Well I can't guarantee that the part is inside it that I need, so cheers for the offer Brent but I'll just wait till another one comes along.

Will be hard to make it work since I know whats wrong and cant get the part... Brent could you please take a pic of the back of the SQR49?

Cheers guys for all your help, still on the look out. Hopefully yours is the right one, Brent.

Thanks guys, Yeah would love to keep it mint an original. Thanks Wolliver, is it a Blau Melbourne 36?

Hi Guys, My tape player is a little bit broken. When putting in a tape, it plays forwards then backwards intermittently - varying the sound level of the music playing, and generally just being a a bloody nuisance. I have located the fault - a tiny wee plastic wheel thing is cracked and therefore isn't staying on the spring, and screwing up the inside of the deck. So now my mission is to locate where I can get this part, or, alternatively, get a cheap as Blaupunkt Melbourne SQR 26 tape deck in excellent working order. Someone is bound to have one as plenty will have been replaced by modern CD players etc. Comes out of an 89 E30 316i. Unless, does anyone have any ideas on a rangi job I could do to fix up the wee wheel thingy? I can post photos if anyone needs clarifying. Cheers Em P.S. Just spent $500 on the E30 today so don't go suggesting a new sound set up unless you are willing to gift it to me .

Theres an Alpina Touring for sale here in Dunedin. Used to belong to the former chairman of BMWCC down here (you know who you are ). If i see it around I'll catch the phone number for anyone who's keen?

Sure was me.... and yeah I work at Armstrong in the Uni hols so would have been cleaning it up probably, come say hello if you see me parked or give a toot

Yea marketing is quite useful... Advertising for Saatchi ay ... just starting a Mart paper tommorrow! Better be good Yes on topic well I guess there is no solution.... oh well the end.

To the death my friend! Are you also one of the B Commons? :P 2000... ok. Now we have no reason to moan

Alright then seems there isn't any way around it haha! Can you cut the original NZ plate and stick it on so it at least doesn't look reeeealy rangi? Or is that illegal too? The only thing I hate in Economics is monopolies and their shittty shitty super-normal profits.

Yeah... good idea will probably do that. They can tell the font ay? I managed to get out of a 200 ticket for pleading ignorance before it's probably not worth the risk. The plates just lok stupid blu-tacked to my wall..

Guys. Is there any way around the German plates thing. I saw an idea of sticking your Kiwi plates to them but that is just rangi. 299 is way too much for replating.... What about sticking NZ stikers over top of the german ones?

Nice car, if you ever want to sell give me a yell. 316i's are pretty mint, I have an 89 Coupe... did it come with the wheels?

Gidday Im 18 insured with AMI - costs me $450 per year for full comprehensive.

Maybe not speed and watch the road not look for cops? They are rocking out in anything from 84 Lazers to 98 Hiaces on 18's....

He is right, oh no we wouldn't want Mercedes-Benz bringing the brand image down!

Hey is it sweet if i come pick this up tommorrow? You ok with a 316i and $464.57 ay? Bloody beautiful car!!

What a beautiful car, shame you sold it

Thanks guys... yeah i was after an E30 for a mate yesterday so decided i'd make an appearance. Last night was insane haha.... Awesome Ant, be keen to meet up ay. Jug and burger at the (gasp) newly renovated Cook! Cheers guys... be good to be a bit more frequent round here.

Hey mate this for sale? I'll text a guy whos keen on E30's if so?

Yea you old sh*t happy brithday!

Very nice mate!

Bout as much as they pay for stadiums and Chinese Gardens haha

Id be happy to help write a submission against the monopoly... damn the Govt probably wouldn't allow for a competitive plates market though... Supernormal proifts much crikey

I wouldn't suggest getting German plates anymore guys. I just got pinged $200 for my ones and ordered to take them off. Now my car looks like sh*t... and $400 at plates.co.nz is utter bullshit f**king monpolies
