GL with sale dawg, i bet brother is happy that you are selling a car that is 'too old' and has 'far too many kms' hahha

A bit of gas means just that- a TOUCH on the throttle... as in only enough to squash an ant. Made me think it could be a TPS problem, but nup. Yeah fair call on old tech, just thought that I may be able to get it more regular in its starting patterns... I like you, have checked/ replaced parts needing checking or replacing.... Which has actually been none that needed it, but I have replaced anyway. Awesome thanks re: workshop manual, I will check out the auction.

Hi guys, I own a 1985 318i M10, It would seem that a lot of people put up with starting/ running idosyncrasies in their cars, but I want mine to start/ idle and run as it did in 1985. The car is a well- serviced 125,000km and hence i think my aim is not unreasonable. I am aware of each of the tuning adjustments, from ignition timing through to AFM adjustments- but is there a sequence or simply facory specs for these? Sometimes on start it wants a bit of gas to start and i want to eliminate this at least. I believe I am on the right track so far, failing giving the car to a BMW workshop who arent interested in such small things on an old car. Or should i still investigate something like fuel pressure? Cheers kids

Its cool, but I dont reckon any more amazing than any other one- off supercar that the different places build..... Everyone seems to be able to do it. And being a one- off, it isnt really an actual model is it....

I adore NZ- I love the boating and the fishing and all that, but honestly when I get my 2 engineering degrees, I'm heading for the Middle East, or some such. I too, am sick of NZ imagining that it can become a 'world leader' in anything big- or not realising how it will cripple itself when it is.

Didnt read it in the first place haha- not exactly e30 material! I just looked at the picture

What are they off? A B12?

Have picked up an Isuzu wizard 1998 with 100km's on the clock, great condition- doesnt quite pull like a 3.2 terrano and isnt intercooled, but has a towbar and good roofracks which suits me fine!

Haha no kidding the giant logos and colour get looks in town! Anything with signwriting gets looks from me haha. However for such auctions, I reckon asking childish questions is far worse than the listing ever is in the first place- newsflash not everyone is on the same wavelength!

Mint car mate! I completely understand where you are coming from with price- If I were to sell my 318i(!) People would laugh at what I would want and potentially get for it. There are a few very different buying demographics out there who value different things thankfully. -Another mint contender would be the OLD lady in takapuna with the white Mtech2, one of the only e30's JCBMW still take care of

Is your car an NZ new M323i coupe? If so, they were fitted with a hotter cam

Everything you do usurps the plans I originally had (when i used to have time!) for my car..... snowplough, gold bbs rims, stripes..... maybe I should do jps.... I did after all just find 2 unworn 1983 JPS jackets in my mates closet haha

We don't hate Americans, in fact- it's really quite funny how many assume that we must; and thus use that introduction each time! Find yourself some 'euro' style bumpers (fenders?) dude!

Yeah subarus are a pretty sweet car.... decent spec ones, that is. Still havent found a car, at the mo its gonna have to be the 350Z, which isnt the best for the job!

i think the price is good, in saying that i paid 2k for a black tech2 4 door

This car looks pretty nice, but at that price? There seem to be a few realy good orig condition ones sometimes even 1 owner like an e30- for cheap. Nothing beats the 5cyl exhaust note- my 20V turbo would make any loose corrugated iron or skip bin within 10m around it vibrate when at idle!

no, you shouldnt have! that car was gross.... someone had gone nuts with the yucky yellow paint and decals.... id actually dare say that this could be the same car done- up again? new bumpers, wheels etc etc..... they never came yellow so to find with the same scheme..... i'm probably wrong though.

Hmm fair call, sounds like people really must have had the subaru problems that gives them a reputation.... damn! In that case i'd kill for a mercedes TE or the like

Stink man, although I hope you dont really mind that much- if we arent allowed them neither are you Theres an A8 driven by some Arab in the city with shamelessly ACTUAL european plates haha... dots, dashes, colours and all

Awesome thanks ill definitely keep that in mind- my last ski car was a '97 250t, admittedly it had just had cambelt and new heater core and a few things so gave me no trouble.....

Hey guys, am currently looking for a car to leave in the south island for the winter- Pref 1997+ legacy non turbo (unless you have a very reliable turbo) sub $5k, pref a 1997 250T in silver. OR a nissan terrano/pathfinder 3.2 diesel 1996+ sub $12k..... Know both these cars fairly well so no prob buying sight unseen, prefer if the car is already in the south island (Otago or Canterbury would be great!)

'Bet he's a big fat liar- feels ripped by someone getting the 'upper hand' on him with their low winning bid, so returns the blow by saying he 'gave it away'. He sounds like a winner!

Welcome chris! hah. S6 would be so much hotter...... Or a HiLex Nathan

Am seriously considering this instead of a legacy for a ski car to leave south!

I'd tell you if i could remember sorry, however it was in kerikeri and he was from Whangarei I think, and went around car yards in the north touching up their seats etc
