Kodachrome

Unexpectedly we might be moving a bit sooner than I thought and my classic e28 has been far more daily competent than I thought it would.. So the big 7 does not get the road time to justify it sitting there! Lots of details in advert, genuinely an amazing and rare car: https://www.trademe.co.nz/3603075905 Would entertain offers here, asking $38k on Trade Me, which vs pricing on the older E65 seems legit. I also can supply the android mirocast unit to share phone to those rear screens.

Think its around single 57mm on both inlet and outlet sides. Just 5mths old, I swapped it for a new OEM one as I thought this was a little too noisey with my engine swap. In great condition and has a handly flange on it already. Likely fits similar vintage BMWs to the e28 (ie E30 and E24 also). Hangers already attached too. Comes with the chrome single to twin tip adapter I put on (you can sell or use that if you want). Location: Wellington Price: $100 Photos: Attached

I have the DME from my M54B30, think it came from a 2000 530i. I lost out (time limited offer..) on getting it part exchanged for a unit I got modified, so for the same $75 anyone here can have it.

On the cheapness of E63's, I like them too, but they are basically E60's with 2 less door. Price wise, they are similar, so I wouldn't really say they are so cheap, just in the old but not retro cool car-lifecycle limbo period.

I had my Audi S8 D2 (4.2l V8, like the one in Ronin) converted to LPG. Retained the petrol tank so had both but the LPG gave way less range (like <200km or something). Mostly worked fine though at the time people said the V10's and the like would be terrible conversions as LPG is a "dry" fuel and causes all sorts of problems in high HP/high RPM applications. I also converted my Audi Allroad 2.7 Twin Turbo to run e85 with big injectors and fuel pump. It was greaty improved by the conversion though the range also sucked. Sadly e85 died out though.. industry just needed the algae conversion method perfected to get away from the food stock crisis concern..

Don't know about the car, but had a positive buying experience buying from that seller (Eyrewell Forest Motor Company). Got my 760Li off him.

Designed by me and printed on my big FDM printer! M54 conversion is all done and road legal! Just need a quieter exhaust and lower ratio diff and it will be perfect (lol, well, you know..).

What are you putting it in to? You can buy the filters for $100, the housing is the pricey bit. Im prob the only one with a diy Eventuri on an e28..

Sold!

My listing, I bought 6 of these and stupid shipping delays meant I had sold the car before getting them! https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/electrics/listing/3507852655?ed=true&bof=3ePjcxTY Part Number BMW: 12138616153 Part Number Delphi: GN10571 Fits tons of BMW and Mini models! Located in Wellington, asking $50 each but would do $45 each for BimmerSport members, which is a total steal!

As KwS, kinda yes, but its more a close relation than the literal engine dropped in.

I guess my E28 is considered a CSL then too?

Yeah.. Looks legit like a competitor, the grille really is holding most of the brands identity!

Thanks, sent them an email yesterday.

Shipping a whole diff would be a bit $$ when it's not really that specalist a task! I'd love to buy a complete unit in NZ tho!

Looking at getting a new diff for my e28 (with M54 swap) and the price to import a complete unit, remanufactured ($4k) or even well used ($2k) is too high. Want a taller diff with LSD. So was looking at getting the following from DiffLab.co.au: https://www.difflab.com.au/products/bmw-188mm-diff-rebuild-kit https://www.difflab.com.au/products/bmw-188mm-210mm-differential-bolt-set https://www.difflab.com.au/products/bmw-188mm-lsd-4-clutch-2-way-45-45 https://www.difflab.com.au/products/bmw-188mm-ring-pinion-293 And then getting someone to gut and build into my existing housing. Ive swapped a Ring and Pinion before with some help and didnt find it a fun experience. ( 😛 ) so would rather get someone competent to do it, ideally just hand them the car and get it swapped. Any recommendations in the general Wellington area?

Didn't end up using them for my m54 project. Stubby, tubular type. Price $150 plus postage. Located in : Wellington

I think Mercedes and Audi are doing a better job of integrating display's, BMW have taken a bit of a clinical approach. I was thinking of the Etron before we got the Tesla, would be interested to see how it compares to the iX.

I'll have to look again, I checked it for something as simple as the Maf swap and found it gave 3 conflicting replacement guides, all labeled 760li!

I got access to the NewTIS Repair guides but not finding them as good as the older BMW manuals. Is the workshop manual different? A link top download would be amazing!

Ah yes, the infamous stratification wheel, its caught me out before, sadly though in this case I had it set to Hot already. I agree the Heater Valve is probably the issue, but Water Pump is more a scheduled maintenance concern!

Aka the 2009 F02 760Li. Its great, but I just had a poke around the engine bay... man these things are crammed and alien looking! I can see some minor weepy plastics and lines for the cooling system but I cannot see: - MAFs ( I change these on every car I buy thats like 100k+ km) - Aux Pump (interior vents dont blow hot air..) - Water Pump - 3rd water pump, for turbos Man it goes though, such a fantastic car to drive and be in.

I had to double check the dates on this thread! So 2009. 😛 If fuel costs are covered, why are you getting a diesel? Apart from the fact you introduce swirl flaps, turbo issues etc, you also get an inferior sound and drive and dump toxins like NOx all over country. I think they have their uses, but this moderate, expenses paid commute doesnt seem like one.

Did Ryan in Brisbane follow through? I know from selling cars here with interest from Oz that even with best intentions it's a painful and expensive process on their side that frequently ends up with them bailing.

True, and I too love a fast wagon, but do I love it twice as much?
