  1. anyone know if E38 and E39 pedal box is the same? fitting a third pedal into the E38 is a problem, particularly with the handbrake also operated by the left foot.
  2. will you actually use bluetooth iphone stuff? both stereos in my cars plus the hiace has all that, the novelty wears off when your phone battery turns to sh*t and you have to load it up everytime
  3. possibly not getting enough voltage to build pressure? Pump faulty/inefficient assuming you have checked the water lines, thats the next place i would look
  4. would be somewhat inclined to agree with E38 comments... the short wheel base is a big car, but its not only A6 size, same size as E60 5 series, etc. if you are engine swapping you would probably want to start off with a 728i, less stuff in it, otherwise the 740i is the no brainer.
  5. you will enjoy it. subcribed for E60 wagon
  6. yep its in my driveway now i dont mind so much seeing scruffy ones crashed, but i hate seeing good condition ones like this knocked around
  7. in my experience with the V12s, you are better off with one with some milage under its belt
  8. Ill take it, when can i pick it up?
  9. yes always the most important thing when buying second hand tyres... CHECK THE DATE on the sidewall. Also goes for new tyres too, some will be more than a year old before you buy them, particularly the low turnover premium brands.
  10. you are the gift that keeps on giving arent you.
  11. dont have factual evidence, however BMWs both in 1600cc class and 2000cc class well down in power (and up in weight) compared to japanese vehicles
  12. needs one of the slimline plates available now Tony!
  13. seen some chinese high stop lights a few weeks back, mounts behind the BMW badge and lights up a halo around that red when on the brakes, not sure if you are understanding what i meant, but thought of you when i saw it, then forgot to post it up! quick google comes up with this but i seen it in red
  14. interesting it has slipped the chain AND been crashed, two very unrelated things at the same time hmmmm
  15. Have a look at that auction now. 4 people saying they will pay 2000, yet none of them bid that.
  16. Cool i can see his mobile and landline there on bmwccnz website, feel a bit wierd cold calling him. not sure if i have met him before, i think i met him at BM World? do you have an email for him? Yeah i would say this has to be at least early to mid 90s. It came in on a 316i i had a few years back, but an otherwise rough ish car, i suspect it would have been onanother car before that, so that would put it in to late 80s.... hmm anyone have anything earlier than 2001?
  17. Have had this kicking in my shed for a number of years, decided to put it on my E30 last week. Anyone have any information about it at all? were they given to all members in a particular year? or prehaps to particular members? know of any others in existance? etc etc? i literally know nothing about it. I know it once was coloured, it was so when i got it. however it was all cracked and disgusting so i sanded it all off, actually doesnt look too bad as is so its stayed. Cheers Andy
  18. never ever seen an E34 like that. i brought a new arm from BMW, and then mounted it so it sits above the rego label holder if you get my drift, cant foul on the bonnet now, and still doesnt interfere with the other side.
  19. are you gunna install in tailgate? where are you putting rear numberplate? keep up the good work!!
  20. pretty easy, rear in a normal E36 is upgraded to multilink, but the compact has old trailing arms from the E30 still
