Very cool, Such a tidy e28

No you wouldn't be obliged if it hasn't hit reserve, You would be going around trademe. Unless he offers it as a fixed offer at the end to confirm actual price. How high are you going?

$150 shipped? Any takers?

Mine

so what do you want for the sunroof seal?

Is it the one piece full sunroof seal? Interested how much are you after

I would wait it out, That doesn't have much going for it apart from having an m50.. 3-3.5k max IMO.

Andy - DIdn't you have an m50 intake mani on your old e30 m52b28? Where are your references to all these tests you talk about? And wheres the Science behind all of it? I think it is generally accepted there is low end torque loss, but there is lots of info and positive feedback on e30zone (UK Forum, same spec engines) for doing this swap. Just curious.

Hahaha

Bump - Offer whatever reasonable, Can't be bothered listing on trademe but will if no interest here..

Does not appear to be one except the #12 one between pickup and pump.

They are in pretty good condition, I believe they were only a couple years old (2009) when I bought my e30 and have since upgraded to some Konis, $220 for the set shipped.

Anyone have a lower radiator mount, Like #3 below - I need to fit a wider radiator and have a not so wide NZ New style one with the long lower mount. Also need 4x bolts to bolt a gearbox to an engine, 2x M12x75 and 2x M12x50 I believe if anyone has some liying around.

IMO It is the same as throwing everything motorsport or extra option to any BMW, Alot of people do it. I don't think that justifies it bringing the plates and tags over. It's just a 540iA with extras, I just don't agree with the selling it off as a 540iS. Anyhow it is a nice tidy car

Um, Does this not mean that if you re-shell, the 'shell' that is used must retain its factory assigned VIN # ? So you can't just plate and tag it to be what the original car was..

Nah my fronts do, but the rears do not. They are like the above and according to Koni you must push them right in and it will click an adjuster gear to let you adjust by rotating once it is in the gear.They are adjustable they even say on the sticker.. Gave up on it. Like the top ones here - I have 80-2641 rears http://www.koni.com/car-racing/technology/adjustment/

Badass. Good price too. Is the sump guard the OEM SA one? Any mods to fit under an m50? I had one when I did an m50 in my last e30 and the engine / sump sat too low. Interested to know if you are using the m5 / e28 535 engine mounts?

Nah I have H&R's in my touring they are about the same as what is in there now, if not a tad higher. Vogtlands go about the same. You can't get much lower without going coilovers before running out of spring / shock travel.

I thought the site was still down because I had bimmersport.co.nz/forum bookmarked at home and work.. Was thinking this is taking ages... Wonder if I was the only one surely not lol

Anyone know the secret to adjusting rear koni e30 shocks? They look like the below, From what I've read you need to remove the bumpstop (there is no bumpstop, just a white bushing with a cutout to slip it out) then compress the shock right in and you should feel it go into the adjustment. But it just spins and spins and I never feel anything. Any ideas?

Too much dish on the rear IMO, Compared to the front + Sticking out too much. Looks alot better though, Can't beat an e30 on RS'

Must have been a hell of a burnout

Bad ass. Jelous of those fabrication skills. Is this to be road legal or just a project for the hell of it? And what made you go for the e28 ?

Welcome. Weather permitting in a garage? lol

BUMP..
