I like the floor mat in the second one .

I think if you are not worried about the ride as stated above and kept the maintenance up on the engine then maybe it is worth it. They dont seem happy to explain what might be wrong so i would definatly take them for a test drive.

Offer $2000 for the red one since thats probably what the previous owner got off with trade in.

was just about to say i have the cable/battery box/tray etc here, just dont have the engine bay termial.. left it in the car when it was crushed thought id throw it up here anyways incase someone else want it.

PM sent. Do you still have them or did i miss out again?

?? Incase the above is incorrect.

Do you have any boot battery cables etc. and do you have any e30 aircon equipment?

Cheers.

I wasn't in the mood to change the starter again so decided to try cleaning all the connections first. So I filed down the inside of the battery connections and the terminals on the battery itself. Then moved to the fire wall connection and filed that down. And lastly jacked the car up got under and did the negative cable from the sump. All clean 'n shiny . And it fired up just like it should. Now just have to wait and see if it will play up again. (Touch wood.) Give it a go it doesn't take that long.

I also asked Jono1 for his cable. Tag me on to the WTB list. I already have it in the 325i including battery cover which seem even harder to get hold of.

Hello.

I have been having the same problem with a manual so i don't think the auto switch would make a difference.

I used the guide to work out my problem is the starter. Thing is I have already replaced the starter once. Is this just bad luck or could something be destroying the starters. Also are all m20 starters the same eg do b20 and b25 use the same. Any idea on the cost of buying a new one as it is rather annoying to have this particular problem.

Cheers

I know that Spraystore has a good reputation, but i beleive anyone can match the colour code. They quoted me $30 to do a ''touch up'' spray can. I buy my sealant from them for sumps. Do you know anyone who is a mechanic etc as they can get discounts usually.

This is one crazy conversion. Logic says replace the whole wiring loom but often the engine is just spliced in. Good to see someone taking on the challenge.

I have been looking at doing a 5 stud conversion dont think i would take this route. You have some skill with the welder it looks very professional.

Are you taking a break for christmas? when will we hear her running?

So it’s like a Bimmersport meet then?

No no no ...umm well yes. But we have class. These are the type.

In Japan all the taxis are stuck in the '80 era. They must just keep making them because they dont look worn out. It really looks crazy when the background is modern day Tokyo.

Hello, I need to undo a 30mm and 40mm nut so went down to repco to check out some prices. $30 and $45 respectably which is a little much for me since I wont use them often if ever again. So does anyone already have these in Christchurch i can borrow? Or do you know where a can find cheap versions in this size? Other options I would consider buying is a multi spanner which was $72 at repco which did up to 40mm. Your experience appreciated. Cheers.

Hello,

I dont think leaving that is a good idea. I have an m20b20 sitting in the garage $25 for the mount.

Will it just happen again if you dont fix the problem? I dont see the need for changing from rubber can someone give some pros and cons to switching to Urethane or Delrin.

Cheers.

Hello,

and

- e30 325i rear battery cable and engine compartment attachment to fire wall, battery cover etc. Cheers

I have a pair in Wellington I don't want with cracks in them, easily hidden spot of light filler behind/glue $10 and they are yours/if anyone else wants some, they are the 2 piece type that go to the grill.

I have sent you a PM.

Fluffy seat covers sweet, do they go with it?. That engine is so dirty maybe you could give it a once over to help the sale?. Good luck I have seen your car for a long time on tm.

I am researching into the how to remove in my Haynes manual. Do you use the BMW tool or the screwdriver option with help from a mate?

I use a twink pen to do the marking.

Can you see a number on the cam, I have one here which has the right front and is a

1 255 930 cam.

I have 1 250 057.

Online part number is 11 31 1 269 448 (old part number 11 31 1 266 226) or interchangeable with e12, e28, e25, e23 models *25i or *28i or *33i.

^Yes back to the problem at hand^

Right so I might aswell start the deconstruction untill I find another cam. What is the best way to keep everything in time? I thought about using a vivid to mark the sprocket and chain after I turn the engine to tdc. And/or then use cable ties to hold them together.

I measured the rather large nut as 40mm is that correct?

I have more than one bmw just listed the better looking one on my profile and it is stock 325i, i do have a project which is close to being finished. To be shown off once finished.

This is the damaged cam!

On another note the bolts holding the sprocket on are all loose and that one banjo bolt was also.

Hey guys,

I just received some parts from Gavin and the service was excellent. I live in Christchurch and still got them in a day. Good prices also.

Cheers.

The 335i has turbo and they got the quicker time by increasing the psi by 0.5 if you take that into consideration then how can you compare them. You could just keep fiddling with the turbo.

Clintin the car looks great and you got a good deal with the low k's and warrenty. Enjoy.

yes, you can

Thanks bob...Oh sweet thought it might!

Pretty sure the camshaft is quite different, I know the pistons etc are, and you'd need to be sure you weren't going to get valve clash?

I may have a 2.5 cam in my collection, if I can find it I'll let you know.

Cheers David,

Can i replace the cam without taking the head off while the engine is out of the car?
