Where is that?

yeah tried that and nothing. walked past the car half an hour later and thought f-it ill turn the key and it started first time. gah i HATE these type of problems! you never know what fixes them! ill get it on the stands after work tomrrow and have a good look

having a bit of a poke around now. god i hate M5x engines... so much harder than M20s lol

So my good wagon M52B20 engined (yes it has been engined swapped) is playing up when i turn the key to on, everything works as it should. when i turn it to start the car clicks once and all the lights on he dash stay on. The battery is 100% working condition so its not that. It used to do it once in a blue moon, but since i havent been daily driving it, it now does it pretty much every time when i first start it for the day, and then sometimes will do it the second time. it seems after those first two it comes right and i can drive it around as i used to and start it as much as i like. its only when i dont use it for a few days, or start and stop 20 times in a day that it does it again. Any ideas? Starter solinoid? im not sure what this actually is/where it is/how to replace it, but a quick google comes up with this. any other thoughts? cheers, andy

when i first saw this i hated it, but i must admit its growing on me. its really on the boundry of rice for me though.. the gauges are slowly pushing it over though....... keen to see what engine and drivetrain you stick with

im guessing your doing an early morning course based on the park you managed to get! i must be looking in the wrong place... they arent tidy in C Block lol, mind you i dont go anywhere else on the campas ha

Haha yeah, I can tame an m52 lol. I just wondered what these sell for now

Saw a tidy e30 outside school today. Bbsrs roof racks, leathers..... TN618 member?

Listing has expired ray, what's your price?

Do you have pics? ..and where did you get them recovered?

Have an m52b28 manual conversion for e30 if your interested. 2800 but a bit negotiable. I'll fit it for extra if you are in Wellington.

You can do it there if you ask

For interests sake does that include fwd cars?

Fyi Might get more hits on the 'grill spoilers' if you add the keyword eyelids. And I'll save the sumpgaurd from the skip if no one else wants it!

Good result. I used to get the same as you for economy. If you work out 450/50, your getting just over 10l/100km which isn't too bad. I just got 10.1 Auckland to wellington in my new 5

Oh I think you didn't understand my tone of voice lol wasn't an attack. I thought doing what I did would make them wear evenly, I can't see how it doesn't though?

Happy birthday mate, still got that valence for you when your ready

Saw EVOM3 on the back of a trailer in Auckland this morning looks like a serious car haha. And a silver m-tech?e28 on paekok hill road tonight almost run me off the road the prick.

Saw a shark in Seaview lower hutt, BM635i members car?

Yes give me a text, number as per OP. Won't be checking this thread again so if anyone else wants it, text only or I won't get it lol

Unfortunately, when owning bimmersport this old, the owners manuals are long gone lol. I am aware of this, but I rotate my tyres every 5000kms or so to counter it. Lack of traction only happened once and I t was raining so it's that to blame in this I think. Thanks for your input though

Driving down on Sunday in two days time with an empty car. Can bring back freight or yourself whatever if it's not too far out of my way. Bimmersport only deal, I'm not bring back cut springs for your mates cef' lol Text 0273079322

Oh well that explains it then. It must just be because the tyres a a lot more grippy up front than the crap ones I used to have ha. They look the same size. I'll check them out when I get q chance. Thanks guys!

Hi guys i brought some new tyres for the wagon as the rear two were toast. So i have the ones on the front moved to the back to chew them up, and the rims with the new tyres put on the front. So now the rims that were on the back are on the front and viseversa. My question, could you buy 17" ACS type 1s in non staggered arrangement? reason i ask is about a month or two ago the rear end kicked out on my in a corner not under power or anything though it was raining, and also the front steering seems heavier than my 525i, and i dont remember it being that heavy when i dailied it. I saw Ian540i's signature and saw his are staggered, and thought i wonder if thats the reason??? They are 17" authentic rims, but i have no idea what the offset or width is, they are rwd though, and brought new from BMW NZ back when they stocked these. cheers
