Just requested shipping costs for these from a few suppliers overseas... If anyone knows if these are available from NZ, preferably not through a dealer, please let me know..

Wide body is on of the mods currently being undertaken :-)

That would actually be a great idea...

Have a look in the boot, there should be the TV / RADIO / NAV control boxes. After disconnected the TV control mox in mine, the tv went out. It should be located either by the rear amplifier, or just above the spare tyre, kind of under the floor directly behind the rear seats.

I had this after removing the light module in the boot of my touring on Monday, my headlights would dim then brighten up. I fixed this by disconnecting the battery, then right beside the battery is the black light controle module, which i reconnected but noticed there was quite a bit of dust and metal shards clinging onto it. Maybe disconnect the battery, diconnect the module and give it a good blow out and reconnect module then battery.
Your other option may be to have a look at the grounding point to the left of the spare tyre (normally directly under the rear left tail light) this might need to be tightened too..

need more up dates .............

Well im just about to go get a decent amount of tools, pipe bender, mig welder, grinders, sheets cutter etc...

Hopefully bunning is having a special haha

But this weekend is set aside to get the entire rear cabin finished, will update pics on sunday hopefully

Any idea if the fm tuner gets nz frequencies, or if it's Japan?

NZ thanks. tested it on all the standard stations, 88.6 90.2 91.0 91.8 92.4 95.0 etc

I dont mind the clean up, mine have some nasty scratches on the leather. How much are you after for the front right?

Do you have a pcture of the right driver door card? i may need this for my project...

Just picked up some steel for the interior. Hoping to start getting this welding to the chassis this weekend...

3 X 8M 2.4mm steel tubing


was originally going for the raw stainless steel look, but then saw this and its welding approved material

What sort of MID?

The one with a small screen and buttons to the right. Screen still works well with no dead lines. Havent removed this yet.

Basically its everything from the rear passenger seats to the rear boot lid thats been taken out

Have to take my hat off to guys like Brent from BMW world who strip these beasts all day...what a mission

All these wires

We'll it may be a S62 swap, or a worked M62, or a S38. We're also building another M52 with M50 intake and T61 turbo setup. Spent most of this morning ripping the interior out, alllllooooot of trim and bolts

Haha you're not far off, at least on 1 of the 2

So I've landed this 528i se from Nelson. It arrived in Auckland today and is in pretty good condition for the project we have planned for it. Now I won't go into to much detail about the project, but all I can say is, from extended research, it will be a first for NZ. But as I upload the progress of the project, it will become more clear as to what the final product will look like, so stay tuned...
