Lol about time, how long ago did u try that

Retrimmed parcel tray and discovered I hate spotlight palmy, f**king useless spent an hour sifting through fabric as it was all over the placebetter then the light purple finish it was

I've seen them on many a car back in 90/00's fiestas, novas (not Chevy novas, vauxhal novas)

Naa mate be real for palmy I should rock the whale tail

Someone should ask to test the glass out, could be fun

Sweet as would prefer it to go to a good home, was gonna pm you see if you were interested as I knew you were looking for a wagon but thought I'd throw it out in the open

Needs to be re registered, total cost of this should be around $750 that's for the test, plates and licencing fees for a year I think 99 523 auto oxford green, sand leather interior, motor has done 197k Looking for $3000 so at say 4k total cost it's a extremely cheap touring

Lol does he need any more cars

So if I should list my lapsed rego 99 523 touring for 20k it is green with sand leather and even has a m badge so it's pretty rare

I Don't know lol I wana drive the sh*t out of it though, wonder if someone would want the touring as is ?

Well bar a final clean she's all ready to go for re licensing, would have gone already but they couldn't fit it in . New springs, rotors, pads, battery, fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, oil , oil filter, re coloured leather, wood replaced with brushed steel vinyl, shadowlined and removed the 540i badge probably a few other things I've forgotten Looks a little odd in the front because tires need pumping up still have newly polished headlights to fit but that will wait until the last moment lol keep them looking pretty, you may notice the real project car sitting next to it looking sad

What pads did u choose in the end? I was surprised the 540s only ran single pot calipers

Decided as no one wanted to buy the 540's lowering springs, to put them to good use and install them, not an overly fun job as anyone that's done a e39 will tell you

Will sell a lot in San Francisco then

Meh once you've driven a vtec mini you've seen them all, lol. Fiberglass flip front makes for easy access, personally conversion is just an off the shelf now we've ( the mini community) been doing b conversions for some 12+ years now, amazing in a straight line but and a big but for me it felt bad through the twisty bits, first time I've felt like I couldn't drive a mini as quickly as it wanted to go. Bike engined conversions were just starting to come into the scene when I exited(moved to nz) have seriously considered the bike engine route but will probably just stay with the a series engines I know

As far as lowering with edc I called a couple of places and did a lot of looking into it for my 540 places I called and research said no

Good on you, guessing new owner will really look after it as they paid more then the asking, not very often that happens

I need to win lotto http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/e30/auction-674817916.htm

Lol they are a hideous banana shaped car, but in a honesty f**k that sh*t, could you be bothered to clean it every day. Well you could always get it vinyled to look like this Well f**k me some has even made polish for it

All new rotors and pads turned up for the 540 today, job for tomorrow fit them

Would the timing chain guide make a clicking noise when due for replacement

I have no issue with the colour quite like it but the black and silver interior is not pretty

Saw this in the flesh the other day, let me say the photos don't do it any justice at all. Looks even worse in real life

Put new fuel pump, new battery and spark plugs in the 540, begged it to start and after a little hesitation it did and idled perfectly. Plugged in code reader picked up a p100 air flow/mass sensor issue, cleared it and it came straight back, so next part to get replaced I guess. Took it for a drive up and down the drive way, was really tempted to go 300meters down the road round the round about and back but I didnt

Tbh I need that stuff I'm smoking keeps me alive. love to say find a 540 Motorsport manual wagon but good luck, I'd never buy a diesel but wouldn't mind a go In one that's been chipped and a bigger turbo as I said it'd have some grunt for a tractor
