Thanks! Makes me feel a whole lot better about splashing $800 on bits of plastic hanging off each other!

Hi Brent I know the car is obviously long gone, but I was just wondering how often you get cars in with this bumper? I'm restoring one at the moment but it's split in so many places I'm wondering if I'm better off getting another one in better condition.

I was gonna say Brent in Mt Wellington seems to have good intentions even if capabilities could be a different topic They did you a favour then?

Looks cleaner without the lip. Especially with a gap it's just 2 separate components rather than 3. Plus it won't be as low. Now if it was body coloured that'd be the dog's bollocks. Of course, probably not worth painting with the current finish.

Is this the Mt Wellington Mag & Turbo you're referring to?

A whole bunch of interesting E36es

That looks bloody mint dave. I think it suits your blue more than my red. The most noticeable gaps are definitely at the end on the sides. The top front gap I quickly forgot was there. I wonder if self tapping screws can bend the sides in enough to close the gap. I think because it curves slightly upwards the approach angle at the front isn't actually bad at all especially considering its length. At standard motorsport height I never scraped the front edge, it was always those 2 points at the bottom I showed you. And be careful about the rough inside scratching your motorsport lip. it doesn't look like this is installed with the lip does it?

If it's your first car, definitely go with whatever is your cheapest option. I wouldn't save up to get something nice just yet. Just like young love, it might feel like you'll be together forever but it doesn't usually last. The 318ti sounds nice if it's a manual.

Another one: https://www.bmw-syndikat.de/bmwsyndikatfotos/topic3995_Hamann_E36_Coupe_HM3_0__Update__3er_BMW_-_E36.html Blimey it looks f-ing sick paint matched, can't wait to see it on Dave's.

Is there a way to truly know anything is 100% genuine? It would just seem stranger to me for it to be some sort of replica when there's nothing to make a replica off of, and to print a code number that means nothing to anybody. There's one other example in Sweden: https://rejsa.nu//forum/viewtopic.php?p=1155696&sid=8f17076824eaafab132c58c95dd52ff1

Yep Dave's bought it.

Yea mate. Some time this week possible?

Hamann front splitter Acs side skirts Feel free to make offers

This one. If any wreckers come across one.

So supple man. Going from shot shocks to this is like standing for 8 hours, then being massaged on a top of line recliner. Do I need a receipt or anything if I needed to see George Stocks?

Might be interested in the shocks if you sell the springs to Batman's pecker

Thanks lads. Might get it off ebay didn't realise it was so ludicrously cheap and since you're not in Auckland.

Pick-a-parts are pretty far from me and there's no way to test if something works, so if anyone's wrecking an E36 or something I could take that off your hands.

Why 265 rears? Is it purely for appearance or do you actually spin the wheels in 535i?

If only there was a way to make the car float. Or big enough Gladwrap.

Interesting. I'm all the way up in Auckland, but thanks for the offer. Now the question is, and putting aside the straight cut gears completely, given that the car was advertised as having a recently reconditioned gearbox but turned out to be not (oil was black and low) and has some sort of bearing problem, what is a fair compensation I should ask from the seller? I will go down a few notches from there since I want to believe him that he was unaware of his friend's bamboozling.

ooh deleted sorry. Just didn't realise how old that post was.

It's definitely from the gearbox, it also stops with the clutch pedal in. Mechanic who says he's seen this lots have said it's the input shaft bearing.

Yeah we've put a camera up there and we see some helical gears There's one straight one which is probably reverse. Fluid was also low and dark. Another unusual thing the seller said was that 1, 2, 3, and 4 were straight cut while 5th was helical. Finally, a straight cut wouldn't whine while idling in neutral even with the clutch out, would it? Seller has said he will try and contact the friend who supplied it to him. Anyway case closed, thanks for chiming everybody. Do you know of the car somehow?

Well I'm confused. It mostly isn't bullshit. The lsd, m3 brakes, headers, lightened flywheel, are all there. I can't confirm that the engine is a B30 hybrid with forged pistons, but it's a lot faster than a B25. Straight cut gears just seems like such a ridiculous thing to lie about. Then again, shame on me for missing something so obvious. Hope I don't have to go through the disputes tribunal, but the seller isn't dodging me or anything.
