Thanks for that Ron. Zero/Nathan, when you say inner gaurd, do you mean on the inboard side of the car eg the wheel tubs, or do you mean the outboard side of the wheel, eg inside of the fender? i assume its the former, but would have thought it would hit the shock well before it hit the body

Price or GTFO cheers, fellow mod.

I rarely freeze meat, it wrecks it I also rarely eat at home but for some reason buy meat every time at the supermarket Thus, I have eaten chicken a week past usebuy, Red meat lasts even longer one hour out the fridge is perfectly fine. Ask your grand mother (or great grandmother depending how old you are)

Mine were near as makes no difference 150mm either side of the CSB. Having said that, everyones opinions on the law varies, and at the end of the day, there is only one person you need to satisfy and thats your certifier, so give him a call and ask him what hes expecting. Much cheaper to call him now, get them placed correctly first time, than rely on a forum of different opinion/experience and end up with an extra 4 or 8 holes in your floor. Your cert guy does not charge for the phone calls you give him during the process, and if anything will probably warm him to you for making sure you are getting it right first time, makes it cleaner sailing come time for the actual inspection. $0.02

didnt know there was a difference in belt teeth!

needs factory grill and bonnet mounted badge else why own a Merc imo lol. at least it comes with it!! GLWS

Looking good Mike!

i know someone that will probably put it into 4 figures, as with anything, worth varying amounts to varying people

"Bargin V12"

import E30 iX from the states Plate and tag it using your current car Done.

The sheep skin ones would really class up a 2014 Merc lol

Tyre shine for short term solution, other wise talk to Sam at Obsessive Car Detailling, i cant remember the name of the product bet its the one to get

Thanks mate, clean sailing thus far, no real surprises... surprising for an 87 year old house

yes back of the car just forward of rear wheel, both simple enough to do after the swap, though highly recommend replacing the fuel filter at the same time

dont know why people always say BMWs are a bitch to bleed. I have done dozens of coolant changes on all manner of engines and bodys, never had a problem. heater on, bleed screw open and fill her up. i most likely have a brown top sensor here you can try, or get one off Elijah his M30 should be the same sensor from memory although his engine got a little toasty at some point too, but thats another fault. only a 10 minute tear down to check the timing on a facelift engine, havent done it on a prefacelift but cant imagine there is much more if any more to doing it. Id love to say come round and we'll spend an afternoon on it but im flat out at the moment on my own cars and also renoing the house too.

not bad, might have to try that as an upgrade for an E30 some time

you have checked the temperature sender itself is in spec right? how about the gauge?

needs colour matched bumpers!

might as well swap the 540 calipers and rotors on too

anythings fixable i saw one for sale that needed a bit of a birthday.

how good are you with a soldering iron Rob?

oh well so be it

All manual bits will be using in compact swap Rob Check the part number on it, I'm sure Ray wouldn't have intentially sent you the wrong one

Toby is there anything on that engine of yours that can still be changed!?

might put it on my hiace fakes and not for sale at this stage I should update first post Keeping exhaust wheels and suspenion from the 325i sedan Keeping engine and gearbox 5 speed parts from the 328i coupe the rest can go Probably will end up listing the sedan for a dollar reserve if it remains complete and/or can sell requests out of my stash of stuff already. they are there, at this stage I will give first option to whomever takes the black headliner as a retrofit kit, but i will keep you in mind! headliner is minty Montreal Blue (its in first picture, needs a clean hasn't been cleaned since before it was crashed i suspect
