Sent you a message John. Phil Peterson may have one for sale still.

I picked up a complete M30B35 with 70K on the clock from Brent at BMW world a few months back for a great price. They are cheap motors. Just watch for one locally. There was a 535i for sale on this forum for less than $2k complete with WOF and REGO last week.

Yup around town they are horrid for the size of the motor. Those Auto box's I am sure they sourced from an HQ Holden or something. This is the closest one I could find to my driving City/Highway %. http://www.fuelly.com/car/bmw/318ti/1997/Taku9/241046

Full Spec!!!! Just missing basic stuff like Heated Seats, Professional Nav system, Bi-Xenon lights, anything Motorsport. $10K is still a great buy though.

I did a quick calculation a while back for my E60 530D vs an E60 530i. Around town the diesel was only slightly cheaper. Maybe a 10c per KM cheaper. Open highway and long haul was much much better around half the cost to run a diesel. I looked at other benefits though. Such as towing capacity. If you want to compare two cars have a look at the Fuely website and find the average L/KM for the two vehicles. Tons of much more realistic data on there.

Got one for free once. Even being free I thought it was crap. Left it in car park with the keys in it and windows down. Sat there for about a month. I think you have a case of nostalgia goggles. One ticket for the hate train please.

Hey Bruce. I have two Oil coolers from 325i's. You can have one if you like.

It won't have the front. As Luke was looking for just the front for months.

Sorry mate. Is all sold. I should have updated the post.

Baby sh*t Yellow.

4 Mil into Eroad shares. IPO is beginning of next month 1 Mill to play with. Travel and Toys. No interest in buying a house in Auckland.

You borrowed James drill didn't you. Haha. All that practice on Friday night.

Sorry mate. Was racing in the Endurance Series all weekend. Only around after 6:30pm this week. Flat out busy all other times.

I have one. Couple actually. $40 I am in Torbay on the Shore. Txt me on 0211 88 77 33

Hey mate. I have a manual steering rack. Based in Auckland though and don't have a lot of spare time to organise shipping. $100 and it is yours.

Nice these are great fun. Careful with leaving the brand Tom. You may have to leave European cars altogether to get what you are looking for. Merc, Audi, Porker is all the same and have more expensive parts.

Most ACS cars like M\\\ cars are just modified versions of the mass produced model. That car may well have one or two ACS parts. Often that is enough to have a badge slapped on the back by the dealer. Much like the M\\\ cars. Some ACS cars look to be prepared by ACS themselves. Or under contract to install the parts. These ones are more like Ambers.

Not if they use timing belts. That tech is long gone in the world of BMW's

So how did it go? Good number of people wandering through? How did people react to the scholarship mobile. I was going to come along just to see the BMW stand. But I felt last year that there was a real lack of trade stands. Was more of a static race car display. Of cars I see actually racing.

Have for sale a full set of black leather sports seats from a coupe E30 M325i. Comes with two fronts seats, the two piece rears and both sets of front and rear door cards. Can also have the black A pillar covers if yours does not already have them. The front seats are a little worn. And the drivers seat has a split right on the stitching as shown in the photos. With some effort the seats could be revived pretty well. The back seats are mint and have no wear. The rear seats also have head rests which is not so common. $800 firm. 0211 88 77 33

Find a better example. The only thing cheap about it to me is the price to have the valve stem seals replaced. But the E60 is a great car. Love mine. Superior in every way to my old E39 540 but still keeps that 5 series feeling you had from the E39.

Would just spend the 10K on suspension and widening the body work of my E34. Actually that is prob enough to tube the front end and change all the panels and bumper to fiberglass. I will eventually do something like this to the front of mine.

Right hand drive from Canada? Unlikely unless it was imported to Canada from GB, JP, AU, NZ or SEA.

Good to see Dave. Not long to go now. Hows Stevo's car coming along?

There are some brutal Pot Holes on Oteha Valley road just after the 2nd round about heading from Torbay. The rain had caused them to get quite deep. They have been patched a number of times. Be careful when it rains if you are driving through.
