someone should save that

• I have a project E30 that I am happy to let go, it is pre facelift, south african 325i sedan, leather recaro interior, but still needs some work to finish, $1500

welcome Andy

We must be overdue for a Welly meet

Cheers...Stephen

his number is 478 0448

It is a few years now since I used him last but worth a try. His work was very good

Magfix in Newlands, guys name is Chris, if I remember I will try to find his number at work tomorrow

You can get a kit with all the linkages, bushes etc from Pelican Parts

I was driving through Napier on Friday and there was an Alpine White, prefacelift coupe parked up with forsale signs. No kit or anything, if I was guessing probably a 318 auto, but it looked tidy (I did not stop and look) I think they were asking $900?

Maybe someone in Napier knows the car?

So what you replacing it with, Paul?

can do both, In Welly though

So many options! I am +1 for turn off at Ngarawhahia, and stay on that road south through Te Kuiti, Te Awamutu, then south through National Park, Papaparas, Wanganui, down to Welly. Google it. Seven hours but less if you are "testing the performance". You can go through New Plymouth, fantastic roads (and all sealed) from Te Awamutu to NP, but this will take much longer. (Especially if you break your throttle cable like I did).

why don't you come to Welly for a weekend and check it out?

And what is this about Dunedin being cold? Have you had a look outside today?

this?

Is the rear bumper perfect?

Asteron Centre, Opposite the railway station

(Sighs loudly) I couldn't find a 530d Touring for love or money last year.

Now they are common as a party dress on the way to the Sevens(they be strolling past my window all day)

pm'd

Bump

can you post up the options and prices? it is a long post to look through...

So I needed to do a visit in our offices in Palmerston North, New Plymouth, Hamilton, Tauranga and Havelock North. Fine weather beckoned so I took the Baur on a road trip. Made Palmie in good time from Welly, a couple of hours work and then on the road to New Plymouth, three hours, all good. A couple of hours work there and on the road to Hamilton. Thirty minutes up the road and bang, the throttle cable snaps. No cell phone reception in the valley, but no problem, just jerry rig the throttle to 3/4 open, and off we go! Car cruised happily at 100kph on the straights, but slowed to 50kph on the uphill, down to second gear in places! Downhill was another matter entirely - good thing that BMW have good brakes! And 50 kph through the towns, in second gear, 5000 revs...

Anyway, made it to Hamilton and parked up the night. The good folk at Mosen Euro managed to sort it out for me Tuesday morning and I was on my way again. So thanks to Mike and the guys there - I appreciate your help!

Be back in Wellington soon with just the sunburn to show for it!

That has to be the best tm narrative for a while!

Guys looking for a cheap or free 885 head, doesn't matter if it is cracked or warped or anything.

Anything about?

Cheers...Stephen

I want to cut it open so prefer one that is no longer usable, even for a road car...

ok let me know if he does not take it

maybe, does it come complete including all Motronic gear, ecu etc ? How much?

_{fmic? ?? wtf?}

_{Front mount intercooler perhaps?}

_{If so, suggest you talk to Speedtech Motorsport in Seaview.}

I can't believe how many were on the one piece of road in such a short period of time.

Caravans I mean - they just get in the way!
