low oil level maybe? , as glenn said , probably stuffed now , most old auto trans dont like track days . just convert it to a manual or put another second hand auto box in , i have both types in stock if needed cheers brent

wow thats a nice price . i can try if you like through my contacts . where you asking for a wooden one ?? they are expensive .

have this spare grey gearlever boot . also have this red panel and boot if you want to barrow it to make a pattern of the panel in plywood/timber etc for the leather boot to fit into . cheers brent

have a indash e46 cd player if anyone is interested in it ,. hard to come by most e46 have tape decks and cd changers or have been replaced by some chepa after market stereo http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-283513309.htm also a black leather set from a e39 touringand other parts http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-283512094.htm

i might have some manual shift boot and panel bits left over . i also have sprayed the panal and shift boots black before seams to work ok. good work on getting the manual kit what did that freight cost you in the end cheers brent

just need one to make up a set . dunlop direzza 225/45-17" new or second hand if it has a good amount of tread anyone have one ??? or if not a pair of something similer cheers brent 021433600

got these in last week . also have some twisty type mtec side skirts from this 318ti m/s. off to the painters maybe next week.

well said my thoughts too. but yes nice car and good luck with the sale , but my 2 cents worth . is that if you are going to try and get top dollar for a car i think you might need to leave some of the goodies on it (like nice wheels etc)..

nice collection you have there .

also e24 blocks . most likly best option is the 1982(9 mth) to about 1987(9mth) block with the 10;1 pistons. and you can run them on the later motronic system if you like from a e34 535i and e32 735i etc

side skirts are teh same size for compact , sedan , coupe , convertables and tourings . fronts all the same as well , rear compact one only fits compact . rear sedan ,coupe ,convertable and touring etc all the same. have some side skirts at the moment . and have a front one that needs repairing . and possibly can get a rear one in . cheers brent

are you wanting the eraly early block with the flat pistons and 94mm bore with 84mm stroke with 10:1cr . or the little bit later one from e28 e23 e24 with 92mm bore and 86mm stroke with piano top pistons?? 10:1cr probably can help cheers brent

yep easy retro fit . just need the servo motor , cruise control box and stalk . can help you there thanks brent

a pic or 2 . I'll let marty and ian do the talking

some pics of the black 540i

got this today . reg on hold , uk import 180,000miles. calipso red , cloth seats , wood trim , std 15" bbs , flakey clear coat on the right rear previous owner repleced broken M60B30 engine with a M62B35 engine from a 97 735i and also imported from the usa a 5spd manual box from a 530i V8 etc a light weight ali flywheel fitted with a new bmw clutch. but has not been able to get it going with the e38 ecu (ews problems )he didn't get the full kit . so then tried with a link computer and no luck there after about 2 years or so . so i thought i would use a orginal engine loom and get it running on a std 530i or 730i ecu and remap it , or maybe swap the 3.5L chip into a early e38 ecu that has no ews stuff ??? but i also have a 93 540i in black with a stuffed trans , bad paint , no plates (handed in) lowered suspension grey leather etc . maybe stick the manual into that car and rereg it . also i have a spare M62B44 4.4L v8 engine out of a e39 540i was wanting to do a e36 with this engine and manual ??? but that requires quite a lot of modifacations to the sump , mounts headers etc to make it fit in and work HHHMMMMMM what to do , and this is in between managing a european car dismantler and running a house hold etc oh and not to forget rebuilding a m5 engine and super charger my 328i coupe etc

maybe head gasget leak causing over pressure , but fix any leaks first as they will let air into the system and cause similier problems , had same issue with my 535i recently ended up being a head gasget (sleight corrosion after 20 years)

i would also change the diff and axles to the bigger medium case diff if fitting more power .

convert it to manual , then its sorted
