There, fixed, wasn't too sure on the badges but knew they had d's in them
-
Ewww, horrible wheels IMO, and doesn't even have mtech2 kit Genuine facelift m325i's would be a little more than that asking price too.

Quoting STUFF website Interesting, but it appears that in recent years the courts have waived alot of tickets where the ticketing officer has either not produced any evidence of the offence, or, has incorrectly recorded details of the driver or the offence. This happened to me in Dannevirke of all places, was taking the secret back road bypass at a modest speed not too much over the limit when a cop pulled up at a side street...I saw him immediately and checked my speed before backing off but he pulled me over to say that I was "driving over the limit" but when I asked "what did you clock me at" in my innocent voice he said that he didn't clock me so he couldn't give me a ticket. So without a radar clocking he couldn't do anything. We shared a moment when I said "so this is more of a stop and go penalty then" after he walked all around the car to find something wrong but didn't Obviously if you are in the wrong then you should face your demons but be a little studious and ask to see the proof before accepting your wrong-doings.

Photochop some gold wheels, i've seen gold baskweaves on a midnight blue E30 like yours and they really looked the bidness, much better than white IMHO

What, haven't you heard of the westside air-con? Just leave your portable secuirty system in the car (rottweiler) and you're sussed.

BMW released E42 320 and 330 diesels which both have comparably better stats than their petrol counterparts. You can't spot them that easily unless you see the badge on the back which should have a "d" in it, okay - most diesel stock exhausts point down for some odd reason, like DTM tips flipped vertically. I wouldn't mind having the 330"d", it's got some really wicked torque stats and is bloody ecocomical all things considered. E: Actually, they're releasing a 120d diesel here which has better stats than the 120i petrol. That would be the cheapest bmw runabout on the market.

Man, I could so see myself wear little pointy shoes with bells on in that car, hehe i'm so going to ask the seller if (s)he's willing to sell the rugs separately... Edit: Removed gender specification due to sensitivity among female viewers

Most of us want one CaM, but Glenn seriously NEEDS one
-
I think these bits are for pre-facelift as the guy is selling a pre-FL motorsport front spoiler Zender skirts Zender bumper Have questioned whether the skirts are for facelift or not E: I'm not sure if the seller is a good character though judging from ppl's feedback Haha, it appears this guy is selling ALOT of bmw car parts cause the car is written off, he's also selling Koni adjustables and Jamex and King springs
-
Jeezus Mark, you're really having a cleanout aren't you TradeMeIzzle Good luck with the sales

What lowering are you after? Also, bmw badges can be replaced from bmw centre for a modest sum, just ring up shelly's and inquire as they're quite helpful. Or look on TradeMe because it's your friendThe struts and shocks (51mm ones) are gone along with the springs. How much lowering do you want??? my understanding is that these are only 30mm lowering springs anyway so if you're already on mtech suspension they're not that useful. There's always springs floating about, post an thread in the wanteds section and check trademe every now and again. My advice would be to not go too low and if you drop the car make sure you match the springs with some decent uprated shocks otherwise you'll ruin the handling.

True, that doesn't sound right, usually the fuel pump is quite audible and sustained...Just replace your fuel filter and possibly air filter as you should be doing them every 2nd or 3rd oil change (for peace of mind). bmw servicing will do your air and fuel filters every service 2. You should also replce transmission and diff oils every now and again too along with brake fluid. Preventative maintenance is the shizzle. Do the easy stuff yourself, easy and cheap and reassuring. In regards to towing, get yourself a roadside rescue from state or a AA membership, if you need a tow you get it free (up to a certain amount per year). I needed a tow when my diff shat itself and locked up the rear, saved me $80 I wreckon, paid off several years of assurance in one hit.

Darn, Damo's on the warpath again Buying online from the US is really good right now considering the exchange rates and all. UK exchange rate is still reasonable. Today the rates are: US $0.72 UK £0.38 AU $0.91

Damn left-fielders...Gizmo was the best, can you get that little pink barbie sports car for him too? Perhaps a little bmw cabrio sports car for him, now that would rock. Interesting how TradeMe has everything you can thing of, even fussball!!!
-
The boot spoiler is that common urethane/rubber lip (mtech???)
-
If Ian doesn't mind I can answer these...although not what he's aksing for them. It's a red 2 door, bonnet badge there but not the boot badge. Boot has oxidised paint as so often happens with the old red paint. Manual windows.

Have you checked the fuses aren't blown?
-
Not necessarily, it says they must not be used during clear atomospheric conditions, given that that is slightly ambiguous you could argue that clouds constitute non-clear atomospheric conditions, therefore, only on a cloudless day could you not use fog lights.
-
Question has to be asked as to whether the front driving/fog lamps are considered fog lights such as those on the rear of the car. My understanding is that several models of car permanently have the driving lights on when the car is running but since these are driving lights that's okay. Could the definition of what constitutes a fog lamp therefore be argued in court???
-
I seriously doubt the reserve price is going to be anything below $10k if that You could definately do an engine transplant Martyn, along with running gear, drivetrain, wheels, seats, trimmings......
-
You can't get busted for driving with them on??? BTW, aren't they called driving lights, the rear lights are the fog lights. It looks stupid driving with yours lights on and not having the driving lights on, now that's missing!
