Hey guys, thanks heaps for all the information!

I'll pop the fuse out tomorrow and see if it helps, but I think I'll get a new battery this weekend anyway.

Cheers!

Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone knows roughly what the correct current draw from the battery when the car is off?

I've been having to jump start my car every morning, but before I replace the battery, I want to make sure that its not something else...

Measuring with an ammeter, I got roughly. 0.15mA - Does this sound normal? - By pulling out all the fuses, I found that 0.1mA is from the "cabin".

This is a 91 Subbie Leggy.

Be great if someone could let me know whats the normal current draw!

Cheers, Andrew.

Hi there,

I have an 1996 E36 323i Automatic. Lately I noticed the ABS light in the dash is staying on.

I am not too sure what is causing it. I have taken off and cleaned all the shaft encoders on each wheel, but that has not resolve the problem.

I think my next step is to try swapping the ABS relay. Does anyone here have any ideas/experience/suggestions?

Please let me know!

cheers!

I personally don't like any bit of it. Rotarys are cool, but just not on an e36...

I'm surprised no ones mentioned that the front bumper is of a different shade of black compared to the rest of the car?

hmm, could someone please start a poll regarding what bimmersport thinks of the verdict - I don't know how to

I'll be interested in seeing how many people reckon hes guilty or not.

Hi guys,

Recently I came across this website (http://www.tradecarview.com) where you can directly import cars from Japan. Has anyone got any experience with this?

I'm interested in getting a E39 (525 / 528 / 530) M-Sport, but it seems like a lot of the dealers here in NZ don't stock them anymore - is this due to the change in import laws? The prices quoted here on this site seems pretty cheap - obviously there are additional costs, but I'm not too sure what they are.. haha

Are there anyway to tell whether cars are "registerable" in NZ?

Cheers,

Andrew

Voted! Bimmersport FTW!

Hi there,

I have an E36, currently with 225/50/16 tyres.

I am just wonder if its possible for me to fit tyres of other width on it? For example 205/50/16? I know that depending on what I put on my odometer and speed reading will be a little off ... but If its like under 5% I don't really think it matters too much. I just really want to know if I bought a set of say 205s if I can actually fit them on to my wheel?

cheers!

I reported that as a possible fraud to trademe.

It was taken down within a few hours with the seller's account "kris190" disabled.

This is a genuine white top taillight with bulbs and holders. Near perfect condition. Would be very handy to have spare if your light is cracked or leaks. Cheers

$50ono

Is this 4dr or coupe? I really need one for a 4 dr drivers side in particular :-(

Hi, I have 4 x brand new Direzzas (DZ 101) for sale size 185 / 60 / 14. Brand new with sticker. Was going to put it on my work car, but in need of cash at the moment.

Looking for $399 ono for all 4, pick up in Auckland.

Cheers.

O for real? I'm at Healthcare!

Hey welcome! Where abouts do you work? (I'm a design engineer too!)

Hi there,

I have a pre-face lift e36 using the old grills, and I am wondering what parts would I need to upgrade it so I can use the face lift grills? And how much would it cost?

thanks

heaps

How much treads are left on the tyres? A lil hard to tell by the picture.

I have a set of E36 16" Motorsport wheels with Dunlop Direzza tyres, can talk if you are keen.

cheers.

Looking for the pulley on the drive belt tensioner: Part No. 11287841228

as well as a couple of Deflection pulley, which is on the alternator and the AC Belt Tensioner Part No. 11281748131

Basically no. 15 and no.6 on this link (just in case I got the terminology wrong..)

Does anyone have new ones or decent 2nd hand ones for sale? And How much?

Very interesting story!

Just out of curiosity, was this policeman a younger or older aged man?

I ll try and bring it in on Tuesday afternoon.

"Probably too much"

Thats not good! O well.. I ll bring it in for a quote at least ... then can go from there. Might even have to leave the car with u for a day .. since everytime I drive it in .. it stops squeaking ...

Thanks.

Hi mate, how much treads left on the tyres?

Ooops.. sorry Tony that was meant to be a reply

This still applies though

????

Hey Glen, how much would you charge for the job, parts and labour?

o real... :-(

I was hoping to do this myself....

Hmm.. any ideas how it costs to get them replaced?

I think BMW told me the parts is like 50 bux for the idler and 140 for the tensioner or vice versa...

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone has experience with taking off the fan on an E36?

I want to do this, because I am hoping to replace the tensioner and idler pulley. But cannot do so unless I take off the fan.

Any advise would be much appreciated!

cheers!

hmm.... according to carjam, that number plate belongs to a Z3. Weird? (I was just carjaming out of curiosity btw!)

Possibly the outlet holes got blocked by wax? Happens to mine every time I wax my car.
