Looks like the one that was for sale a couple of months back in chch with a dog kennel for an interior. Looks much better now but how long will that re-dye of the leather last?

Took a day of work today and got busy removing organs from the donor for the manual conversion. Huge thanks to Brent @BMworld today for providing much needed insight, air tools and a hoist.

Picked up the donor vehicle today. An SA spec'd 318is with a Getrag 250 in it. Was a bit of a mission but worth it in the end!

Lovely example! But pipe and slippers spec :-(

Yeah, still be heaps of fun around the track with a weedy b20.

Went halves with Jooles in a 96 323i coupe on the weekend. Paid $400 for it and was able to drive it home. ? Registered until the end of October and the wof ran out last Thursday. The po installed a new radiator and thermostat, but skimped on a flush so one of the first jobs is to drain and flush out the poo water. Plan is to fix some engine problems, Manual swap, suspension and brake restoration, then enter it in the 2kcup series and have some fun. Scanned the dme, cleared the fault memory and these returned after a drive. -Vanos jammed -CPS -Bank 1 and 2 fuel trim limits. To be continued..

Liking that! If it's got a genuine acs exhaust then chances are it will have an acs tune. Maybe cams too. Could be tricky to verify the dme mods?

Brand-new in box. No longer needed. For connecting 63.5mm or 2.5" in the old money exhaust pipes. $50 ea

By Barn the advertiser must've meant Overgrown paddock with that much rust.

Do you have the vanos v8 ? Based on my experience with your symptoms it was a failed camshaft position sensor. grinding sounds and pulsating in that rev range can be the torque converter failing. abs, traction control lights coming on is usually a wheel speed sensor or the abs module itself. you really do need to get it scanned though.

Yeah thought it would be a long shot. The C43 BM US radio module is compatible and has almost identical radio frequencies. Got one coming in from the USA. The bm24 is also compatible but often have dry solder joints now given their age.

Seems as if the radio unit in my car has packed it in. Wondering if anyone in Akl has one of these in their e46,39,38 or e53 BMW's or a spare that I can plug in to my car to see if it works.

That include the fuel system, cert, brake upgrades and tune? :-D

Reckon you'll get bored of what's left of the 103kw. If you're planning on doing a manual conversion with your 260 box wouldn't it be better to find a decent 6cyl auto e36? Like a 328i ?

I guess all u can do is go view the car and decide?

Well e36 parts are in abundance and not too expensive I think?

the temp sensor for your guage is lying by the looks. My 540i would get up to 110deg in summer and the guage stayed half way.

Alpina a company with a great racing herritage... Function follows form... Of course

Michael havn't you learned anything about Alpina!? Function always follows form.

yep... I do haha

Not me. haha.

Fair enough hairy muff. Have edited the original post.

Sure that wasn't attributed to the viscous coupling seizing in a locked state?

2x E39 Sport seat lower plastic seat covers. The ones that usually break. Passenger side is brand-new, Drivers side has one piece that is broken off, but can be easily glued back on and it will be secured like new. Black in colour. $70 the lot or $30 each. Identical to these :

Depends if your car was originally spec'd with the board monitor option. If it was then ideally you'd want a 16:9 wide screen monitor but this would still work.
