_ethrty-Andy_

I use Richard at Bruce Thompson Motorbodies out here in Seaview if thats not too much of a mission for you. Most of the work fleet have been to see him, my two main cars, plus some of my projects years gone by etc Tell him Andy BMW guy with black Hiace sent you if you decide to give them a call. They have a black E46 in here at the moment i saw as i passed just before (not mine)

dont tell me you want a set lol? You better just by my whole shed, you will never know what you will find lol

i see no problem, im used to engine swapped cars, yes there will undoubtably be some nigly electrical gremlins there always is. But priced accordingly, would take this over a 540i/6 any day (not saying i wouldnt take a 540i/6!!), and pricing is not a big jump from that point either.

one hell of a lot better looking than the Mercedes thats for sure! They really got the back looking very good on that generation X5

are they really that powerfull????? I might have to dig out the ones from the compact

you need to try some back roads down here, Paekak Hill Road, Whitemans Valley Road, and road between Akatarawa and Kapiti, you dont go over 70km/h anyways, so weight comes into it a bit more. can get round quicker in a 316 than a 325

i have a K&N going spare if you want it

awesome, my favourite E30 chassis, light weight, rwd, manual. more fun than a 325i manual

probably why i have steered well clear of dunedin for the past 23 years

Aparently Kerry Lindsay in Petone is the place to go, though the one time i have needed him to do a Mercedes head they werent interested. Take from that what you will

lol i discovered that pulling a lowly M42 out!

tits gunna be a very cool project saw your old E30 last weekend, every time i have seen it it looks great, the new owner seems to be looking after it to the same standard you did!

Welcome mate Will be doing a meet sometime before christmas if you are interested, in conjunction with Euro Car Club Wellington Chapter

There are definately the E30s in NZ to beat that, must be easily 120 here alone. People just cant be bothered/afford coming south of the Bombay's, spending all thier money on rent and mortgauges.

you work out the maths on the exchange rate and shipping you will find it comes to more, i already looked there before posting.

same wheels and springs my Touring was when i brought it! The Vogtlands ride very well, not the sportiest in the world, but a darn sight better than Kings or whatever

you clearly havent driven one produced since 1995.

You E30 guys already know that you have no clips on your lids anymore, very common E30 "problem", hey, at least it wont leave you stranded like other E30 problems. None the less, I broke the only complete one I knew of in existance, currently on my E30 cab. Enter Bimmersport group buy If I said, $65 a piece to your door, who is in? Have priced them at the dealer, I have trade pricing, and they are still more than that, so significantly more if you walk in there.

of course, this M3 is going to be quicker again probably, but I get that all the timewith my wagon, people just dont expect quick wagons. Gregs Volvo V70R which is also for sale on trademe is also the same, more power than E36 M3 and a manual box too

Yep it makes 7 BMWs at home at the moment, this will be the last receiver of parts from Jasons old 525i thats here, then that car can go, hopefully the E32 thats here can go soon too, i need to generate some space for summer get togethers etc. Wouldnt mind seeing my V12 E34 finding a new home too, but unfortunately i dont want to swap it for Evo3 on cutz goez hard etc Yes Genuine, at this stage I will be getting them refurbished to put on my E36 Compact racecar project, they are pretty good but have a small amount of curbing on most if not all of them. ....but everything is always for sale for the right price.

So a nut house

Mitre 10 Mega are agents for them I do also agree on buying kits is cheaper, i went through and replaced all my missing bits a few months back, and found it was cheaper to buy a mini set, so now have some double up stuff too which cant hurt

And cleaned my little E30 today, back to show room condition

Fitted my new wheel and tyre setup today, and had the car professionally cleaned by Attention to Detail, all ready for Euro Car Club meet tomorrow Morning, will be sure to get photos and post some up etc
