I wonder how far up the road the engine went.
-
I recall this being for sale a few years ago. I think the owner also had a 1UZ 540i at the time. Its good value, even with the cosmetic issues. Would tidy up well.

4-seat madness for sale in Welly - X6M for a reasonable price!
KwS replied to TermiPeteNZ's topic in TradeMe discussions
Have seen this around a few times, and quite frankly it should be burned to the ground. The black one is at least as BMW intended, so the ugly i their fault. That blue one is an ugly someone actually wanted to add to it. -

Its cheaper than an M5 because its just that ugly. -
Please explain it to us.

Still yet to come across any Japanese cars with bolts, so not all "Modern well engineered cars" have them. Or are you just showing your ignorant bias and meaning European cars?
-
I too have used Beisan seals, on two cars now and the quality is great. The guides on the site are generally good too (with the exception of the S50B30 euro, which i have advised Raj was wrong and he abused me for it and still hasnt updated it). I would be very wary about buying something so important from a random ebay seller. You just dont know what you will actually get.

Why do i feel like the username has also been on this forum before?

Black one is a Vitesse with the later deep front spoiler. The other one is a Vanden Plas EFI with the standard Series 2 spoiler.
-
The same way i did when i had a BMW, lots of degreaser
-
I have a pair. V8 of course
-
Got around to buying a pair of Germanplates for one of my Rovers the other week. $130 shipped for a pair with frames. Will never be able to justify the $370 for "legit" euro plates. Sure, the font isnt the same, but ill take the risk.

Just a reminder of how good this car looked before Andy sold it. Dont be disheartened, its an awesome wagon.
-
@Timythenerd I hope Andy doesnt mind, but this is what he said when i asked about them. I hope this helps. Interesting to note he mentioned the standard temp gauge worked, so it must have been wired correctly back then.
-
Im really glad its gone to someone that will continue building the car up, instead of just trashing it. Some of the issues you mentioned were answered by Andy when i was originally looking to buy the car from him, and may not be an easy fix without more custom work (the tailgate wiring and heater/AC comes to mind). Ill keep checking in on this thread for progress; i look forward to seeing it.
-
Im sure when i first clicked the link when it was posted, the reserve/buy now was something like $1500. Obviously saw how many views he was getting and upped the price. I dont think 2k is unreasonable for it though. Coupe, 318IS MSport, manual, lush M-Rain vader interior. Be worth more in parts.
-
Heh, removing context makes it a whole lot different. /What am I, 12?
-
damnit, i shouldve checked the forum a couple of weeks ago and got this instead of the MX5. If its still around in a month or so i'd be keen, but looks like youre probably going to be rid of it by then.
-
I love the ///M fabric interiors in M cars, so much better than leather. That purple and the interior, plus being an M5. So much win.
-
Strictly speaking its a manual.

E61 Touring 545 almost complete vehicle $2500 (Damaged)
KwS replied to LemonHunter's topic in TradeMe discussions
"Like 90% of E60/61 Sunroof models theyr common for sunroof drains blocking and flooding floor of car, this one had that aswell as the LH shuttle drains blocked which filled up the ecus with water. Non accident damaged" Lots of electrics live on in the floor pans on these things. -
Can you feel if the inlet and outlet hoses of the heater core are getting hot when the coolant is?
-
ooooooooooh, please tell me this isnt the same stock and very tidy one i saw doing the daily run each day? Looks dumb on those wheels, the stock ones suited it better. Always saw him driving around, and swooned over the iX.
-
The E36 M3 Evo is also well known for having weak bottom end bearings too. Theyre just highly strung engines that need care.
-
What an amazing project that would be. Not keen on the LHD personally, but would be worth converting. I wonder if it has any relation to this thread? Cant be many of this limited model in NZ? http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e34-m5-discussion/67913-1992-e34-m5-lightweight-8.html
