  1. both of you overpaid. they are available either on the shelf or overnight at you local Mag and Turbo store, $50 for four.
  2. look forward to meeting you, have had 4 750iLs, though all a few generations older than yours!
  3. Awesome work mate! I used his hoops in my conversion, they required different bolts and spring washers as the ones provided weren't up to standard, also remember to leave the carpet out before presenting the car.
  4. something like 450Nm from memory. My fully charged DeWalt didn't have a chance on the last M52 I tried. you need a breaker bar to get the first crack, rattle gun or similar willl be fine after that.
  5. sorry, late to the party, but if it helps a subsequent member, I can do brand new Yellowspeed coilovers for $1400 4 corners. I run them in my E36 compact and now my E30 coupe. couldn't be happier. Edit: strut pickup of the sway bar on both, but can do control arm pickup if needed (default option)
  6. correct. Sounds like ill give season 25 of top gear a whirl then.
  7. as I said above, not worth the diesel to collect it. Edit: though that doesn't mean they get away with saying they are coming to get it and then no show.

    Gissa job!

    just a thought, when I get CVs that sniff of currently unemployed, rightly or wrongly, they are safely filed in the rubbish recycling. perhaps drop the available for immediate start if you think it might help too ?
  9. could be wrong, but when the pump fails (and the ECU realises) doesn't the AC fan come on full tit ?
  10. can't be done. just use OE E30. stiffer than OE will only make an already tail happy car become more so. In the E30 I throw about, I run OE in the back, and down rated to the 318i unit in the front.
  11. I ALWAYS use FedEx. they call you within 12 hours of your parcel being picked up in Berlin/California, so you have paid your clearance before it even hits New Zealand. USPS is just another state owned lethargic company, that feeds into NZ Post, probably the worst freight company in NZ. UPS is marginally better (delivered by Flyways in the Wellington region, but not sure if thats nationwide), but still won't call you till it arrives at the border.
  12. 3 sometimes 4 times a week for the past 5 years or so ha.
  13. late to the party here sorry. thanks for the tag Kelvin. I do have stickers that I had made up (and continue to get made up), they are free of charge to anyone that I sold plates to as the first few batches were of dubious sticker quality. I no longer sell the stickers, or the complete plates since the warning I recieved. I have thought of revising since the company that sent me it is no longer in business, however price won't be the $60 or so it once was.
  14. I bet there are many that have been done
  15. Have done a lengthy PM to you
  16. can someone please post a picture, link to, or provide a part number of the video module? My X5 4.4i is also exactly as described! (jappa too)
  17. Fee to set up mine was half of that, and included transfer of not only property but other assets too. Definitely worth doing, I have had so many mates burnt by ex partners, in one case a wife, I don't know your personal circumstances nor do I want to, but if the reason you want to set one up is because of a relationship is about to break up, the trust offers no protection if the courts decide (rightly or wrongly) that the sole intention of setting it up was to avoid what would otherwise be your obligations. This can also extend to when completed just before entering in a relationship or if the time is right for them to move in etc, depending how good their lawyer is. It is also very important to set up any payments that flatmates and/or partners pay towards upkeep of the asset or the household (e.g. bills), as they MUST be structured correctly.
  18. Yeah not sure, I swear almost every sentence when around mates etc, I don't even realise I'm doing it, but NEVER online, and never in a professional capacity.

    lol i dont know what IT industry you work in, but it must not be New Zealands....
  20. The SI batteries in them are also common to fail now they are 30 years old. If your car has been owned by an enthusiast it is likely they have been changed already, otherwise they are worth thinking about.
  21. yes some are on there, but the BMWCCNZ only events are club members only, not on Bimmersport
  22. For what its worth Chris is very easy to deal with if anyone is considering this car. Ive seen it.
  23. walk in rate more or less a dollar a kilo I think, though I sell direct to the exporter now.
  24. Don’t know the reasearcb but have an M10 flywheel lying about if that helps (actually most of a conversion
