    isnt this what they call the "ZHP" model/package/spec?

    Essentially yes but there are a few subtle differences as far as I can tell between this (NZ new 330i fl msport) and the US ZHP which has:

    175kw (different cams and slightly higher redline iirc)

    Red cluster needles

    330i badge on bootlid

    Suede shifter boot and steering wheel

    Be good to know if there are any other differences.

    Mine also has the tape business radio and no xenons... And mine will become a manual one day, unfortunately only a 5 speed as I cant justify the extra $$$ for a sixth gear i will hardly ever use...

    Hi

    Bought the car with the below little doofer fitted and cable dangling from just above the rearviewmirror so was wondering whether anyone can tell me more about it ie. what's missing, can i just get the missing bit etc

    The lights dont light up but something beeps every now and again but cant tell whether its the Beltronics or the Sony Erickson handsfree kit :(

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Hi

    Did a quick search but couldnt find anything...

    Looking at getting an aux input for my e46 factory stereo and stumbled across this ( http://www.anycarlink.com/Product.asp ) and quite like the idea of being able to skip tracks etc using the steering wheel controls.

    Question is, does it with the e46's delete the changer and/or are there any alternatives out there that anyone has had success with?

    Cheers

    Thanks Richard, will message him.

    Not in a rush to sell but it's better off being driven and not just sitting in the garage (and will fund my manual conversion).

    Hope the asking price is reasonable considering some of the other 328i's on trademe...

    thanks guys

    but after much deliberation i decided to sell the style 5's as it seems the worse the fitment, the better they look (if you know what i mean)

    so i'm rather sticking with the contours or now

    deleted the airbox baffle and threw in a flat panel hi-flow filter this weekend so it's got a bit more growl and is actually a bit lighter on fuel

    then it's off for a service tomorrow and if all goes well, i'll be installing the dobi front springs i bought today, over the weekend

    @ CSET, there is still a honda in the family and there always will be

    found another set of wheels that i just have to have so checking whether anyone's keen on my Style 5's

    BBS/BMW 2-piece Style 5's

    17x7.5 +41

    All in great condition with two having had their lips re-polished (one was repaired, second done to match)

    will have hi-res pics of all 4 in the next few days

    looking for $650

    let me know if you're interrested

    thanks for the welcome and compliments

    i wanted to get one for less than $4k so that after the manual conversion it would have cost less than $6k but because of the spec, mileage and colour i decided to pay quite a bit more and that was even without viewing the car!

    i had a friend in wellington look at it and bought it thinking that it wouldnt quite be up to my standards but was quite pleasantly surprised at how tidy it was when i picked it up

    needs the hoodlining replaced, panel below the bootlid resprayed (bit of rust) and a good cut and polish but other than that it's pretty mint

    would like to get rid of the boot spoiler though so will either get it removed and the lid resprayed or hopefully find a tidy spoiler-less montrael blau lid from a wrecker...

    would also like to find some 8.5" M-Contours for the rear or failing that, get some other oem or bbs 18's

    it's quite sluggish when it comes to the start and stop daily commuting but it's enjoyable to drive on the open road and i'm sure i will enjoy it alot more once it's manual

    anyone keen on a tidy honda to fund my manual conversion? haha

    hi guys

    new member and first time bmw owner here.

    used to admire bmw's from the late 80's and 90's when i was a teen but somehow never ended up buying one.

    got into my hondas and toyotas and somehow only ten years later, have i finally bought one of my boyhood favourites, an e36 sedan.

    it's a 328i auto at the moment but once iv'e done the manual conversion (couldnt find any manual sedans) and a few other bits 'n pieces i'll be looking forward to taking it down to hampton downs for a few laps every now and again.

    anyway, any good places on the shore (apart from bmw) for servicing bmw's and that also have the right tools to reset the service computer thingamajigger etc?

    cheers
