yea was pretty busy all day . thanks for the coffee I like your e30 m325i ,good score cheers

picked up a new wendy wagon for the little lady . just a sleight scratch in the front right corner . nz new 328i touring , yukky nz spec leather interior . but some other nice extra's like full OBC . lumber support adjustments on the front seats. fold down arm reat etc nice best bars made towbar with 1400kg braked rating ( only 100kg less than the e34 535i) 5 speed ZF auto ( not the dreaded jatco job) but most likly will be converted to a 5 spd manual soon . still has current wof and reg . abs light on ( probably the abs pump unit has the model that gives more trouble than most) yukky std 15" wheels . odd style rear indicators might fit the mtec kit to it if i can find the front and rear bumpers and swap the wheels out for some 17" something bmw , german or italian tunner type so will be selling the e34 525i b10 alpina soon as this car is ready to go.

mine rattles away (m20 flywheel with getrag 250 box), but then the idle is a little rough and low . bring the idle up and not so noticable .

i had a e39 528i here a little while ago it ran a little rough at idel and when cold , had a pod type filter that was pretty dirty . i cleaned it out but when i refitted it the car ran like rubbish when cold , so i removed the afm and was looking inside it and notticed the hot film sensors had a decent amount of build up on it , so i just used the k&n filter spray cleaner stuff on it then hosed it out with water , dried it and refitted and it and it ran fine . I had nothing to loose and spares in the shelf if it didn't work

coupe or sedan?? there are adjustments for the window glass height . also if there is a door that has failing or stuffed lcoking soliniod ,the door locks will pop back up so you know there is something thats not locked , check the boot lock , also the petrol flap lock , if they failed to lock they will tell the central locking system so ,

yes just punch it out using a screwdriver etc . you can get the proper ski bag system to go into it ,so as to stop the smells and water dripping into your cabin ,

i used a m20 6.5kg solid flywheel and a uprated modified m20 clutch with a m20 starter . no problems and nice light clutch feel

non , but they are for sale on ebay.com , ebay.de ebay.co.uk

yes , have done it to my car . has cost me a bit over a few years , but have loved doing it (or at least love the power of the m5 engine etc) i have been using mine for a quite a few track days etc . handling and braking have also been addresed. i do have a spare engine now , and they do cost heaps , but makes it such a great car . just in the middle of rebuilding one of the engines . blew a head gasget after 25years of use ( so bare that in mind when buying a used engine) with new custom over sized higher compression pistons recon'd cylinder head with new shrick cams fitting a bigger crank into it , so taking it from a 3453cc to about 3650cc remapped ecu etc shorter diff gearing etc etc . should pull quite well . you can go down the tweeked M30 route , just depends how far you want to go . headers , cams , using a older m90 block and fitting newer larger crank etc custom pistons or std ones , diff change , etc etc . what sort of budget are you thinking .

pretty good cars , parts not to bad , trans maybe will need work at some stage , but maybe swap it out for a manual . engines go for ever as long as you dont overheat them and do regular oil changes etc . so give the cooling system a good going over the odd little electrical fault but nothing that is a surprise to a bmw tech. some interior bits will fall apart , but the leather interiors are better

oh yea i almost forgot about those .how did the e30 coupe shell work out for your mate .

yes , but gets anoying when it happens to a nice mint low millage car yea might have some tyres at my new work place and the picture only shows about 2 thirds of the cars . but sort have you got ?? cheers brent

i say the same when i see a 316iA wrapped around a tree or face first in a ditch

yup engine from a latish e39 535i etc . 5spd box from the states with a light weight ali flywheel ,new clutch etc etc

your not supposed to ask questions . just bid !!!!. looks like you are a busy boy at the moment with your 6spd conversion etc . call down to my work if you want to catch up etc . mange to pick another calipso e34 with a 3.5 v8 and a 5spd manual box in it . coming soon . so will be doing a bit of rat rod with this car below something my wife can bang and scratch around a bit and not be to bothered with

racing dynamics

yes but its a bit tighter in teh e28 shell than the e34

like the ones in the 328i exhaust

try and get a later model one like 1984 onwards , (better set up underneth and inside interior and electrics etc ) keep away from a uk imports . look for rust every where. mechanical and electric stuff is easy to fix rust is not

hopefully will ok on the e28 m535i 17" by 8.5" et13 will use as road wheels with 235/45-17" tyres that are on the wheels that are pictured on the car or with race tyres 225/45-17" or will go on a e34 540i etc when i get one

good work , wanna buy my blue alpina b10 look a like . or have a mate with a few wagons , 520i 5spd . 525ia etc

nice work , wish i could weld like that . na not realy , would rather pay some one to do it for me keep up the good work

well its been a fairly busy 2-3 weeks working here . trying to learn the other brands we sell there , also where evrething is located . organising and hiring new staff , putting systems in place . darn OSH , council requirements etc etc. 2 new hoists in , office still under construction . a lot more shelves to go up . sorting stock , buying new stock etc etc ... went for short flight tonight after work to get a couple of pics . piper cub (like a 2CV with wings) pics a bit blury , hard to hold still and focus with arm out the window at 80-90knots might have to go up another day when the sun is coming up for better light and no wind.
