  1. Hi, I've got a good M60B30 from an E34 available. Let me know if you still need one. Cheers, Ernie
  2. There are ten (count 'em in the photo) buttons for each front seat control. Now that's something for you Teutonic control freaks out there!
  3. I have nice tidy E23 that I am selling on behalf of a friend. We're both very fond of this car and would like to see it go to a good home. 1986 E23 735i New Zealand new Only 178,000 km Excellent 3.5 litre M30 engine Electric sunroof Fog lights Original owners manual Nearly complete tool kit First aid kit in the rear seat armrest. The kit includes all the supplies still in their original plastic bags and a handy multi-lingual book on first aid. Rare Water Buffalo Leather interior; an entire herd of water buffalo must have given their lives for this car. There is leather everywhere: door cards, dash, center console, etc. The seats are in excellent shape other than two holes in the backrest of the driver's seat. The leather is slightly stained in a couple of places and is nicely worn in but does not look shabby. The tyres (Bridgestones on the front and Michelins on the back) have good tread on them Haven't found any rust anywhere on the car Recent transmission service Well maintained Runs and drives very well; comfortable and stable at speed. Dependable. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in and drive anywhere in the country in it. I also have a BMW towbar available for this car as well; it just bolts right in to existing mount points. There is no need to drill any holes. Due to some SI board swapping, the trip computer no longer reports fuel consumption. The body is very straight and tidy but there is a small dent repair on the left front fender. The paint has peeled and a bit of the bog has been chipped away. It's not really noticeable from a few meters away but it really should be fixed properly. The clearcoat is faded to the point of being effectively gone on the the bonnet, roof, and boot lid. The base color is still all there and there is no rust. I have been quoted $600 to repaint all of this. These panels really just look faded, unlike most cars with missing clear coat. There are a variety of light cracks in the dash. There is a light clunk in the front suspension. I suspect it's a top mount. Current rego and WOF. It's not perfect but it is a very good original classic sharknose BMW The car can be available to view and test drive anywhere between Timaru and Christchurch. $2,700 ONO Call or send me a PM if you have any questions. 027 55 55 116
  4. Cool. Do you have a radio unit like this? I need the upper cassette / head unit, not the lower unit with the channel buttons.
  5. I have a set of ACS 18" wheels in case you're interested.
  6. I have a nice Bilstein spring and damper set up on this 328i I'm parting out. Send me a PM if you are interested.

    WTB: E23

    PM sent regarding the E23 that Christian mentioned.
  8. I recently removed the seat belts from an E30 coupe. The bits seemed surprisingly heavy so I put everything (5 belts with retractors, mounting bolts, steel rails that mount to floor, etc.) in a box and weighed it in the interest of science. 6.1kg in case you're interested.
  9. I'm parting out an E36 328i with a full set of Bilstein struts and Bilstein lowering springs. The car has only 132,000km on it but I don't know the age of the struts. The car is very tidy and rides and handles nicely. Get in touch if you're interested. Cheers, Ernie 027 55 55 116
  10. I have a bunch of bottlecaps as well as steelies here in Christchurch. Your cheapest option would be a pair of steel wheels with no longer warrantable tyres, which is something I have. PM or TXT me if you're interested. Cheers, 027 55 55 116
  11. I had a similar project last year: a PFL 325 auto that I converted to a manual. I converted the engine from Motronic 1.0 to 1.3 which allowed me to get rid of the bellhousing sensors, among other things. It was pretty straightforward. E30zone has a page that tells you everything you need to know about it.
  12. I had a custom clutch pipe made for my E30 last year. It took less than an hour and cost me $34.50.
