Hope I'm not too late, it's still the same day for me lol. Happy birthday

I think there's a few of us like that haha I've had 10 in 3 years lol

Thought bits would have gone quicker than this! Will update OP with stuff that is gone shortly, a bit flexible on prices so make an offer Last chance before parts start to be listed on trade me

Both the 5iXT and the sedan in this ad now gone. E34 part enquiries to go to forum sponsors, I haven't stockpiled e34 bits. Cheers

The Ti?

Always a pleasure gents! Thanks for the comments. Just needs more pictures so I can see the result haha

Get some pics up people! My car is a dirty girl at the moment but I'll get a few when I can!

Think yours were in second shipment, so should get them Monday

Stay in mantrol

Very busy few days for me! In the last two days I have stripped the leather interior from my 525iXT and swapped it with the cloth interior of my 520iT. Sold the 525iXT to Brent from aucklands mate Brendon Then I pulled the engine from my 525i and sent the rest to the graveyard aka JKSouthern Euro yesterday, and the engine down south today Then I started stripping down the e30 to get the bits off that have sold already And tonight the plan is to finish installing the interior into the 520iT. Everyone else comes before me lol From four cars to two in one day. the flatmates are rejoicing. Turns out we had mushrooms growing under the 525i lol, unfortunately not edible or magical though

Nice! +1 I want one for the back window of my wagon lol

I'm trying to picture this in my head, are they like a 6 sided pyramid in the middle to give you a a tapered socket? I have some regular impact sockets and I wouldn't want to use those I don't think? Unless I'm reading you wrong and/or I don't know the proper use for them... I very rarely do

Mixed news, got one of them off.... By off I mean the head of the bolt snapped off the shaft, but at least I'll be able to get the wheel over that. Badness: still one bolt to go and the head is jammed in the only tool I have lol

Had a look on the workshop bench for a suitable tool, found a 5/8 too small :/ I did find a BMW 16mm socket thingy from an incomplete tool kit so I will try bashing that on ( don't want to bash on my bahco one for obvious reasons) I wonder why there is a 16 in the BMW tooling though, I don't recall any 16s on the ones I've worked on lol

Tried that, and tried 9/16s, too big/small. I have no need for the imperial part of my set. If I had a 5/8 it would be on the money, but I do not own

That's just going to ruin the head even more and if it slips wreck the wheels. That is one tool I own and never use. There MUST be a better way

I can get a 17 on there but it slips because the head is like a rounded hexagon and i don't want to f**k my sockets

I have a set of lock nuts, but the tool that is used to take them off has gone and snapped itself from the pathetic amount of torque. These will never be used again, and i have never seen another tool for them ( are not a standard head). Anyone have any idea how to get them off?? It looks like a torx bolt with more outside area and th e cuts into it are more shallow. If you have removed one before you will know what I mean

Bit of a thread dig, but well said

Most of you should have yours now, but they were sent to me in two boxes so some will be another day or two, including all the ones with frame surrounds. Tristan; Were you saying the official ones were shitty made or my ones? I must be stoopid but I'm confused lol

Sounds like your transmission, diff, tyres and/or suspension is not up to scratch lol

SOLD

First to offer asking price will take the car http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=373647059

Funds ruled me out way before that lol. It's easily overcome by swapping looms, what I was meaning was finding a non-EWS loom would be a mission I'd imagine.
