1/2 Bonnet, plastic or composite construction with liner material, original badge. I was told this was a promotional item from BMW, it is 1:1 scale. Great piece of memorabilia for e36 fans, sadly I don’t have one any more. Free - pick up only Greenhithe, Auckland. Advertised on TM as well so best to just hit buy there. https://www.trademe.co.nz/antiques-collectables/automotive-transport/cars/auction-4564616958.htm

https://www.trademe.co.nz/trade-me-motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/other/auction-3657494281.htm Last of my e36 bits and pieces, I would prefer to sell all together, details in the TM post. $180 for the lot for Bimmersport members, unless it sells on TM first.

Ha ha yes - mate of mine just brought a 6.3 litre v12. He sent me a pic I just replied with 3.62 a litre…. But yep full tank of gas guaranteed! The best news is my new M3 doesn’t need gas but unfortunately it’s not a BMW!

New Auction Everyone, the original listing closed with 308 watchers, almost 10,000 views and at least a dozen declined offers 35 or lower….. I’ll still let it go for 38 k to Bimmersport members which I think is pretty good value considering its condition and overseas values. If I can’t get that then I’ll be clearing out the other side of the garage when my new car arrives! https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3506300924.htm

Bump - updated the TM auction. Car is running fantastic, in fact I think probably the best it has in my ownership! I’ll still let this go to Bimmersport members for 2k less than the TM auction so 40k. Also happy to consider reasonable offers.

So after changing the, prop shaft gearbox pinion guide bearing, the guibo (flex disk) the centre support bearing and the rear CV seal the clunk is gone. Most of the parts that came out where in good condition, I think it was either a lack of the tacky gum stuff on top of the centre bearing or incorrect / No forward preload on the centre bearing. Anyway another m-clunk gone!

Thanks M3AN - I must say I have read a few of your posts all over but mostly on m3cutters to get through a fair bit of this work particularly the rack / tie rod build.

After four weeks installing all the parts plus another order from the states I’ve updated my auction so bumping this thread. I’ve upped the price to cover some of my parts and zero of my time…… Will still knock 2k off the listed price for Bimmersport members $42k. Added some parts pictures because well who doesn’t like shiny car parts right?

I am normally super careful about this but it turns out the new coils I ordered from ECS are not correct for my car so selling these as a set. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-bosch-parts/ignition-coil-priced-each/12131748018bkt/ Will fit multiple BMW and other models (Porsche maybe) please check first. All six for $450 dollars which is 50 bucks less that what it cost me (retail in NZ around 90 bucks each I think). Still in the box with seals except for the one in the picture. Will probably list on TM in a couple of days. Happy to ship at your cost (Bulky Box) or pickup West Auckland. Cheers

Happy NY All! A little bit of interest but the M3 is still for sale and I have updated the pictures and some details on the TM listing. 2K discount for Bimmersport Members only 38K (still firm). https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3382298426.htm

So I uninstalled HID headlights on my M3 and reinstalled OEM headlights. Along with this I reconnected the CCM wires that are for the headlights as had I previously modified it (bypassing CCM) because the HIDs give you a warning every time you turn them on. Long story short it turns out the HIDs actually also damage that part of the CCM so when reconnected with non HID lights I now get the warning. So I am after a replacement e36 CCM (18 button OBC) - it’s important that it has not been used in a car with HID headlights…. The backup plan is to bypass the CCM using the wires again.

Hi Neal - That would check with the service history for that time, while Dakar Yellow is not everyone’s cup of tea I love it.

Just an update the minor clunk is just a little bit of play in the drive shaft spline where it goes into the diff, nothing to be worried about. Otherwise it all seems pretty solid under there.
