    The yellow macca in wellington would have to be up there.

    Shame that XP4 (sorry, I'm a Mclaren anorak) got sold overseas - it was the car that originally set the speed record of 231.8mph.

    Anyone else read that F1 LM's are now valued at over 14million NZD? f**k me that is appreciation - nearly a 5 fold increase in value over 12 or so years

    theres a guy my dad knows somewhere near auckland with one of denny hulmes original can am cars thats gotta be worth sh*t loads i have seen it at his house before but i was young enough to not take note of how special it was

    I would get that checked...could be a number of things causing that

    yea im pretty sure im catching it early as its usually not noticable

    but after being warned how much a failure on these cars can cost ive been on the lookout for anything that could be a hint of anything wrong

    i will prob get it serviced in the next couple of weeks as im changing jobs so holiday pay coming my way

    thanks this is all very helpful

    i was told it could be quite expensive as they have to do manual adjustments in the gearbox to account for wear in the parts and that takes alot of time. is this true

    also the reason i want to get it serviced is because if you very slowly increase throttle when stopped just as the torque converter starts to transfer power it shudders slightly under intial acceleration kind of the feeling you get when you have a misfire but as you put a little more power down it comes right

    Just recently ive been heading into pikapart, for my poor wee toyota that is packing up at the moment, and out of curiousity i thought id head to the bmw section, and WHAT A SHOCK HORROR, it is AMAZING to see whats been put to waste !!!!!

    Any one else came across some thing and gasped

    2 Door Manual e30, Nothing has been touched, in pretty good nick too, just looks as if its dereged, what a waste

    a manual e34, hasnt been touched. also good nick. also, what a waste.

    So if anyones gunna want cheap manual conversion parts for the e34, or the 2door e30, pikapart tauranga is where its happening

    i remember at one stage this year there were three good nick 7 series there 2 x 735 and a 740

    although now that i need bits for one none to be found

    of all the pick a parts tga must be the best

    would have been good if they made one in hamilton but they got refused resource consent

    Noooooo. paint it black will looks 20 times better in my opinion.

    Awesome car by the way! Hope it serves you well, And to think only 16 years ago that car was proberbly in excess of $250,000!

    yea i have had the same opinion from a few other people

    so would probably go black and for the fact that its uber hard to find crinkle red paint these days

    i might get a can of satin black and paint the rest of the plastic like fan shroud etc

    although i havent had a good look at it it might come up nice with some armorall

    as was posted earlier the yellow comes from the factory coating

    was it yellowish from factory ?? or just tarnished that way

    also one of the main problems im facing is the key is one of the spring loaded flick out ones

    but has been broken so i only got given the metal piece from inside it which is annoying as theres very little piece to hold and leverage is crap

    can anyone tell me whether i could just replace the plastic piece or would i need a whole new key

    if i got a new key is a bmw dealership the only place to get them and how much can i expect to pay for one

    thanks

    the yellow stuff is actually a protective coating applied by the factory,called cosmoline.There are some realy good resources for the e32 750 this guy in particular.Dont be confused by the e 34 forum.The e32 and the e34 have a lot in common.

    thanks he seems to have a vast knowledge

    i was thinking of either cleaning the yellow off and re clear coating them to look like plain aluminium (not polishes)

    and i was also thinking painting the center plastic cover either crinkle red or black keeping bmw symbols and the other silver pieces

    Yeah was watching that one too to see what it would go for, came up just after i got mine.

    How much did you get it for if you don't mind me asking?

    I got the same alloys as you and i quite like them. Should start a 750i club :D

    just over $2k

    im looking at some some bigger mags as these dont do it for me

    i might ask the guy in auction number #184943986

    if he will sell wheels seperatly
