A guy I work with has a 156 sedan, manual too. Hasn't has a bad word to say except for the power windows causing a bit of grief. Wagons are way hotter but usually pricier Dunno about parts availability or related costs though. As with anything Euro out of its warranty period it's probably best to do routine services yourself or face eye watering labour costs

So badly want a 5er touring with the V8. Responsible family wagon with just a little bit of fun to stop me becoming suicidal. Not like a VW Passat sigh

There was a black e39 540i Touring that used to belong to an older chap on the Parnell / Remuera border. Sold on Tardme a couple years back for about 6k IIRC. Broke my wee heart! Would love to know where its gotten to

Hehehe, every time I clean my car some bastard hits me and writes it off! Turtle wax is not my friend

Ended up going with one from Segedins for $130 +GST, need the car for a short notice towing run tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how it lasts. Will keep that in mind Glenn, thanks

Hey all - anyone have any recommendations for a new battery for the 325i? Has become a weekend car of late so isn't being turned over as much as it used to. Hopped in it this morning to go for a cheeky blat down the motorway and got no love back Not really too keen on the Repco branded items - who here has needed to replace one recently and where did ya get it from? I'm suspicious this ain't gonna be cheap either Thanks

Bahahaha! I now have a mouthful of beer halfway out my nose and sore ribs from laughing

I'd be installing copper buzz bars across the floor in front of all the doors. a gentle 48 volts at 15 amps ought to discourage any midnight visitors!

Now all we need is for snakes to teach themselves how to fly planes and we're REALLY f**ked! Thank the deities for bloody big oceans all around us!!

Swap the one over from your other E39

Out of curiosity, what would a set of headers to suit an E36 325i be worth?

Has been listed a few times now. Pity its only the single inlet

Hmm, well that makes it difficult!

Bit of a stretch here, but do you have any idea when the change from large to medium happened?

Just what size diff does the 535 use anyway? Apologies to OP for hijack

Just so you know, it'll be at least a month before the auto will be available

Sounds like you need a replacement control module. Ask Brent or Ray, they'll sort ya out

No idea if it's any good to you but there will be a Jatco from an E36 325i, 170,000km available soonish for stuff all. Just waiting on the brother in law to get back from China so I can get some shed space

Yup. Going rate for a medium case is around 1k, large case about the same. Sucks! Still, makes for a big win when you luck out and buy a car that had one ex - factory!

Hmm. Bathurst might be wroth watching then!

Bugger!! Was looking at one for sale privately through Bimmerforums, only thing I'm dodged out about is apparent lack of buyer protection. I can't really afford to throw away $300 at the moment. Hopefully something will turn up within my budget locally. Pigs might fly too, but one can always hope ! Thanks for the thought though

I was looking at bringing in a 188mm LSD center, shipping seems to start at NZ$250, surface freight only. Didn't even look at airfreight. That was assuming no more than 25kg & 0.015 m3 Would need to be rubber you couldn't otherwise get in NZ before the cost and time involved would be economic IMO

That went for $1700?? Aww man!

That went for $1700?? Aww man!

Lol, they probably found out the replacement cost for the munted wheel and promptly emptied their bowels! Wonder what it'll go for........
