  1. Just installed mine into my E90 on the weekend

    ******* love it! The GPS and touch screen are quick to respond, the bluetooth music and phone works well and the OBD app is awesome (I had just replaced a faulty water pump/thermostat so this function helps monitor the different temps).

    Hardest part was running the microphone and the navigation antennas down the A pillar and behind the glovebox. That took me about 2 hrs of twisting my hand behind the glovebox while wiggling the cord up and down to see if I could grab it, but finally got it after I took a break to relax a bit :P

    The rest of it was done in maybe 15-20 mins.

    I purchased it from Autogravity, but will probably get them to install a reverse camera for me.


  2. hi guys, came across this one while looking for a new ride.

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-875983720.htm

    Got in contact with the dude said he'd take 13.5 for it as lowest price. I was going to get a check done on it then get it shipped up here, but found an E90 323i Msport on a nice deal instead, but figured i'd chuck this up here so others could possibly take a look.

    Seems like a hell of a deal for the money (provided nothings wrong).


  3. HI all,

    Just wondering if anyone here knows someone that could hook a brother up with a muffler delete for my E39 540i Msport.

    Don't really want to spend a bunch of cash on exhaust work, but just want to be able to hear the V8 under the hood.

    I've heard a lot of people say get a good tone and no exhaust drone if they just delete the muffler and leave the resonators etc in.

    Location is Grey Lynn, Auckland


  4. PM'd ya Dkonsta1, hopefully we can sort something out for tomorrow.

    I just bit the bullet and bought one on ebay so will get that in a few weeks, will probably be good to have n the kit for more DIY's as it seems like that would have to come off for a few jobs.


  5. Hi guys,

    Just got myself a 540i and the fan clutch is stuck.

    I have a replacement lined up but need the tool to provide the counter pressure so I can take it off.

    I have the 32mm spanner but not other tool (looks like this)

    If anyone has one in Auckland that I could borrow for a few mins/hours that would be sweeeet.

    I could bring you a couple of beers as a thanks.

    The DIY seems pretty easy (as long as you have the right tools!)


  6. Good on you. In regards to the fan clutch before you change it check with bmw. They are all making this noise in the m62tu engines. Maybe no need to change it.

    Cheers mate, I tried the "cardboard test" and almost lost my hand in the process! So looks like the fan clutch is stuck engaged/sticking (the fan should be able to stop spinning on a cold engine with a thick bit of paper/cardboard and only engange when it's hot)

    Got a PM from Brent and got some prices so will be picking up tomorrow.


  7. Hi guys,

    Looking for one of these that is functioning properly. Just picked up a 2000 540i the other day and it sounds like a jet taking off on low rpm so just want that sound to go away.

    Also my INPA shows a camshaft sensor fault, so if someones got one of those aswell that would be sweet,

    Im in Grey Lynn so Auckland pickup would be awesome so let me know what prices you want.

    Cheers.


  8. Hi all I have a set of these for sale.

    Here a pic of one of them... They hold tyre pressure fine and should have enough tread for a warrant. 1x is missing the center cap.

    Looking for $400 (as no trademe fees to worry about etc)

    pickup from Grey Lynn

    Can confirm tyre size later but think they're 8" wide mags and 230/40/18 tyres

    Cheers
