Bump for a couple changes..

Andy will want that ACS wheel, I know hes been looking for one for a while.

I have a Simota Carbon cold air intake I'm selling, Fits before the AFM though so youd still need to get a OEM boot or whatever.. Have adapter plate and a mount to fit it in.

Completely off topic, But thanks to reading this I managed to fix a little idle issue on my e30 touring, Found the TPS was full of oil and stuffed so went to pick a part and grabbed one from an e30 that was clicking and replaced / adjusted now my idle is mint. Might pay to check you can hear the TPS click when you close the throttle? I used to have a fluctuating idle that would die when cold, or drop too low and die sometimes because it had dropped to low to fast.

Looks good, I want to do the red needles but they normally light up being white - I heard using a marker pen works best.

Can only really be wheel size as the gearbox diff ratio have nothing to do with it, they all use the same speed ring in the diff with a pickup sensor. If you have over OE spec sized wheels you will throw the speedo off as the wheels have more of a rolling diameter (cover more distance per revolution) which means your covering more distance and going faster than what the speedo is calibrated for, where as having smaller ones will cover less ground per turn and thus less speed. Science.

Do it. YOLO

Why not go new while you are there? I wouldn't use a second hand pilot bearing either..

+1 for Gavin Euro Italian, have bought stuff through him for years always helpful and better prices for OEM parts.

"Seems excessive" lol some people have no idea! Nice wheels, Even the Keskin KT1 replicas cost over $1500

If you pulled that bumper off you would see the bumper mount is right on the chassis rail, so it's probably crumpled up if not just bent (Mentions chassis damage). Wouldn't really be a cheap fix IMO.

1988 was when they changed, so some are pre-FL some are facelift.

It looks like it is, Has the towbar, wheels, interior as described. Damn! I liked that car and I don't normally like pre-facelifts.

Nope, All 4 wheels via Kiwishipping sea freight.

Mine took little over a month. Depends what you buy them for to calculate taxes etc, Exchange rate has gone crap since I got mine last year.

Kiwishipping $104NZD.. + GST etc.

You can buy the ESM's from ESM directly for half that.

Just one, I bought a random set of 4 of TradeMe a store not wanting to stock e30 wheel bearings, so got 3 rears and a front quite cheap just wanted 2 of the rears.

$70, Will check in with them someone wanted me to hold on to it. Will let you know when they reply. Allgood! What was in there? Been so long I can't even remember haha

Bump..

Haha I had the same problem, Car was covered in leaves and sticks and crap. Was hectic. Also had this giant tree fall over right from under our house. This was the one where smashed into the ladies house and was on campbell live.

Has painting the needles red in the cluster affected the light output when it's dark and you have the lights on? Does the light come through the paint so the needles still light up? Agreed, need to do e36 window switches looks so much better.. I moved the window lock button up to above the stereo and deleted the other one so it's just window switches on that middle part. Looks alot better IMO.

Never seen that before. Does it cover the rear window?

Yep anything from Asia seems to come pretty fast, Bought a screen for my phone and it turned up in 1 week, Though not for BMW parts, iOffer is one to avoid.. Kind of like an Ebay I bought some shoes, got sent wrong size and they never replied back to me to exchange even filed a dispute and got nothing out of it. Crap website i'll never use again.

Lose them.. That look is sooo over played.
