Thanks Allan, cant make it work though, Chrome saying something about no longer being able to open such and such after 1st September 2015. who knows. But your numbers reflet the below so looks like we are on the right track. Thanks yes exactly what I was after!!

slam on 24s

14, including some correct guesses

i didn't know you were looking Alan, there was a M sport set at Pickapart about a month ago, i took the front seats for my compact, but left the rear seat there. would say its very unlikely the car is still there

i thought about it too, but its far too expensive to be a parts car.

did the tourings ever get LED tails?

some are three bolt some are 4 bolt to connect to fan clutch so that will be the difference i would say

i might have to blow the dust off it next time i am up Glenn!!!

Have spent a couple of afternoons scouring the inter tube, cannot find one anywhere! I specifically wanting to know what pins on the DME relate to the MAF at this stage, but probably better off with a whole PDF 728i is the vehicle, but E46 or E39 would also work around 2000 year. Thanks Team!

I understand that. I would be expecting $300 for the larger panels (roof, bonnet, boot lid, bumper) $100 for the mirror, weld up antenna hole and paint blend over rear quarter would be more like $400 maybe a bit more. I would have expected that amount of work to be more like $1800-$2k. There is a lot of time spent removing panels, preparing them for paint, painting, baking, refitting. its more than half way to respraying the whole car.

$1400 is pretty cheap for the amount of panels being repaired. Particularly if its going through the books. IMO

Meh, my E30 has 732hp when its sitting on the spot idling as well.

Asked myself (lol) and the 4x4 guys down here, nothing available, have you called Kayne?

i **think** i have a 6 cylinder E30 radiator in the shed, though yours might be different being a prefacelift.

not many options Blair, just a base spec 325i cab, no electric roof, no obc, no cruise, and from the days automatic was the option. but it is a shame, although facelift cabbys just got 33% rarer here in NZ!!

AFAIK (i havent ever priced up) you can order the plugs from BMW if you so wish. i was asking around to do so with my E34/E32

What the hell is FBO

probably works, but why not just fit the correct one to your car? not like they are rare..

the plug does unclip, thought they are quite brittle these days. Drivers side foglight is at the end of the loom, which runs along the back of the valance, if the car has been in a crash or had a knock its possible the loom is damaged.

pretty sure physics would say the engine would flick back over on itself

Mikes case may be different sure, and true many of our own opinions would be the same as Mikes But your 1st statement above is not true. There are plenty of cars on the road that would prefer a good enough job with a low bill than a perfect job. I think Glenns statement is very fair.

in 1995 or inflation adjusted?

strut brace is just a cosmetic mod really some good tyres, good shocks, and leave the rest as is

nah mate you wont be the first, or the last. just for ease of install, and also some models have different strut tower heights, eg E30 iX and non-iX have different heights, no doubt many hondas toyotas etc are the same. an adjustable one really should be called multi fit or something to avaoid confusion
