My company Swann does good rates, my E30 is on a regular policy for $300 pa and i can drive that. Havent investigated price to get the 2002ti under laid up cover,, i just know they do it

Both can be arranged lol

you are all wrong anyway. everyone knows its directly related to how big the fuel tank it is. Costs $60 to fill, must be economical!
-

I dont do sport, and can't stand american garbage save for the odd big bang or family guy. For people like me, Popcorn Time is all I need. A guy at work has been waiting for two-three months for Vodafone to connect them up at his new place. got it now, but jesus. and he is on one of the two main streets in Petone

I found some inspiration for you Hans
-
remind me to have a look tomorrow, pretty sure i have one from the 740i that slipped the chain.

i guess the question is what you are trying to achieve? Brakes are woeful compared to a new car yes, but do the job well for the age etc, youll get the biggest jump in performance with some better pads (NOT racce type) and getting rid of the 10 year old fluid in the system. Although i havent driven an E30 with E36 suspension, i dont see the advantage really, unless you wanted to go to 5 stud wheels. An E30 on new shocks springs and bushes is a very good drive (well unless it has no roof like mine lol)
-
lol some would disagree! thanks mate.

Think that's enough team. Keep it civilized!

the master cylinder bolts onto the pedal box, then you need to get fluid to it somehow.. i guess there is no reason you couldnt run it off the brake reservoir, the nipple on the brake reservoir is there even on RHD cars... just not the way BMW did it on the RHD cars. Edit: although the line over to the clutch master would be higher than the reservoir, so will be bitch to get the air out when bleeding, thats the only road block i can think of.....
-
^^^ that would be the standard for MOST kiwis.
-
the LHD cars have the clutch master than runs off the brake reservoir, for our RHD cars they have a seperate reservoir than mounts on the battery tray directly above the pedal, and then the line from the master to the slave goes up over the top of the engine and down to the left hand side where the slave is. this part very hard to ship, someone might be willing, or just make up your own. All of this stuff is available brand new from BMW still if required. (edited for clarity)

Questions regarding '89 E34 - audio and locking
_ethrty-Andy_ replied to nick34's topic in Electrical system
welcome to E34 ownership, they are on the whole very good cars Something i tell all E34 owners: When you inevitably get the 80km/h wheel shudder particularly under brakes, make sure the mechanic thoughrly checks thrust arm bushings, more common this is the cause than warped rotors (though the latter occurs now and again of course) can be big $$$ down the drain if incorrectly diagnosed by non-bmw mechanic! not to put you off the experience! I have had a number of E34s over the years, not the sexiest to look at, but right up the top for pleasure to own and drive, even 20-25 years after production -
Ron do you order a 473mL or a Pint at your local?
