One for the 'tell him he's dreaming file'
Driftit replied to balancerider's topic in TradeMe discussions
Would rather the one with a cage for $25K. Then you have $35K to spend on restoring it if you wanted to. -
The site is hosted by Ray. But still owned by Ollie and Andrew I think. Andrew is more active than Ollie these days. [email protected] https://bimmersport.co.nz/profile/1521-andrew/

This is quite a crap change about to take place. I have actually benefited from the BPC program quite a bit since it has been running. It is when you Buy something and within 14days that item then goes on sale you get the difference credited to your account. As Supercheap has sales nearly as often as Briscoes it resulted in a bit of credit on the account each time I went in. e.g. You buy oil at $100. Sale is 50% off the following weekend. You get $50 added to your account. They are ditching BPC and going to a crappy $5 credit for every $100 spent.

Have you tried replacing the horn relay? If it is going off all the time at random and that is not being caused by the horn button/steering wheel part of the circuit then it could be a faulty relay. You can test the relay or see if there is similar one you can swap it with to test.

Swapping 6hp21 into a pre LCI e61 with 6hp19
Driftit replied to That_Bimmer123's topic in General Discussion
Found it. https://bavautoparts.com/blogs/builds/retrofitting-a-6hp21-into-a-2006-330i Can't imagine it will be too different. Still going from a 19 to a 21. -
Awesome. I had an MZ10 as my first car back in 1996 through 2003. Didn't know what I had back then. Factory 2.8GT manual with LSD and lots of rust.
-
Oh didn't even see that. App didn't notify me.
-
Funnily enough I've had just as much trouble with 6hp19's as I have with the GMs. I've seen info for the 21 swap somewhere. Probably bimmerforums .
-
Welcome. What box does it have in it at the moment. 6hp19? Or were the E6* unlucky enough to get the GM box like the 130's? Edit: ignore. Just saw your other post haha.

Part Two
-
Nice one. I posted your first vid here a while back. Just spotted the Soarer in your vid. Awesome cars. I miss my MZ10 a lot. I looked them up in Japan recently, cried a little, then purchased another 130i instead.
-
No I meant my pre-LIC manual one. Has it too. But the car is 100% stock otherwise.
-
I was wondering what you meant by the oil temp gauge. Then I realised my blue pre-LCI doesn't have one. But my manual pre-LCI and auto LCI do. Someone must have swapped in a LCI cluster into the manual at some stage in its life? That billet DSSR with a shifter kit would match the single mass flywheel in my car so well.

For my E30 race car I used a rubberised spray anywhere that was exposed. And a CRC seal for everywhere that I thought may harbor moisture. I tried brushing it but it looked terrible and took way too long. If you have to do it this way I would say roll it. I was spraying on jack stands in a single garage at the time. Just had to get a big fan to ventilate the place.

I'm Dan. I think I met him when he came back from Europe. Long time ago now.
-
Oh yeah I met him once or twice when I flatted with Leon. Such a small world.
-
Saw that post earlier. The comments included a few of the past owners too.
-
The rear could be different and the spring rate could be too hard. Is your husband Leon Scott by chance?

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
Driftit replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
I am pretty sure my mate built this car in 2011. But it was grey and a manual. The kid that purchased it crashed it and then repainted it. -
Welcome back. I think your old man got me into importing cars like 25 years ago. The E82 is a great platform for some fun. They cross over with the E87's a lot so there is plenty of info on here.
-
I will pay more attention to them but I can't say I've ever heard it. The E55 does all sorts of things when you open a door. Pumps prime, air suspension fills, EBC primes. Might be too use to it. Terracotta interior looks great. Feels a little more premium.
-
How long are we talking? I haven't noticed that. One of mine wasn't driven for a month. Seems like a strange thing to do.

You would have company. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/5241867107 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/5255382885 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/130i/listing/5255640672 -
This is so far off the actual M2. Not even the same number of cylinders. There has been plenty of BMW spec cars in the past. Why slap the M2 on there this time. The 1M is a 1M. Chonk 135i. I do love them though. But I will stick to the no S not M. AMG. Not hand built. Not AMG. (This one angers the A class owners).
-
Why is it designated an M2. When it is not. No S motor not an M car.
