  1. not sure about other mono-wiper cars, but it was a very good system on the 190E, the wiper moved on runners in the shaft and telescoped moving in an M shape as it crossed the window, a better wipe than a conventional two wiper system. E38 and E39 are "backwards" as well
  2. must be the later model, my M70 is about 650, still lower than most cars.
  3. Thanks Jon Welcome to Bimmersport! Nice car, not many facelift E30 cabbys around!
  4. hey mate can you keep wing mirrors for me please, will grab them when i get that wheel!
  5. Keep posting V12 updates, i need to get enthusiastic about mine again, its feeling very sorry for itself! where are those plugs available from, BMW? do you have a part number? i know one of mine are the same condition. I agree. just a bigger smile on your face i guess Definately surprising the difference bushes make. seem to be as good improvement as doing "usual" upgrades like shocks.
  6. I know of a M20 525i 4 door in white here in wellington for $500 if you want it, owner wants it gone, its earmarked to come here if it doesnt sell, but i dont really want it unless i find a use for it I have driven it, nice car for what it is, over due for front suspension refresh and i would think the cam belt would be overdue or close most likely, but other than that seems like a good car. owner come into some money and now has a Jag. edit: hell you supply the parts id probably do the cam belt for you to get the guy off my back lol
  7. they did... but without the ghastly sticker underneath the light off the back of a toyota carib or something. I used to have one for a little bit, E34s do handle well anyways for a 25 year old car, but the front wheels pulling the car round did help, very confident. spare touring specific parts are unobtanium here though cool M badge doe
  8. lol i have been told Scanias are garbage! maybe they are just hard to work on?? they do look cool tho
  9. and its in Dunedin, might be worth getting it to a mates place in Christchurch??
  10. old cars never die just get faster haha hows the new job have you started yet? or above post say all i need to know?!
  11. If you did assume it was a Patrol: A number plate in TJ to TN series would check out with a NZ new GQ Patrol too, i used to have one that was TR rego, 1995 Will be a low top so most likely SWB, not very many low top LWB around. and flat deck if it does have one doesnt really lead to anything, a lot of them have flat deck conversions these days.
  12. my thought too, but everyone above posting a hilux they won me over. lights and grill look more like patrol, but proportions more Surf
  13. well thats one job for tomorrow i dont need to do then!
  14. hard to get a feel for the overall car from just those two photos
  15. i so should send mine...... hmmmmmmmmmmm
  16. worth getting the car scanned, but sounds like something to do with a faulty ABS sensor to me, back left wheel is the speed pickup as well. Brent has fixed a few modules for me before, thats another possibility. the intermittent nature of it probably more likely to be the module, or the pickup not plugged in correctly. i would think the pickup is either alive or dead
  17. the speedo still works though right?
  18. more like my van, do about 1000km a week so 2-3 months, seems a lot but yeah.
  19. how do you clock up so much milage??????
  20. what is paint code? i have a bumper bootlid and door looking for a home i suspect same colour Edit: ran VIN, its Lazurblau Metallic (294) yep got the bits in that colour for this if it helps you sell it, or maybe the next buyer needs them maybe next buyer is me i dont know it yet lol
  21. pulled E30 out the shed, went for a drive to newtown and back almost stacked it in the city because I havent driven anything other than my Hiace in a month and forgot i had a bonnet in front of the windshield turns out E30 brakes arent that bad if you need to use them properly! put it away again safely, and put my other E30 along side it to keep it company.
  22. what lip is that on the E38s that looks like the E30 iS lip? maybe even a volvo lip upside down??
