the saturday of the 16/11/13 was godd,picked up my longawaited wheels, fitted them on, looked mean.

then on sunday, on the way to maratei, whlie the lady friend was making an audi battle, trans safe falshed on dash and the car switched off. beemer got started and on the way to the garage a whining got louder an louder. there was a major leak at the bell housing..i've replaced a box for a customer with the same fault never expecting this to happen.not at 3 months of ownership.

anyway box out on monday eve, and to the trans specialist on tues. research showed that its a common fault on thee 5hp19 boxs for the bush to pack up. +- $2000 TO DO A PROPER REPAIR!!!

so decided on last friday that a manula transplant will suit the babe much more... .

will be uploading the build.

Are the tyres warrantable...I have turbines that I want to replace and my tyres just scraped through a couple of weeks ago. I`m in ChCh so you don`t have to worry about a free alignment or fitting. I can organise freight.

4mils on rears, and 3.5 on fronts, I measured yesterday bro.

If these are still for sale when I get my leaving payout next week I'd be interested for the touring

Wheelssss ....mmm. I feel no rim suits a beemer beta than a bbs, but its become abit too cliché. I'll leave it open.

after adjustment.

Stopped to text before is started drizzzzling an caught this shot .man cant I wait for the set of wheels

Hi guys. I work at a Bridgestone tyre center. I notice slight drifting left to right when leaving the steering while driving,as a normal testing procedure,and the excessive tyre wear on fronts and l/rear .so I swopped front tyres left to right on the rims,and had to replace the l/rear tyre.here are the specs

Front: cambers uneven.L high,non adjustable,so are the casters.

too much toe out hence the inner tyre wear,and had a heavy steering,thought it could of been the pump.or me needing more gym

Rear:left camber high with toe out,not good at all.there must be ample toe in with high camber to cancel out inner tyre wear.

Standard inspection for any steering,bushing or bearings done.

Hi beemer comrades. Because of the adjusties, camber gets abit high,so inner threads get eatin. swopped tyres over left to right first .having directional tyres is a must for high camber.

Yea bro. Thats all gud. Even though my boss dislikes many if not all euro cars, we repair all sorts.


checked battery strenght which was 568 CCA out a 620CCA beast, and a 14.2 charging rate with loads on from thee alternator

checked the neg voltage of the anti freeze/water ratio for weakness or corrosion

Hi.does anyone know if the bmws that come from japan are assembled there or imported from germany.hav heard some wags ,but like to know.thanks. jase

Hey guys. A technician at PJ Auto, mt roskill.here's the service sheet for thee the new ride.i wil try to go through thee whole procedure an always open to better methods ay. Its better yous google for best advice on each procedure for more explanatory .

put an oil flush in to get rid of any tight gunk.the oil was . . . . . ok so wil be doing the next service with another flush quite soon.

Put a flush into engine,idle up for 20-30 minutes, then drain after cooling down for abit.

Thanks guys . She's truly a jewel(not M3/M5/csl ), but man she rides so smooth.just stiffer with thee lowness, but amazingly comfy.

heres the service sheet that we work with and I plan on going through the whole service in the forum(maybe 3yrs to load pics though )haha.

I also machined the front rotors at work,fitted new pads,bendix premiums,which work great, swopt over front tyres left to right,cos was eating inner,and did an alignment to compensate for the hard camber cos of the drop.documented all with photos.

Hi there fellow Beemer brethren. New the forum, always wanted to join, but never had something worthy off.
