  1. Awesome! Giver her 4th shes screaming for it!
  2. 5% duty on car parts + import transaction fee ($35) + Disbursement fee ($10) + GST on the whole lot. It adds up quick. $379US cost me $150NZ in charges. Keep it below $400NZ
  3. Below $400NZ, there are no charges.
  4. Yeh, gotta agree, BMW NZ's parts prices are silly. Theres genuine, and then theres taking the piss! In all honesty, after playing with some meyle HD bits, Genuine isnt the "end all" of quality, the meyle bits are the shizzle (esp for the price) Ive now spent $$$$ with http://www.schmiedmann.com/ and give them a two thumbs up for prices and service. Just keep below the $400NZ per order mark and customs charges etc dont come into it. 2 weeks to your door for stuff not in stock, and around a week for stuff in stock seems to be the theme. ebay is good, but ebay charges sellers to sell, so if you can find the sellers actual website and take ebay outta the loop, youll save coins

  11. You should hang em off the roof rack, and put a gun rack in the back while your at it Does look pretty cool though, a little bit 1980's rallyish with the spots and wipers.

    Quick Questions

    Whats the story with replacing the ball joints on an E30 front lower arm? Is it possible? Ive read conflicting stories. Has anyone here done it? If its not possible, or advised.. Whatya rekon? http://www.schmiedmann.com/3_series/E30/Sp...s/page1.htm#532 Firken cheap compared to BMW original prices, everything else ive gotten from schiedman that isnt OEM looks pretty good too me.
  14. Cream interior is cool Is your suspension broken?
  15. Asked Ian Haynes about my purge valve conundrum, and your on the money polley. Sounds like the bentley manual isnt quite right. A 1k resistor is enough to make the DME happy, apparently BMW actually made a clip with the resistor in it to plug into the loom for this reason. Easy fix
  16. Nice man, looks cool. Battery too boot - Weight distribution and engine bay looks better. APT - I have a spare cable etc if your interested, factory bits. They use a cool little + block that bolts to firewall with a cover.
  17. The bentley manual rekons that the valve gives a pulsed ground Doesnt sound so simply to trick...

    Movember -

    Week 2. Bit patchy but she'll pull through on the day
  19. Just stumbled across p/n for M50/52's serpentine belt, with no powersteering pump, but with the idler. 56.25" is the length. p/n - K060557 6PK1415
  20. Just cleaned the car Its turtle wax wheel cleaner in the orange bottle. Works good.

    Gran Turismo 5

    Makes you wonder why the E30 M3 was left out, particularly with the 2.5 190E's in the game. Maybe it was a move by BMW... Was it Gt2 that didnt allow you to change wheels on the bimmers? Still, probably the best list of cars in any car game ever ie Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA 1600 '65 Alpine A110 1600S '73 Audi quattro '82 Caterham Seven Fire Blade '02 Cizeta V16T '94 Dodge Charger 440 R/T '70 DOME-ZERO Concept '78 Ginetta G4 '64 Jensen Interceptor MkIII '74 Lamborghini Countach LP400 '74 Lamborghini Miura Volkswagen Golf I GTI '76 Lancia DELTA S4 Rally Car '85 Lancia STRATOS '73 Lotus Carlton '90 Marcos Mini Marcos GT '70 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe '54 Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II '91 Mitsubishi STARION  4WD Rally Car '84 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe (Type-1) '68 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Evolution 2 Rally Car '86 Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Rally Car '85 Triumph Spitfire 1500 '74
  22. ^ +1 It dont do miracles, but she works well. Stuff in the clear orange bottle?

    E30 M50 leftovers

    Bump. Can possibly install the M20 in your E30 for a good rate, but itll depend on what bits you have already. If your interested we can discuss.
