. 

Sounds like the typical neglected kiwi car where a WOF and engine oil changes constitutes a service. 

Any fussy owner would likely be looking at timing chain, brakes, suspension, cooling system and a decent service after buying. $6500 could double in no time. 

Yeah I could see it owing a fussy owner 20k once everything has been sorted out incl transmission.

Land Yacht now sold. Was a cool project and I’m really happy with its transformation. Thanks for watching.

Now sold.

Sold pending payment.

I wonder what all those broken and damaged e36 bits that I just didn't have the heart to throw out will be worth? Like 3 sets of incomplete coupe door cards! ? 

Why don’t you try selling them then instead of having a whinge about being called out for sh*t stirring. Subtle enough?

How much are new ones? Local I assume?

Local i was quoted between 150 and 190 + gst depending on if they needed to be ordered ex Germany. FCP euro were $40usd ea so went with that. No gst to pay either.

Sorting out the rear door vapour barriers (VB’s).

They started leaking about 3 years ago, but not bad enough to soak the carpet thankfully. Back then i decided to use some butyl mastic in a caulking gun which turned out to be a temporary fix.
 

This attempt I’ve decided to go with the official bmw procedure using new VB’s as the old ones I couldn’t bear cleaning off old butyl. Below is a description of the procedure.
 

So starting with removing the old VB I then heated up and scraped off as much butyl as possible from the inner door panel. Using a rag and some prepsol I managed to fully clean off all the old butyl followed by a wipe down of the contact area with isopropyl. 
 

Then apply fresh butyl tape to the VB leaving the wax paper on. Offer it up to the door panel. Peel the wax paper off as you press down until the VB is fully attached to the inner door panel. Heat up the perimeter of the door panel and use a seam roller to press down on the butyl for good adhesion.

Instructions say to let the butyl “set” for 5 hours before doing and load tests (i.e leak test, open/closing door). Fingers crossed this is a lasting repair.
