I got a pair of axel stands if u resort to it.

are they the right centre bore for the e39 or are they suitable for e90 3 series? what about the offsets? friend might be keen

Ok thanks thats helpful. Not too far too

Ok will check o2 sensors. Dad told me knock sensor has been replaced.

Like i said i have no idea what im talking about lol. Will look into the things mentioned. Thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByUDpYbawwY randomly stumbled upon this e30 clip even though i started youtube by watching a phone review...

I've had very bad experience with subtech in penrose, and i live pretty close to there. wont be going back. not saying hes bad or not nice, just not a good experience and its just my personal case. Ok, will have a look into the O2 sensor. cheers its actually driven by my dad most of the time and he hasnt said anything about the fuel economy. it seems to be about the same. have just done a fresh oil and filter change so i will keep an eye on the oil usage. not losing any coolant and car has never overheated. i havent checked for white smoke but i dont think so. will check. i know about the headgasket failure problems on these cars. Have previously owned 1 years ago that didnt overheat but i was a total car noob back then. probably had no water in the tank. to the best of my knowledge the car as no headgasket/overheating issue (yet!). we always make sure there is enough water and the engine temp gauge has never gone past the midpoint so far. yes, always run on caltex or bp 95 (not bp 98). I am thinking it might be the spark plugs too. they probably havent been replaced in years. even though i mentioned above that i dont think there is a overheating/headgasket issue, could water in the engine cause the spark plugs to get wet and cause the misfire(?) and it goes away after some time as the water is evaporated? (dont really know what im talking about here lol) We have had the whole radiator and cooling system drained (to the best it possible could be, apparently some design flaw in which its super hard to drain from the heater core because its located higher up than the rest of the system?.. had the car on a steep angle to do this and it was refilled properly.. or so im told) anyways, im pretty sure the heater isnt clogged anymore after all that ^ the cambelt? is due soon i believe, i will take a look at the timing belt and covers but seems okay from what i can see lol. and yes, i agree they are great motors. i know there is a lot of hate for them because of the notorious overheating blown headgasket issue but like any other car, looked after well they're not so bad. apparently there is an updated steel plated gasket or something that prevents this issue. // anyways thanks for all the help so far on a BMW forum. much better to get local advice that one from some random guy behind a keyboard halfway across the world

Not sure where to put this so ill try here admins feel free to move it. As our work wagon we have a 1996 subaru legacy 250t. Done 173,000 kms now and had it for about a year. From a while ago, the car has been struggling to acccelerate. Its only when the car is cold. But warming it up doesnt help. It goes away after a minute of driving though so its not that bad.. It feels like the car has no power and it like sputters along. Kind of like its not receiving enough fuel? Any ideas? Thanks in advance

^ what nick said. not usually a fan but looks surprisingly good for some weird reason love the mini too

could i use this to spray paint my phone's plastic chrome trim? just a thought....

the OP asked a low level question. so ill answe a low level answer: JAPAN import bmw is 'better'. end of discussion.

where does one acquire this.. 'krylon' paint? looks very neat.

Looks nice. Would buy but no parking space... what more options did the other one have? Looks very nice that one

Lmao! Howd u find that!!

lol u didnt have the bargaining power becacuse i bet you couldnt keep a poker face once you saw it in real life!! the seller didnt need to know that you were so keen on that colour lol.. you could have said that the colour was the 1 thing that you didnt like

so basically its just a straight line sew with red and teal then zig zag the purple thread inbetween? sounds easy enough... easily said than done though im sure

those wheels look nice but they're stupidly heavy and imo 18's look better with a decent amount of rubber on it. better handling and more comfort. personal preferences though! do what you want its your car! but please bring it to the next meet im dying to see it in real life

yea i was thinking the same. all good thanks

Better wheel options for less dollars than those imo.

The wheel gap is real!! Will look great once lowered. Nice choice of wheels

any update on this?

concave goodness

What are they worth? 17 inch bmw style 18s a set of 4 withlut tyres but near new condition. Thanks

Sick pictures dude!! That black and white pic with the red brake lights is awesome!!

Apparently lawyers think theres no case or they dont wana do it. They said pointless to go after compliance guys. If anything go after the aa inspection team or the guy whos id was used on the trademe ad even though he was just listing on behalf of someone.. I duno she said she cbf and might just sell the car cheap for someone to fix.. Its such a nice car though.. what a shame
