store is open NOW - magwarehouse are pissed at us cos they want the signing down! have told them if they want it down to go hire a cherry picker and take it down themselves We will only take it down when our new signs are ready. Braeden - that is the kit we have in stock for E36 - fits nicely! Foohey - check Trademe user CL5 for details.

looks like a new world shopping trolley!

oh oh oh I want to put some Goodyear Z1's on my car

Just a quick note to let all our southern members know that we are opening a store in Christchurch. We have bought the old Magwarehouse store (in Ferry Road)and will be rebranding it in the next few weeks. We figured someone needs to give the Mag and Turbo down there a shake up!! We are currently open and trading trying to sell a lot of the old stuff that was leftover. Pop in and have a look - there are some real bargains to be had at the moment! A 40ft container of stock will be arriving in a few weeks full of bodykits, wheels, tyres, lowering springs, bucket seats etc. Please note that we have NOTHING to do with the old owners or staff. Conversely if you know someone looking for a new job, please let me know. We are after sales staff, a manager and workshop staff. It would be ideal if you could do a bit of everything ie sell and fit. Cheers Johno

yep still the same price there is a common misconception that the "profile size" changes when you go to 35,40, 45 etc. That number is actually an aspect ratio. It refers to the sidewall height of the tyre as a percentage of the width. so a 225/40/18 has a sidewall height of 40% of 225 whereas a 225/35/18 has a sidewall height of 35% of 225 so in essence you are dropping 5% out of the overall height of your tyres. Staggered fit tyres are generally the same overall diameter ie 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 are the same overall diameter. I could write a very long winded explanation but it is still early on monday morning and the caffeine has not quite reached my brain yet - do a search on the net for explanation of aspect ratios - hopefully then it will become as clear as mud ps when you do a search use 'i' in tyre - silly yanks! long story short - run 225/40/18's!

depends what sort of quality tyres you want to go for - packages start from $1395 on the car. Cheers

maybe I need glasses........................... but all I can see is an M badge. HOT HOT HOT wagon!!

isn't it funny how we all get off topic so quickly The biggest prob with the TT legacy's is that the first turbo runs out of puff before the 2nd one kicks in. My old VR4 was hugely different, the turbos were so smooth, maybe the V6 engine made a difference too? edit: ran the spellcheck

great looking wheel what offset are they? Are they 5x120 or 5x114.3 with your spacers on?

I will try and take a side on photo on Monday for you guys. We put on stick on BMW centres, price to Bimmersport Members $995 incl GST Wheels only. 328 - pop in and see us and bring some Corona! Cheers Johno

Well it has finally arrived 17*7 at 30ET will bolt directly on to E30's without having to run any spacers. Can also supply with BMW centre. Let me know what you think Cheers Johno

$2k max. They are great little cars - I have owned 3, but all were manuals!

haha bit of both I think .Probably should have mentioned it was 94ish, he was one of those guys that could drive really quickly in a straight line!

listing is on Trade Me http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-141692941.htm if you are serious contact me via PM. We are selling it on behalf for a mate who has returned to Japan. Price is definitely negotiable Or if ya can't afford that there is always the silver 735(Black leather) or Blue 740 (miami vice grey leather)

I took the 740 (4.4 V8) from Auckland to Gisborne and back, averaged 9.6km/100km and that was driving the car HARD though the gorge from Opotiki to Matawhai(?). With EDC on and using steptronic mode left many a car (even a guy in a legacy TT wagon - he was pissed off) for dust through the twisty stuff!

pressing the EDC button makes the 7 such a different car, heaps tighter and "sportier" to drive. If anybody wants a 750IL V12 green with tan leather let me know. It has all the bells and whistles - right down to removable clipboards in the rear of the front seats. Too many buttons and gadgets to list!! or a 735 or a 740

you can buy 'off the shelf' lowering springs that give about 70mm drop for the front, you will need to shorten your front shocks to keep them captive. You don't need to compress your factory ones. PS do you have a 4 or 6 cylinder E36?

they = Trade Me, by stating they are replica's you are breaking Trade Me's terms and conditions. Replica wheels are deemed to be fake items and are not allowed to be sold on Trade Me. We have been caught out and have been discussing the issue. Trade Me have cited safety concerns - we rebuted this by showing them they meet all relevant safety standards, however they(Trade Me) are black and white on the issue, if we list any more we will have our account removed! Luckily the members on here are not quite so pedantic and will (hopefully) buy from us!

putting a 215 on will definitely help. Look at a tyre like a direzza or Toyo as they have a narrower shoulder which will also help 'tuck' the wheel under more. Will drive so much better than a dirty old triangle too

Any replica BMW wheels WILL NOT be relisted on Trade Me, they are having a BIG BIG crack down on replica stuff at the moment. Part of TM's terms and conditions is that you are not allowed to sell fake, replica or pirated good's.

well the buy now has come down $2k, I was offered it for $6950 previously

stating 35 is the correct is simplifying things a little too much. It also comes down to the width of the wheel combined with the offset. The wider your wheel the higher offset you need to run. A 7.5 @ 35ET will not rub provided you use the correct upsize tyre, however if you run an 8.5@35ET you will need to roll the rear guards slightly if the car has been lowered. If you also lowere your car substantially IE lower than 100mm off the ground expect trouble. Take a look at the angle of the driveshafts for one, also expect huge camber wear on the rear etc. It has all been said here before, and us older people on here (I'm 32) do actually know what we are talking about.

wait until you put the wheels on as the car gets certed with the size wheel that is on the car, so if you went to get a cert now it would only be with 15" wheels
