  1. Just measured old factory springs. Are about 240-250mm
  2. I'd say you have the wrong springs. I've just not long resprung the touring and took about 10mins to do both rear springs. Just drop the shock off and spring pulls out by hand easy as. I'd take the springs backout, refit diff and then try fit springs the way I did
  3. A very nice black e39 m5 and a low black e46 318i touring.

    My E36

    Dude! Nice work! Looks awesome in helrot. What sort of front lip is that?
  5. I would of thought car b has the right of way seeing as it is turning left so right turning cars should giveway being car a.
  6. Oyes, thought I'd ask before I start pulling stuff to bits. It's a nice day to do it today too. Why did I have to leave all my tools at work...
  7. Il give gas struts a ring next week and see what they say aswell as price up some new ones. My boot locks/unlocks with drivers door but won't unlock the whole car from it like my sedan does or is this normal for a touring?
  8. That's what I did with my exterior surrounds haha
  9. Normally just slide back and clip into place but unless you've got afew broken clips abit of supa glue always does the trick
  10. My car makes a Similar sort of sound, it's the rev counter moving on mine. Could be starter motor sticking. Where does the noise come from?
  11. Haha, yea can't beat a touring. Seen alot of nice e46 tourings around lately making me Jelious. Even a 330d and a e90 335i
  12. I think I'd rather risk it and the 500 extra in excess than waste my time and money putting in an alarm that the factory one outperforms. And anyway I'm in Dunedin. No one here is smart enough to steal them haha. Or be able to get it up the drive because a) I'd hear it, and Itl get bellied up the top of the drive and they'd be screwed
  13. Saw the same e34 touring at the same intersection thismorning. Turns out it is antil33t's. The new fake euro plates thru me
  14. Yea I put one in my old e30 that was easy enough to figure out how to bypass and had a uniden in a wrx I brought with no remotes so pulled that out. Very obvious where to cut and join to get It going. I tried explaining to them that it's integrated into computer so shuts down alot more than just power via a relay to ignition like a general alarm and that I've got a 18 button obc so can put a code into it awell so won't start without that either but no still not good enough because it hadn't been tested. They only had Holden as having a factory 5star alarm. No one else
  15. A white E34 touring that wasn't antil33t's. Had a euro pp
  16. I got mine off trademe. Was about 800 I think just for rear box
  17. I had my replacement to practice on so that helped alot, not that I could get mine out that way but can now do it easy as Good to hear you got it
  18. When my ignition barrel f$@ked out the other week I tried it out just using a screwdriver in the electrical barrel on the back and it wouldn't start because I didn't have the key in so wouldn't pick up the ews so was glad to see it did work. Also my insurance didn't have the factory BMW immobilizer listed as an acceptable one so to lower my theft excess about 500 I need to fit an aftermarket one which I told them was crap cause the factory one is a shitload better but because it wasn't on their list they won't recognize it. Bastards!
  19. As above, a mate had one on his carib, was quite droney and that was only a 1.6 4cyl. I'm running a twin pipe straight thru 2.5" with custom headers and a remus rear box and two sets of resinators. It's not too droney, sounds good and just under 92db. I'd try get a m3 exhaust setup or a miltek etc. Wouldn't bother with cheap crap cause that's what Itl sound like
  20. Just did my e36 about 2 weeks ago and although the vid says in 'on', it is just in the acc position as hotwire said ( many thanks by the way) and is is very easy to do unless it was like mine and was too far gone to be able to get It into acc position so had to drill a small hole and spin the barrel so the latch was above and push a pin up to get it out
  21. Gutted. Woulda look good on the touring
  22. Southern are scoobydoo dealers. Might try some thisweek aswell. Cheers cliff
  23. A metallic blue 8 series on fast and furious
