Last update before I start to consider TM offers (eek!)?

Argh sorry my bad!

Hey again Karun! On a related note to your swap ideas, I finally settled on an M54B30 swap. Just didnt think the M30 (of any type) was worth the effort. Got close a couple of times on going the M30 route though. Engine and gearbox are at Auto38 now, just awaiting some space for him to start the swap!

Yeah but then could have just got a premade harness and ECU online from a tuner that knows this stuff. I bought a setup from Redline Motorsport in the US. Shipped in 2 weeks, all wires marked and EWS and rear O2s removed from ECU. Plug and Play. http://www.redline-motorsport.com/main/page_e30_adapters.html E21, E28, E30, E36 The LS is obviously a great engine, but its not an interesting swap.

I think that one is priced more correctly than the other (as nice as it is).

Any offers?

Im still not following? Why would a common as muck (in Europe) 330d be worth GBP12k? That and the 520/530d are the most common BMW's (and therefore cars) in Ireland (and presumably UK) and super cheap. https://www.donedeal.ie/cars?words=330d&sort=price asc There are Alpina diesels, which I get might be desirable but the normal ones? My parents sold their much more interesting 535d E61 for like EUR6000 3years ago.

Still available!

Now on Trade Me with new images: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/listing/2824169586?ed=true&bof=a2RjZMsr

Apparently mine has play in it, teeth sheered maybe. Part 1 here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=4142-EUR-03-1983-E28-BMW-525i&diagId=32_0395 Part: 32311153049

I decided to keep them and sell them separately, so still available, off car ready to go!

Sold, thanks!

So bit of an odd scenario! Bought these new a year ago from Europe. Put them in my E28, worked fine but got a shake in the front end which turned out to be the upper strut mounts, the bearing came loose on both sides! I had badly buckled (twice repaired..) wheels on it at the time, mechanic thinks that caused the problem. Anyhow my mechanic thought the shocks have sideways play in them so I bought new ones (went for the B8's instead).. but the thing is, these look like new to me. Have no obvious play in the either. I rang the disti here and they can rebuild them (but like $300 a side or something) or could be a good option for a track car or diy rebuild, or just give them a shot. I can send them back to Germany for a warranty replace at my expense, so they have some value to me, but thought Id ask here first. Looking for $100 for both.

I dont think these suit the E28, but are a nice wheel. Ive brokered a trade against something older, but just incase anyone here wants to buy them outright at $750 (Or very near offer), let me know. I bought both the wheels and tyres in the last 2 weeks: Wheels, with new M badges and BMW centre caps: Fitted and balanced with tyres (not separating!): Can deliver around Wellington area. $750 (Or very near offer), would need this sorted before the weekend, else Ill just part trade them against the wheels I want.

Still available? if so pm me a price to Wellington. Any idea which electric fan fits it?

I'll get back to you mid week next week if still available, just sorting out some other bits this week!

Surprisingly reasonably priced, good photos, GLWS!

Can you post to Wellington (at my expense)?

No problem, fire away, probably wasted on me as nothing else in the car will be firmed up to track standard!

EDIT: Actually these might be too harsh for street use? Better for a track car?

FYI Im also looking for a M5x compatible manual gearbox plus bits (for a M54B30) transplant.

I'm putting one into an e28! Yo make it easier I'm getting premade engine mounts for any m5X in the e28 (from e28goodies, e30 versions exist) and also a plug and play ECU plus custom harness to allow easy install: http://www.redline-motorsport.com/main/page_e30_adapters.html You will also need m52 exhaust manifolds.

Bought accidentally from MyAutomotive in NZ but due to their draconion return policy it makes more sense for me to sell here for less than pay them $50 to return an unopened item. My loss is your gain. This is both front suspension upper mounts, in this case its a bearing and spring perch integrated together. Unlike MyAutomotive however, I can make this way easier to ensure its the correct part by listing the OEM part number this replaces: OEM PN: 31331134096 This fits: +518i M40 +518i M43 +520i M20 +520i M50 +524td M21 +525i M20 +525i M50 +530i M30 +530i M60 +535i M30 +540i M60 +M5 3.6 S38 See here: http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/31331134096 $160 for the pair, postage around NZ lets say $10.

Already got the engine, seems like any of the M5x gearboxes will mount up to it. Also: Need to swap my 16" tyres onto new wheels as these ones still arent straight apparently even after repair work on them! Would like something that looks decent on an E28. Needs to be around 20mm offset (ET20), 7-8" wide.
