  1. Where??? It's not an SE. It looks like a South African 325i which had extras like the leather seats, cruise control and OBC. I bought a nearly identical car two years ago in similar looking condition (maybe better). I paid $3500, it wasn't a "bargain" and prices have moved since then. Poorer examples have dropped in price through the floor, and good condition (read very good condition) cars have held, or even jumped a little. I'd say if it is the same as the one I bought 2 years ago, you need to be looking at offering the seller $3k max. Unless it has has regular services, cambelt and tensioner and water pump done recently, and you get the feeling it has been lovingly cared for. I don't get that feeling from the auction.
  2. Better. And I didn't think that was possible!
  3. That's not a motorsport, but it is a tidy example, and may have had some of the msport options installed. Reasons: 4-door, standard front kit, standard rear kit and spoiler, non-msport side skirts, looks like standard ride height. If you were careful in your choice of wheel, you wouldn't devalue the car, but that would be hard in a 17" wheel as already stated. Your car looks mint btw.
  4. It will only devalue it if it is a full msport car with LSD etc in original condition. If you plan on doing other mods, or it already has some, then keeping the weaves won't make much of a difference. If it were me, knowing the value of the weaves, store them, run your 17's and just put the weaves back on when you sell it down the line.
  5. So fukn tough - I love it.
  6. Looks like the inside of Wills e36 before he finished the wiring.
  7. ++ Jochen has been a member here for some time now and the boy is a f**kn magician when it comes to nav.
  8. 1st time I've actually seen an iX off road lol.
  9. Around 160mm at lowest point ±10mm or so.
  10. Hey Shelley. I think what 320 guy is saying is: You are a n00b. :P Hah Best thread in a while.
  11. I usually design the box so that it is a snug fit and won't move once installed, but in the case where you already have a box, I've seen a few options. One I liked the most though, was a piece of webbing strap (like on a backpack or school bag), fatstened to the box or car and then a dome button at the other end so it is just a case of press on and its fixed. These domes wear out though, but there are dozens of other options like "stay-puts" used on canvas awnings or clips and buckles. The strap and buckle are black and should blend in and look ok. You should be able to get way with one or two attached to the sides.
  12. You're right, but his car is e21. e21's have the K mechanical injection on the m20. So yes, going the newer (I can never sort out the version numbers) post '88 motronic motor and ecu, you'll be sorted as regards those sensors.

    Alarms

    Summary of those previos alarm threads: 4-star: Recommended Dynatron D4800 or Mongoose M60 5 Star: Recommended Dynatron D5800 or Monoose M80 Others are also OK though. The consensus was that the installers skill mattered more than the alarm brand, and don't advertise which alarm you have - put a sticker from a different alarm on your window to confuse the crooks. A bad install will make a good alarm rubbish and vice versa.
  14. Please think about it before touching the keyboard. If you have enough people, you can produce food, goods, whatever locally and thus save on transport. A small, isolated island nation with limited local production relying mostly on exports in one or two industries and tourism for its economy must transport almost everything. In the UK economies of scale allow much more local produce to be sold locally. More fuel tax is not the magic solution to woo people to biofuels. The majority of nz would alread buy a car that could run on it if they could regardless of it being cheaper as with the exception of enthusiasts of particular models, noone drives a 10yo clapped out import by choice. The government is f**ktarded if it thinks its going to force those who currently can't afford a car upgrade to upgrade by making it more expensive to own the car they can barely afford now. No matter how cheap biofuel is compared to regular - do you think even most people on this site can afford a newish car? Count the e30's.
  15. Yes but in the UK they have a larger population base, so can transport goods with greater economies of scale, and they have cheaper transport like rail.
  16. Increasing fuel tax to the point it becomes painful will not work. There are a huge amount of commercial vehicles that will be forced to pass on the costs to the consumer. The price of everything rises. The cost of livving rises. Wages rise to meet this. There's a name for this trend??? Oh thats right - inflation. Increased petrol tax doesn't help congestion, or the environment, it helps inflation. JP - if your tongue is in your cheek I forgive you, but personal insurance? Suing people for harm? Move to America. But I agree, ACC shouldn't be levied out of your pay as part of income tax, your fuel as part of fuel excise, your car as part of your registration (and then not once, but 2, 3, 4, 5 times if you have more than one car, a motorbike or two, etc, etc) You can only drive/ride one of them at a time, so why pay acc on all at once?
  17. NZ Herald As if it weren't bad enough that if we want to run a decent octane fuel in our cars we have to pay more, now they want to tax higher octane fuels even more to remove the tax on a low octane biofuel alternative. Time to write to your MP.

    E30 wheels

    Those are cool. Yes they will fit fine Em.
  19. You wouldn't want to be in it when that happened.
  20. Good Luck with the sale Pam. The saddest thing is going to be no more violet e36 cruising the streets of takas late at night full of blokes with the melodic renditions of Aqua blasting out the windows.
