For some reason every time jeremy said "the baby jesus" i lol'd. If those 3 weren't presenting the show would be rubbish. There is also another epp that was released a week before this one where they go to America in 458, SLS, GT3 RS. Also rather funny i especially liked Richards digg at the stig in this epp.

around 600km in city (with some mway) and 800 on open road (72L tank)

goes enough for me ..... the engine is used is an option in pretty much every serries bmw, many people think it to be the best mid range engine bmw have ever produced. finding parts is no issue if there was a problem and they are probably cheaper than parts for the v8 i would think.

Sail away into a paddock which it will then get stuck in.

pretty sure the nazi wagon is gona win this one haha.

What color are they currently and do they just clip in?

already a put a multimeter across the 2 that could possibly be power .... but as hotwire has said there is no battery/acc feed.

dammit routing the wire is gonna b a pain in the ass, pity there is no sunroof wiring

you would be lucky to get one for that money .... i couldn't find a DECENT 330ci manual when i was looking with a budget of 20k

1 word .... Drool

defiantly rip the band expander out and change settings on the radio (you can do this doesn't require tools) .... will probably give you a considerable boost in radio quality. Amazing how stupid some dealers are that think they have to put a band expander in everything when there is a free and much better option.

Contact HELLBM or European Car Parts (forums sponsors) im 99% sure one of them will have one. Also im pretty sure they used exactly the same part in the E38 7 serries.

i was quoted $800 from a dealer for chch-akl

what car is it? u mentioned 2009 im pretty sure nothing that new runs ibus and therefore cant be used with navcoder?

LED's for Angel eyes in. IRL they dont look as bright as they do in this photo ... much more defined. Very happy with it looks much more modern. LED's are MTEC v2.1 they arn't cheap but supposed to be the best and have massive heatsinks to prevent overheating.

If you're in auckland go see gavin at euro-italian (sponsor) he may be able to get one cheaper than a stealer.

So I'm wiring in the V1 to where the lights are above the dash. Conveniently i can't find the damn multimeter so.... can anyone shed some light on the following wiring: Plug going the the light box directly above the shifter. Brown Brown w/ Yellow Stripe Red w/ Blue Stripe Red w/ Yellow Stripe Grey w/ Red Stripe I'm Guessing Brown (ground) Red w/ Yellow (battery) Can anyone confirm this? ('02 E39)

tbh i would say that is an ok payout for a 208k car.

has anything been pushed back into the engine? if the leather interior is reasonable theres 500bux right there ... adds up pretty quick.

holy ___ thats insane, seeing how they put the entire drivetrain in all at once is nuts.

also if you have somewhere to wreck it might be worth buying it back off the insurance company ... they would probably sell it for about 1k if its good condition and the crash didnt totally destroy it you could easily make a profit and then have a disposal company come get whats left (ushally for free).

I have ski pass and folding seats i can see how not having either of these would be an issue tho ... there is alot of foam noise deadening in there.

Mine is Non-DSP, you cant really upgrade the factory amp AFAIK it has all the crossovers etc built in. I dont really like having one in the boot either you can get "compact versions" the kicker ones are really good (altho exspensive) they have a nice skinny box that can be push back against the seats.

At what point is it recomended that one starts running a Cap in the setup?
