Hi, thought id introduce my self.
I have been looking through all the bimmersport forums trying to weigh up the options of what car to purchase, and a decided on a 1996 323i coupe auto.
Being a jap import im aware that it has the dredded jatco gearbox, however it is my plan to save up for a manual conversion.
I have read in a forum post somewhere recommending a good place to take it to (for a manual conversion) in auckland, however i cant for the life of me find it now... so any ideas?
The car drives amazingly, this is my first BMW and i now know what Ive been missing!
However, the only little thing Ive noticed in the last couple days of owner ship is my temp gauge, it sits a couple mm past the middle line. It is constantly at this point... Any ideas? Is this normal? Where does everyone elses gauge sit?
Cheers, I will upload some pics as soon as I get a chance
