Bump, Feel free to offer me less or trade, you may catch me in a "sick of paying for petrol and parking" mood.

Ah yes I live in Taka, Rewiti Ave just off the beach. I hear you live in the area?

Saw the E30 with it's sly driver this avo in Pons

Damn nice! Wish my car was sold!

Quite an eye- opener as to how difficult it can be to get to where you want to live in Auckland. None the less, how about Ellerslie Greenlane sort of areas? I'll admit to being clueless on price, but they aren't exactly the northern slopes of Rem so may be possible

Euro= Everything we have in NZ. Kids getting their words from American sites/ shows/ gangsta rap these days.....

Dunno about boats, but BMW M30 looking diesel 6's coupled with a BMW leg are common enough here

Dare I broach the idea that you may not be serious about this. I suspect that if money is free and easy, you wouldnt be driving a 2002 318i? There is no 'cool' in tyres. No one will look. Brand image is related directly to faith in tyre performance. And as such, image is not in your interests.

Bit of you?

As per picture (only one I have right now sorry) sans clear lights, they have been swapped out for original orange ones which I prefer. manual short shift with new bmw knob genuine dealer optioned mtech front with genuine splitter added later full genuine dealer fitted AC schntizer exhaust system new tyres all around (november) pirelli fronts and something generic rear in 235 clotch sport seats no rips 2 airbags genuinely economical factory mtech suspension air con blows cold (and hot when you want it!) new thermostat new coolant recently serviced colour is maderiaviolet (dark purple!) genuine forged 3L M3 rims pair of genuine msport side skirts yet to be fitted $5500 Takapuna Will try and do more photos, but am pretty flat out at the moment

A few years ago for mums 120i a new key was just posted in the mail to her, and wasnt that expensive from jcBMW iirc. Her rav4 keys have been way more expensive when needed.

Cheers Ray, a great help thanks

As per title, my E36 coupe has Fl indicators etc, keen to swap for pre fl orange ones. if anyone is keen. North shore

I was quoted something like $1200 for a high pressure (pump assisted brakes) for an audi urS4 I had once. Got the hose replaced and the fittings re- fitted at hydraulink for something like 120.

Very nice. The style of wheel and it's void space vs paint area perfectly suit the matching colour e36 body shape.

+10: An interesting point to prove this is that when the boys arent in the market for something or cannot afford it, they have every negative opinion in the world about value. However When you are genuinely in the market and can afford to pick and choose, you are more than happy to shop in th eupper regions to secure a good example and assure good value.

M44 318iS, No cracks or damage to plastic components, new clean coolant.

Cheers Glenn will do and report back.

Hi guys 2 issues: 1. The digital climate control in my car seems to have piss poor fan speeds compared to most cars. The fan seems to change speed at each increment of the display but there is really no point in having it below half display speed as it is just too weak there. Air con and all functions work fine. 2. The engine does not heat up very fast according to the display, and even if or when it reaches half way on the needle, it is possible to lower it back down by coasting at idle down a long hill for instance. I have had the thermostat out and tested for hot/ cold movement (albeit out of it's housing) which seems fine enough. It is however by no means new. Any suggestions? Cheers for any help

Good call. The mothers these days who get a Ford Territory as soon as they have a baby because they absolutely need it.... And they keep them a flaming mess. Most of us grew up with mums driving manual sedans with no electric windows or air con and on top of that they werent a mess. Culture of sloth? Apologies for digression.

Fair trade by the sounds, you will probably have to send them pictures of her first.

350- 500 with no centrecaps which cost a bit. They did not come in gold and with a 24 offset they wil be 325i as 325iX would be 41 and have a substantially lower value. That said; in australia(?) the slap dash JPS models had whatever standard alloys they came with, repainted with gold spokes etc from new. I hope this helps

Bloody brilliant thanks Gavin. Best service and delivery on promise that I've had in a very long time from anyone in the often hit- and- miss automotive industry.

The leather knob on my car is shagged, and I'm not immediately keen to fork out the big bucks for one from bmw or even online at this stage. Does anyone have one for me in good condition? Can be any 5 speed BMW knob, plastic is O.K as well. Cheers boys Nathan
