, mine make a noise, and I can barely tell they're doing anything. When parked up against a wall and using it, the drivers side headlight tilts a tiny bit, is this right?

The guy has 2x e30's, owned an e3 and a few other bmw's. I swear he didn't want to sell the car. His words... "One condition of me selling this car to you...if you decide to sell it in the future, make sure that you offer it to me first." He also had a sway bar made up by an engineering company specifically for this car...the blimmen thing has got to be at least 30-35mm large haha, weighs heaps. He said it handled worse, which probably translated into tonnes of understeer haha. Nice bloke though. So he offered to buy your 535iS?

Hey guys, thought i'd report back with said pics. Car is in pretty good shape for 210,000 miles. Goes well. Appears to be some minor rust in the bottom of a few of the doors and a little patch by the sunroof. When my mate bought it, it hadn't had a warrant for about 4.5 yrs and the rego had been on hold for quite some time as the guy had planned on making it into a track toy. When he took it for a warrant, only failed on a brake light and the washers not spraying water, both easily remedied. It has a bbs front and rear spoiler, which personally I think set it off well. Very nice to drive, and goes well for an early 80's boat, handles surprisingly well with uprated bushes, just need to remedy the body roll. Unfortunately we didn't have time to do anything in Welly due to only leaving at 10am after chatting to the guy for about 1.5hrs. Brought the thing up to Auckland on a pretty cruisy trip back (took about 9hrs including breaks, but had to get back before warriors game started! ). Pics are crap because i'm poor and only have my cellphone camera. Enjoy.

Only thing I don't like about it is the M5 badge and the 350 CHEV sticker on the back. Apart from that looks a tidy conversion. I'm guessing it's cheaper to do a 350 chev transplant over an m60?

+1, keep up the awesome work Boris.

That's true.

Looking good, what size rims are those and what springs/shocks are you running?

Awaiting new camera I'd been looking around for several types of wheels for a little while, and when these popped up on BS, I figured perfect thing to jump on. Originally I had been looking at just getting replicas, but figured these would be cooler . Nope, just standard bulbs, I think it's the crappy camera which makes them look like that. I picked this up relatively cheap after some hardout jew saving. This isn't my daily driver thankfully...I'm pretty sure i'd be living on the streets now if that was the case . Haha, yea right Lance, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ....I agree with Ryan

My mate would prob be keen to take it through it's paces, we'll try locate the place.

Thanks Paul, but the guy selling the car is picking us up from the airport at about 8am. Then taking us to his place I think (no idea where he lives).

You got it, unfortunately i'm a poor student, but that's also on my very very long list of things to do. Haha.

I take it you're not a fan of the facelift. I personally like it...but maybe i'm biased?

Hey guys, well I finally managed to gather enough funds to purchase some AC's. Sold by a member on here, see http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....88#topicoptions Some quick crap photos off my phone, have just put them on and taken it for a spin. They have a little curb rash, so that's on the to-do list as well. Will post better pics when I can afford a new camera

I don't think many people would be keen for a beer at about 9am on a friday. Haha. Where is obay?

I think you know of the one. The guy selling's name is Murray.

HAHA, check this: 740LI - 11.2L/100km. 750LI - 11.5L/100km. I don't believe that for town conditions in the SLIGHTEST

Looks pretty mint, facelifted as well.

Hey guy/gals. Just wondering if there is anything worth looking at down in Welly. Am flying down with a mate tomorrow morning to pickup an e23 735i manual with lsd which he's bought. Looks pretty mint from the pics. While down there he thought it'd be a good idea to see anything which is worthwhile down there (won't be there for long, maybe 1hr max). Please let us know, will post pics of the car when we get back. Cheers, Ian.

Makes sense. Cheers.

How would they monitor this?

Sounds pricey to me, lol. But i'm a cheapass.

Couldn't have said it better.

Looking good Simon. Once i've got my new wheels ill give her a good clean and post some pics. Not quite as great a colour as 'gay purple' though.

So have you found out if the flywheel broke or if it was the camshaft? Or is that what you find out this weekend
