    taking photos of wet cars is verboten.....
  4. where is the dme in an e36?..i cant think of ANY way,short of submerging my e34 to the bottom of the windows that the dme would even get damp....
  5. in my case about 6 or 7 l of castrol synthetic an oil flter and a car clean,its hardly worth driving to repco....I took our little daihatsu to the toyota dealer..they charged me 100 bucks for the privelige(warranty).An oil service is more than just an oil change tho....
  6. sheesh i spent more than that,didnt have a claybar and ididnt finish!
  7. you could try disconnecting the battery for a time but i doubt it will work.The problem with airbags and airbags sytems is that they can be dangerouus AND they are a safety system.As such they are made NOT user seviceable...if you dont go to the dealer go to a big independent workshop and ask....if you decide to work on it anyway(the airbag system that is)disconnect the battery first......
  8. h1 for low high and fogs.....I presume your bulbs are the equivalent of the hella and phillips 30 and 50 plus variety???I just cant figure out how you get MORE light without increasing wattage,i guess the gas mixture can give an efficiency increase but not by 30 or 50 percent. look up some lighting places eg hella they might have some application charts
  9. i wouldnt mind having a go,want another passenger next time?
  10. he is not asking for your opinion on wether he should do it himself,he is asking for a good place to take it. Three weeks for how many hours work?There must be more to it!
  11. maybe you could make the bulb application chart a bit more applicable to NZ .I havent seen many Buicks and crown Victorias lately,and 88 95 5 series use H1 bulbs not 9005 /9006.A bit more info on the bulbs would be good,too much hid hype for me!!!
  12. museum is in Munich.Its awesome i believe,my non petrol head wife said so!!
  13. i am going to see mike at the surgery and we will go from there.I am insured with vero,i dont think its going to be a problem where i go,aprt from the fact my new job is in upper hutt!The damage is hardly noticeable but i just want ot make sure its done right...I wish sometimes i didnt like my car so much!!!
  14. on the way to work yesterday(i knew i shouldnt have gone in cos i theoretically finished on friday)i was hit from behind by a guy in a mitsi diamante,there doesnt appear to be much damage(unlike his car heheheh)I am tossing up between the surgery (quality work but a bit inconvenient),or blair wright waterloo quay....any comments?.
  15. it is something to do with the low beam pattern,e 34's have it too
  16. yes i have heard this meths trick too..the alcohol actually absorbs the water somehow and it is "burnt" along with the petrol/alcohol mixture
  17. the fusible link near the battery can crack and cause this sort of behaviour fusible link
  18. have you ever tried a slim jim on a beemer..i thought they were supposed to be wimdow smash material esp if they are deadlocked!
  19. ahaa we live and learn thanks gus,i wil stick to fives from now on
  20. no sways or not stiffer?i assume(=dangerous)would be save as fives.......
  21. mtech would also have (stiffer) sways as well
  22. in the nicest possible way of course!!!.Ask them to show you in the "book" where it says a warning on the dash prevents you from getting a warrant!

    Early e34 535's

    i am sure that if you emailed mark at eat chips he would do a swap.I have talked to him about this and he reckons that he could do a chip for our "open loop" cars ScD are you interested in my dme #? Most of the guys at the bimmer info e 34 forum seem to think the exhaust and intake arent too bad for the stock engine...dont get an increase rpm limit for the old m30
