THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN

Looking at getting the M50 E36 2.5 mot'a a birthday and smoothing out the bumps in the the current dyno picture, anyone done this on a standard M50 motor - worthwhile?, improvments?, value for money?! Thanks in advance

Must say I have seen some face furnitured, cap backwards drug dealers driving past in lowered blingie 325i coupes

The Top 10: 1. Nissan Silvia 2. Subaru Impreza 3. Nissan Skyline 4. Subaru Legacy 5. Mitsubishi Legnum 6. Honda Integra 7. Subaru Forester 8. Mazda Lantis 9. Honda Prelude 10. Mazda Familia Just gotta have a BMW, you now know why you pay a little more, after 67% of nicked vehicles have NO security in the vehicle at all. Back as far as 1992, the E36 had immoblisers in them.

I have 1994 E36 imported from Hongkong with its manufacture showing on REAL OEM as Europe, is it likely to have the Jatco or ZF transmission, by the way, so far its smooth as no problem since purchase. how can I check, is there a serial# on the casing etc?

BINGO - 10/10 mate - just a side note has anyone got folk living in Kerikeri? From all accounts the local constabulary are caning the place, one motorist has been stopped 7 times in the last 3 weeks!!! Sounds like the cops have become the local government up there!!

With some trim from Reid & Twiname, I fixed the convertible back window, took 4 hours of feeding the lining into the trim, looks great and is better that the original due to the shape of the trim profile. Just fixing the internal lining in the rear section in the top of the back window velcroed and its all finished. Howeever Murphy always interferes, the drive home, just go off the mo'way, and it "the engine" just stops dead, restart just splutted and stopped, fuel line, fuel filters, fuel pump or the whole lot. - Hate driving in tow trucks, as there is an inevitiblity where the buck stops - just in front of the EFTPOS terminal...

What time does the carnage commence?

Thanks for the info, I went to see these guys, spoke to Simon who advised on completely replacing the back window.......cost..... well call it a quite few hundies, so I have continued the search for the trim, Reid & Twiname in Penrose have the right trim and will get this tomorrow. With some assistance from wanabe BMW driver (16 year son) & some Superglue Gel, I think I might have solved the problem. Thanks for the referral, although it didnt work out I appreciate your help

Having trouble locating an auto trim wholesaler so I can get some roof trim parts, anyone know of a company I can contact? Having made inquires at a couple of car upholsteriers, they want to replace the window....and dry clean the wallet as usual, the windows fine just needs the strip. So, I need the vinyl/rubber strip that runs around the exterior of the rear window. Also an interior part that holds the lining to the rear part of the frame, its a clip-on plastic tube that holds the tension in the lining evenly across the roof. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info

I have a rear window trim that needs repairing, it looks simple enough but Murphy's Law means I will make it worse than it is now, so does anyone know of an Auckland upholstery company that could advise or provide a price for what seems to be an easy job? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the address will follow this up

Thanks Glenn, will try to locate him

Could anyone recommend an upgrade in the ECU to give a 325i a bit more weeze, I had a dyno done on the cherub, and it was a tad sad after 4500 rpm, and choked on its own smoke at 6500 rpm. Map ECU talked some numbers, but as the saying goes - pays to shop around thanks in advance
