I can give you a hand at work

Send me an email.

Hi,

I'm keen on the drivers side door card if its still available!

Thanks,

Andrew

I'm assuming you're going to use Navcoder?

Making a cable is quite easy... I've made one for myself. Let me know if you're desperate.

Anyone selling their ibus cable so I can get tv in motion?

Its likely that a wire has fallen off the sender...

Remove the sender unit and crimp the wire back on should fix it.

Hi my bmw owners, sorry but have a slight problem with my e36 2.8i. the fuel gauge ,has all of a sudden stopped working, and it now shows empty . i am assuming 1 of the sender units have packed up .Also if i buy a new 1 are they both the same, could i use it to replace either 1 . Any info would be gratefully received . Andy

Did anyone else notice that the "manho" is overheating with the EML on other than me??

The fuel cap of my NZ New 330, states 91-98 RON.

However, I've tried half a tank of 91, pinged a bit, so i filled up the rest with 95 the next day - much better.

I'm looking for the reset pins on the instruments cluster. Would be keen if you have a broken instrument cluster for me to strip down

I stupidly broke those fragile 3 legged pins / buttons inside my instruments cluster while cleaning. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement without buying a whole new instruments cluster?

Hi Guys,

Just noticed this car sold quite quickly on trademe for 17k, did someone on here buy it http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=360323570? Was wondering which cars more "valuable" between mine and his...

Mines a 01, 330CI Motorsport, NZ New, Manual, Full leathers, Xenons, 83km in Schwarz.

I'm contemplating about selling mine later this year, would be good to know the market price.

Cheers!

You can adjust the door latch.

Open your door and pull out the big rubber boot below the glass. There should be an allen head screw there which you could adjust if I remember correctly.

Its been i while since i last played with mine so i can't remember exactly - but let me know if you need pics or something.

Cheers

Hi,

I'm in the process of changing my shifter to a short shifter on my E46 coupe. I've disconnected the shifter from the lower shift selector rod, but I'm having trouble removing cup and ball bushing from my shifter.

I've read different articles telling me to rotate it clock wise or anti clockwise, i've tried both, but its still stuck

Does anyone know which is the correct direction to spin it from inside the cabin?

Cheers,

Andrew

Damn. Hard luck mate. Hope the guy who did it doesnt get away with it!

Hey Thanks Glenn & Lucan

I had a great one. Sadly, i was still at work during the day haha.

did u get it sorted. basicly there is a cheat for this that does not involve leaving a naked blub tied up under the bonnet,that can rub onto wires plastic etc and can over heat. the trick is basicly a resistor and only costs a few pence, and the meathod is to solder it in between the positive and return just infront of the bulb holder and that feeds the correct resistance back to the lcm and tricks it to thinking all is ok.

the only bad thing is that if the led side light fails you wont be told on your dash,but leds last for years and years so u should be good.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

What resistance would you use? Would this be a high power resistor?

Thanks,

Andrew

Have you tried taking it to a tyre shop? My local one is quite happy to take them...i think they use it for re-treads.

Its actually very common and very cheap and easy to fix, just get it taken off and sprayed again. We get it done quite a bit...

What would you paint it with? I've seen it done with this stuff called Plasti-dip, but I don't like the tacky surface it leaves behind.

Possibly one of the drive linkages has been popped off or the wiring has been damaged... let them sort it for you

Thanks Glenn. Sorted now, was the wiring.

Cheers

Hi,

Just had some panel work done on my E46 door, and the wing mirror was taken off in the process. Now I've got the car back and the mirror won't swivel left / right, however it works fine tilting up and down.

Would anyone know what could be wrong?

(Yes I will bring it back to the panel beaters if I can't sort it out easily myself)

Thanks

Andrew

Yep, pic of mine as attached, definitely has the power of a 330

Arrr I see. I got confused with M-Specs post.

Thats a fabulous looking car! Well done. I would vote for the 330i no M badge option

Are you sure your car is a 330? By the looks of the exhaust pipes, its a 320.

Hi guys,

Recently, my e36 323i has developed a vibration from the rear wheel when performing a low speed turn.

It is intermittent, I seem to notice it most when driving slowly for example going through a round about, and it seems to happen when I am turning left (I think).

The vibration feels a bit like something is grinding.

Anyone has similar experience and ideas about what the problem could be?

thanks!

I've got a set in black, less the drivers one for a coupe. Would it suit?

Hi Peter,

You can buy an AUX-in cable which will plug into the back of your existing radio from the BMW Dealer. This cable is quite simple to make if you're looking to save a few dollars.

See http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=21706 for details.

No. It has the standard factory CD+Radio. any ideas?

If you are dead serious, I could be selling mine.

2001 330 CI, NZ New Motorsport, Schwarz II, MANUAL, 80km, full sports leather interior, xenon lamps.

But the price will reflect on how rare this car is... send me a PM if you're serious, and willing to offer some real $$.
