Get to have a look at the Turbo E21 Alpina too.
-
We need some of the old boys club to get back into it. Priorities seem to have moved from Car's and Cruising to I have to do what I am told.
-
If I was still out East I would be going to Glenn. Always trusted his shops work and advice. On the shore there is huge number of Euro specialists. But I have always had good experiences from Burger at Burgers Motor Works and Ernst at Bavarian Motor Works. Pricing is always fair and the parts are up to standard. And these guys have been in the industry since the E9 was in the showrooms Their are cowboys up this way though. But I don't want to hurt any feelings.
-
Really? Who would that be?
-
Got told no because it doesn't have a sun roof. Haha. Still thinking about it. Would daily it though. Whats the point in a car like that if it sits in the garage.
-
Wow. And Wow at the listing price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-M3-Europameister-E30-M3-Europameister-1-148-with-only-17-274-miles-/321566286487?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4aded82297&item=321566286487&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

Hmm now to convince the Mrs to let me trade for it. Though not a B38.
-
Maybe not then. These ones looked pretty new. Did I replace them? sh*t I can't even remember yesterday. Ah actually I think I got some Evo ones that fit off a mate. They were also EBC yellow. Edit again. Nope the Evo ones are still in a box next to me. Must have been your old ones Haha. sh*t they are still in there too. All falling apart.
-
Haha they fell apart Milan. Crumbled at about 50% to go. Big chunks just fell off and left the backing plate. Same thing happened on my E30 with them. Stopping power and feel is great up to that point. Will PM Amber-Leigh

I must have missed the Hate train that day.
-
Grandma Tits. For some reason I feel white blends all the lines of the E30 into nothing. Never been a fan of white BMW's though. No matter the model. Also don't think white Mercs look any good.

Wow awesome. 4x4 D Class Trials truck BMW V12 5.4L Twin Turbo engine http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/specialist-cars/competition-cars/auction-595782458.htm

You don't need to warm up the HP+ pads. You are not going to come to a stop sign and sail on through on a cold morning. They are just much more effective when hot. There is no harm in running them on the street. You will wear your rotors a bit quicker though. Realistically how much track work are you going to do? And how hard are you going to push? Standing on the brakes after the 100M mark at 200KPH for turn 1 at hampton for 10 laps at 100%? Then the HP+. The stock E46 is a fat car though. With the HP+ you prob won't reach their limits which could give you good peace of mind. I was going to see if I could sneak in a fluid pressure bleeder into your order. But the shipping for it is a joke at $70USD. The item is only $99USD.... Edit: Just realised I pretty much said exactly what Dave said. I just hadn't refreshed the page. Haha
-
Hey have you placed your order already? I have been wanting to get a pressure bleeder from them every time I go to the website.
-
Wow first time that story has ever checked out. Nice.
-
For brake fluid go and see Exedy in Wairau. They also do Elf oils. Motul 600. Don't bother with the 660. Hawk, Endless or Stock for pads. Decent semi track pads in the front and stock in the rear is a good combo. Mintex 1166 will be shot after one race weekend in my old E30. Not enough value for the $. EBC are sh*t. They fell apart in both my E30 and E34. Bushes get from overseas or get them made by Dan Slater. But his will be solid and will need replacing more often. But no movement. See Kayne Barrie for Hawk. See https://www.facebook.com/ENDLESSBrakesNZ Exedy Wairau - 151 Wairau Rd, Glenfield 0627

Ah the old car dealer Drug Runner story. Is it legit or does it fit in with the other 30 odd cars with this story? Unless there is a news article showing the car, it is one story I just nod and smile too.
-
Followed some idiot in a brand new 1 or 2 series convertible to the airport. They were struggling to see in the rain doing 70 on the motorway. Would help if you turned your headlights on.. Another muppet using just the rice rings.
-
Oh sh*t. Been looking for one for a while Dave. But the 3.46 is no good to me. Damn.
-
Function over form mate. You have it right.
-
Did you polish her Crunchy? Haha.
-
Hahaha wow I have never seen such old listings. What a joke.
-
Had a look over a genuine E21 Alpina B7 Turbo today. Is sitting in Burgers Motor Works in Wairau Valley. Awesome looking machine. He was telling me that the owner picked it up for around $10K not going. It is now going and worth much much much more than that. Wouldn't swap for my E60

Word. Get in before the hype or wait till its over. Profit/Save. Like Drifting. Got in before the hype. Got my drift nissans for bugger all. Sold them with much much drift tax once the hype started. Stuck with the dumb user name and number plate though.
