Yeah that is what I did. Garage PC.

Yep market it as a cheap Fortnight machine.

Bavarian Motorworks was my choice on the Shore. Ernst the owner is a mass of knowledge. He helped with the BMW race series for many years. They are just in the Wairau Valley. https://www.bavarianmotors.co.nz/ Also many businesses won't be back until Monday. Xmas holidays.

Yeah with all the goodies you guys have I would bump it up for sure. Those intakes alone a worth a mint. I have been looking for a manual 135i for the Mrs. And they have all but disappeared. These cars are def on the popular list at the moment.

So I ordered some stuff from Bimmergeeks. Now they are in Georgia, USA. This little dongle now has a massive carbon footprint. Read bottom to top. Interesting considering parts I ordered from ECS in Ohio arrived in 3 days and only had one stop. I honestly thought this one was lost when it went from Georgia to Florida to NJ.

I think I'm at 11k. But looking around there isn't much to replace it with.

Cool. I looked at it a few months back. My eyes glassed over and I gave up. I want to space the rear of my E87 out just a few mm. I am not looking forward to certifying the Mrs 200sx. It all sounds like a nightmare these days.

I'm holding off until I move into the new place later this year. A friend has one of the Oklahoma Joe's and it is so easy and the result is amazing. @*Glenn* was smoking some nice stuff a few years back.

No I love that. Drum smokers are amazing for stable temps. So efficient on fuel too.

Oklahoma joe bronco + your Webber. No need for coal.

Just bringing this post back to the front page for good. Pinned.

I really hope so Peter. I went from not suggesting them to people to actively telling people to avoid them. Will give them a chance and see if Continental sorts them out.

Yup it helped. Restored. It was deleted when I deleted a spam post from my mobile which somehow deleted the entire thread even though that's under the mod section only.

Can you remember who created it? I can't find it anywhere. And I dug deep.

@balancerider yeah same staff who have no interest in second hand BMWs.

Oh you could have shopped for a new MG after looking at all the new BMW's. Winger BMW is now Continental Cars. Chinese MG's alongside BMW's. Nice to hear other BMW dealerships are more realistic though.

Should have met up. Could have helped me change all the coolant hoses. 😑

Is it possible to take further leave? Sick leave maybe? The first few weeks of returning to work can be stressful on its own due to how busy most companies can be.

Yeah I would never fly that distance in the US. We had a rule that if the drive was less than 8 hours on a normal weekend we would drive. DC to Detroit takes the same amount of time as Auckland to Wellington. But is 230kms further. And that is on roads that are not that straight and through the Blue ridge mountains.

I miss the highways in the US so much. Smooth. Straight. Quiet. Drove from DC to Austin, TX (25hrs of driving) in my E46 and I only stopped because I got bored at night time. I just drove to Wellington from Masterton and back and I feel beat. See below. Forced to go through small towns x 3 at 50kph Chip seal nearly the entire way which is brutal noisy Followed a truck and a horse float up the Remutaka's at 20-30kph Windy shitty blind corners Single lane the entire way to Wellington means passing is a waste of time The motorway in Wellington has f**king traffic lights in the middle of it. In multiple locations....Utter madness.

I just gather a whole heap of old crap from work to chuck on my ride on. It will now provide live data and map my mow pattern. Using my race cars old 10hz GPS for accurate location. Talk about waste of time. But I bet if I live streamed me mowing the lawn on twitch people would watch.

FL or PFL. PFL ones are generic and could be picked up cheap a few years back.

Try Brent @ BMW world. He should have what you need.

3080ti shouldn't be too far away.

Kayne is amazing. Always supported me whilst I was racing in the BMW series. If he is unable build the engine he will point you in the right direction. He has built a number of gearboxes and diffs for me over the years. As for your M30. I would recommend upgraded valve springs and some locking collars. Also convert the oil pump sprocket nut to a bolt. You won't get significant gains from the motor. It is a bit of lazy lump. Most of us go down the turbo route. There is still some good parts available from VAC Motorsports. https://store.vacmotorsports.com/categories.aspx?keyword=m30 However the only reason I have upgraded at all was because I was going down the turbo hole. Otherwise I would not have bothered. I never had any issues at all whilst racing my stock M30 with some headers, an intake and a conversion to MAP with a piggyback MAPECU2. Gearbox syncros were a nightmare though. I inherited some worn syncros when I purchased the car. Kayne can help you here though.
