Also measured all the valve clearances and shims today and figured out what ones I can swap around to get back within tolerances and what sizes I need to order. so emailed Paul at Milland with the list aswell as a new cam cover gasket and the two centre cover gaskets as they were leaking oil into the sparkplug wells. Don't think the clearances had been done in awhile as only 2 were within tolerances and 3 were right on the limit out of 24! .03mm was the average on intake and .05mm on exhaust. Hoping my parcel from Schmiedmann arrives tomorrow so can fit waterpump, driveshaft coupler and new lower front arm rear bushes while I wait for todays order to arrive

Well I did have a eye out for a damaged m3 to make an m3 touring but ended up with a semi good m3 instead. Still don't think the missus likes me for bringing it home She's not sold on it yet and hates the wagon and can't believe im getting rid of the 328 which is the only one she likes, but it's not all about her!

Cheers dude, used to have 3 e30s at one point untill I upgraded haha, only one was a good one tho. In the looks department the wagons my fav too, something abit different, put the rusted bonnet on it yesterday... Thatll stir afew people up will put some pics up in that thread tomorrow

An E39 in Balclutha with ASC type 3s on it. Makes me want a set

Drove the 328i to Otautau and back again, another 580km trip. Had to stop in balclutha to clean windscreen as wipers wouldn't clean all the bugs off! Joys of driving at dusk/night Plus some more work done on the m3

Looks like you have an interesting time ahead of you, good luck!

Gave the M3 abit of attention today and knocked afew things off the list. discovered afew reasons why its been idleing abit rough. one was a gammied up ICV, one was a vacuum hose thats collapsed, one was a vacuum T join with one end taped up-need to find where its ment to go and the hose from the either the powersteering pump or ac pump that runs into the airbox was off. checked afew of the valve clearances and some are out so need to buy a mircometer tomorrow to measure shims so I know what size to order.

nice one mate! good to see another person see the light.

Indeed it was, abit of a last hurrah for the 328i before it goes. That's if someone buys it...

Took the 328i for a 280km drive down south to otautau to look at a bt50 for half an hour for a mate then drove another 280km back home. Average speed 98.2km and about 10l/100km. Now I get to do it all over again on Tuesday to go pick it up

Just heard on the radio that 90mile beach is closed most of next week for these guys to do some filming

Wow, those guys got a raw deal! But from the other guys on here that have used them have had no troubles. My stuff is currently in transit and should be here on Monday so will see how it turns up. And atleast with them advertising on trademe if you buy something from them and get screwed I'm sure trademe will be able to help out with issues.

Just noticed that Schmiedmann BMW parts supplier from Denmark is now selling on trademe. Might make things abit easier/ cheaper to get parts from. These are the guys I just got a waterpump and afew other goodies from for the M3, was miles cheaper than anywhere else.

I keep reading about these sagging headliners and door fabric comming off but all 3 of my e36's are fine. Is it only jap assembled cars that are affected?

No he still hasn't sold them. Didn't see what They were listed at before but I offered 1200 but hes wanting 3k for them!

250 shipped to Dunedin?

I saw that, cheers dude, they look puuurrdy

Thinking I might go for APT's style 5s or the Acs type 3s on trademe. Il try figure out what the 19s are worth and put up a price

Thanks Andy, have put abit of thought into it to modding it. And that's good to here I'm not dreaming on the price

Not quite what I'm looking for sorry, but could sell you the 19s? There 8.5 and et38, even have newish 225&245 tyres http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/upload...-1361345770.jpg

Someone buy me!

Anyone else got some stashed away for me?

Way to bump a 3yr old post!

Good thing I'll only be doing the odd open day if they allow them...

Just get a e34 535i and youl be good to go
