you should catch up with Tom Delahunty he has a 335i manual wagon he's thinking of parting ways with

ask someone from Pakistan how environmentally friendly lithium mining is, they will show you photos that will appall you.

if they are only $95 new i will start running mine again, i thought they were around the $3-400 mark

These kinds of problems are always hard to diagnose on the internet.

i have found M50s not running right or at all is usually crank position sensor either failed or just grubby usually from oil leaking from every orifice on the engine. and if not that next best bet is the air flow meter. There are two pin configurations for them, and other engine sizes don't work.

Did you replace the O ring where the ICV tube connects to the manifold, and is that fitting clipped in correctly? they often break off when disturbed, so it isn't sealing right. Also check the intake boot thoroughly for cracks. check oil cap is on nice and snug and dipstick is in the tube correctly. Have you tried scanning the car?

whine could be feedback coming through the speakers from dying alternator perhaps?

If it is the Jatco auto in them they are known for clunking at the best of times, but will go another 150,000 no worries.

there is a E34 bushing removal tool in the throw out bin at BNT in Lower Hutt if you need it. i thought about getting it myself but unlikely to own another E34 now, and even if i do the odds of using it are ??

Hi Guys, Looking for a lower Shifter arm for an E30 with G260 gearbox. one end (gearbox end) is longer than the other.

I ordered one that new *should* be correct for the car but as it not factory manual not totally sure whats been used in the kit.

Photos with measurements, i know the tape looks like it doesnt line up in photos but it does!

Otherwise will repair this one but rather not.

oh twentyseven 30793 double too

Cheers

anyone have a link please 

so that i can report and get it taken down....... obviously

So plates actually cost less than $23.15.

And the plate monopoly in NZ charges hundreds and hundreds, up to a thousand dollars. I wonder how much tax and margin we're actually paying on these things?

while those here that know me off bimmersport whille know i hate monopolies, always caused by government intervention, there are actually times when monopolies are for the best. There is a lot more to it that what you say. the admin costs would be infinately higher if there were 3 or four companies all doing it. There is stilla bricks and morter office, and graphic designers dont come cheap. Its very easy to identify the costs we know, but there are doubtless ones we dont.

And unlike selling apples or televisions, every sale you make is dimminishing supply, they cant sell the same plate twice.

While i do think they charge a lot, they amount of plates on the road (and indeed my driveway) will say that for many people they are worth the price.

u can just pay $369 for any "euro" plate and go to a sign shop and get a custom sticker printed and apply it on top. Heaps of people have done it and there is nothing wrong with that.

technically that is illegal

Cant remember what car it was i think maybe an E46 the one that went for a swim in a mud pool in rotorua that would be the worst I've seen of yours!

Would your mate sell just fronts? Only need them for now and get the rears later. Can get them from ECS tuning but shipping is killer

No just a spare set of coupe sides

yes just fronts is no problem

Coil overs are easy, my mate is importer for Yellowspeed which I run in my car. 

Skirts are unobtanium

try the BMW dealer tho you might be surprised

Pah that’s nothing you should see @mellowpuf s old 325tds which now lives at my house 

has toadstools growing out of the back seat

Probably have one out the back of garage, all yours if you want to battle the blackberry to get it out

The Friday morning in Wellington saw us at chez Andy @_ethrty-Andy_ who despite having a busy morning preparing parts for transport to Taupo, somehow found time to change the oil for us (I was hopelessly incorrectly dressed for under-car crawling). What came out was black - definitely time for a change. Sadly, that well-known mechanic Edward Gorillahands had fitted the oil filter and it proved impossible to change that too. Still, clean oil and an old filter is better than old oil and an old filter.

Happy to help, was pretty feral oil! Could have got it off with enough persuasion but hot exhaust and splashing oil would have been enevitable, and not enough time either!

M20 are pretty lethargic, they were. 20 years old before they made it into the E30, and that’s 30 years ago now!

is it just me or does it have prefaceloft rear guards, just looks it in that pic, maybe it’s just because it’s one the last E30s on monster truck suspension

Everything for sale for the right price! I have a set with NT01 semis on. One of the rear ones wants a date with a wheel repairer at some stage though holds air and I use on my own race car just fine

I have two spare engines here if needed 

I can help flat tow it if worse comes to worst

Welcome!

thanks for mine Kyu!

FB message me results and also pics of your cab, might consider it for mine,

I currently have a rectangle type fog light switch that intercepts the radio antenna signal, so aerial either goes automatically or stays down, reception not great when it is down. Also thought of looking at a signal amplifier but haven't looked any further @Neal might have some ideas for me tho

I have a couple of 2.8s about if it comes to it. Not much point tho I would have thought

also your temperature gauge doesn't work, you will need to come up with a solution for that.

nice i have seen your car about, and the black 6er that used to wear your plate if my memory is right.

E34 still the most reliable BMW built, hands down
