  1. Cut n paste from the lvvta cert threshold doc

    ▪ the springs or shock absorbers are direct replacements, and:

     replacement springs are contained within unmodified OE seats throughout full

    suspension travel; and

     replacement springs are self-retaining in their seats at full extension, without use of

    non-standard devices such as wire-ties, straps, or external spring locators; and

     replacement springs have not been heated or cut; and

     springs and spring seats are not height adjustable by any means (unless OE); and

     suspension maintains sufficient travel for safe operation; and

     suspension components maintain sufficient clearance from unmodified bump-stops

    when fully laden; and

     a minimum of 100 mm ground clearance (un-laden and without driver) exists below

    any part of the vehicle structure, or any steering, braking or suspension component

    (does not include such items as exhaust pipes and exterior body panels that do not

    contribute to the structural strength of the vehicle); and

     the normal relationship between front and rear suspension height is not unduly

    affected; and

     clearance is maintained between all components, when tested from lock to lock at

    full droop; and

     suspension retains at least 40 mm of rebound (droop) wheel travel (Note 6).

    Note: Strut or spring spacers always require certification.

    Note: The only other allowable methods of adjusting vehicle ride height without LVV certification are

    leaf spring blocks (as per below requirements) or adjustment of OE equipment (torsion bars or OE

    adjustable air suspension).

    Note: When determining if there is sufficient suspension travel remaining, consideration must be given

    to the vehicle being in use and fully-laden.

    Note: Sufficient clearance must be maintained from the travel-limiting bump stop (not an OE spring

    aid). The spring aid and/or bump stop must not be modified. A spring aid is a low-density conformable

    material that is fitted inside a coil spring or above a leaf spring by a vehicle manufacturer to assist the

    spring, and acts as the bump stop only once it is fully compressed. The spring aid may be contacted at

    any loading condition to increase the vehicle’s spring rate, but the vehicle must retain sufficient wheel

    travel. A bump stop is a small high-density rubber bumper that is designed to stop vehicle suspension

    or driveline components from coming into contact with the vehicle structure at the extremes of its

    suspension travel, and is not designed to carry the load of the vehicle for sustained periods of time.

    Note: Rebound wheel travel should be measured as the difference between the distance from the top

    of the tyre and the wheel arch with the vehicle resting on the ground, and the top of the tyre to the

    wheel arch with the vehicle lifted so that its tyres are clear of the ground (suspension hanging in full

    rebound). This difference must be greater than 40 mm.

    Note: A vehicle can be LVV certified with less than 100 mm ground clearance provided that there is

    sufficient suspension travel.


  2. Single owner NZ new. Full service history. All the bells and whistles. Heads up display, bigger msport brakes, motorsport bodykit, heated seats, etc. 

    Was mainly used for trips to Tauranga and Rotorua. 

    Has developed an issue with the camera based driver assistant system. (KAFAS)

    Adaptive cruise control, auto headlights, lane assist are effected. Car still runs and drives fine. 

    Currently sorting repair. Will sell cheaper not repaired 

     

     

    Has some minor curbing, some stone chips on the front bumper(very minimal)

     

    Listing on behalf of my Dad. 

    Has just had a pre purchase inspection done by Coombes Johnston bmw. Happy to send a copy. 

     

    Can be viewed in Hamilton.

  3. 1. Depends how you want to do the crank case ventilation. Think the only other part is the throttle body. 

    2. I think I've swapped and changed willy nilly. M3 filter housing fits both so surely should work.

    3. Sorta depends on how close it comes to the plastic and gasket. Which turbo, manifold and downpipe are you going with. I haven't got a working turbo e36 so I'm just keyboard bashing 

    Are you wanting the m50 loom because you've got a pnp standalone that needs it?
