took it for a WOF, failed on just the FR ball joint, is it just me or are E30s hard on these? seems like pretty much every E30 I've owned has needed them or tie rods done. hes letting me through on the trailing arm bushings but he expects they will need to be done for the next WOF. Disk rear end time?? does that need to be certed?

Id rock an RS6 over any 1980s+ BMW any day of the week

hmm i know that one, was hoping for a different one. whoops thread hijack

hahaha

yes they do! thought about doing the silver/black treatment that E30 M20 owners often do, but google pictures look crap. not sure what to do about that! And sure, ill bring a BMW this time

finding a job where you get up in the morning and look forward to going to work are hard to find! i love mine too! A mate of mines parents have an RS6 Wagon. sounds tits but yet to acquire a ride let alone a drive lol.

are you saying the E30 column is longer? because that would explain why my Tech2 wheel which is ex E30 and now in my touring sort of scrapes/whines a bit but very quietly when I'm turning either direction. whats the solution?

thanks mate!

wont that be a BMW if its 2005? im not quite sure on the changeover date

How do you 'not remember' something like that? I dont remember where i put my keys, but i don't sink several grand into a keyring

bump, two interested, but as yet unspoken for! If you can show me im off with the pricing let me know

what are you saving that by not shopping with Gavin? you might save $10 or $20 in my experience but your not helping out the local guy and your waiting at least a week for your parcel. $20 is worth different things to different people i guess. not trying to be a d*ck.

since when can you upload videos to trademe?

my 316 wont know the difference

just another night out at the drags then

i can think of better ways to test if it has an LSD in the rain

Im not 100% on either the springs or the shocks, but the previous owner told me they were Vogtland springs and Koni Shocks and i never found a reason to say otherwise. shocks seem to be in good condition, my touring handled very well on them, not overly stiff, but good rebound etc. was not all juddery and hard like most lowered cars are, you couldn't tell that car or a standard E34 apart in a straight line while riding etc. suit 6 cylinder so 520i 525i and 535i will physically bolt up to M60 cars, but probably too low spring rate. here is picture of them in my touring for what its worth. bear in mind this car is heavier in the back than a sedan because of being touring, and lighter in the front because these photos have an M52 (aluminium block) not the M50 that will be in yours. so id expect a bit of rake back the opposite way in a sedan. none on trademe so a bit hard to price so lets say $400 ono, and are currently in Auckland. may also fit E32????

if 60mm is a standard size, you should be able to get them from mag and turbo or tonys tyres or beurepairs etc. or are they honda fitment 4x100? etc

hey guys, not my thing but was there today and noticed an E38 there, i didn't check what engine it had because bonnet was jammed down but looks like the LWB model so probably M60. was i think what they call champagne/bronzit and tan leather interior. they would have paid 1/1000th of what it was 15 years ago, scary eh!

well theres nothing else to do in Palmy so....

common guys they came on a car that is at least 20 years old now, your not going to get new unless you buy new. simple.

is the car actually getting hot?

i wouldn't have RS's on my E30s either, but then i dont like those racing dynamics either ha. haters gon hate?

yep

a very cool Mtech 2 E30 wagon in Petone!
