  1. how are they compared to a factory bumper? same sort of bumper inserts and what not?
  2. Replaced the two rear door lock solenoids on the touring, but in my attempt to get one of the doors to unlock it has stopped the central locking Working altogether. Then wondered why the rear window squirtey doesn't work even tho its pumping fluid and then found that it filled the boot with washer fluid as the joiner in the boot corner came undone. Great
  3. That's crazy, my alloy m52 takes an age to warm up. By the time I drive to work which takes about 15mins it's only at about a quarter. Makes cold mornings suck haha. Good thing the m44 takes mare seconds.
  4. Brought a vanos seal and rattle repair kit. Seems alright apart from the start up rattle so we shall see if theres an inprovment. Will Put that on the next to do list once I track down the special tools
  5. Got a quick glimpse of a silver e36 with gold replica rs's outside maccas dunedin north on the way home from work
  6. Yea that's about the norm. All Of mine have taken about that, because it's a cast iron block. You'll notice it stays warm for a long time after its turned off too
  7. Hey guys, as stated on the hunt for some m sport bumpers, skirts and moldings for my touring. It's alpine white in colour so if someone had a white set that would be mint but will settle for others. Let me know what you've got and a price and an estimate on shipping to Dunedin. Cheers guys
  8. Fixed drivers window on the touring then tried to tint it and failed so booking it in for next week. Started to claybar/ cut and polish then discovered the bonnet is covered in paint splotches from being parked next to a fence while it was being painted at a guess. So I gave up and got a beer
  9. According to total BMW magazine there were only two genuine rhd e30 m3s ever made and I'm pretty sure they were both black and in japan. I'm guessing this has been converted to rhd later in life
  10. That's the one! Gave it a good in n out clean today. Why is it woman don't look after cars...Yea an m3 touring would be the bees knees but its just ment to be as a work wagon, then again so was My ute which now features a c notch and about 60 mms from the ground... Opps il keep y'all updated on it
  11. Drove all the way to queenstown and back today to pick up my new addition to the family... An e36 318i touring. Goes and drives like a dream! Now to start on sorting the few issues it has...
  12. I had a similar problem with a wheel nut. If it's the type of bolt u put a socket onto try heating it up with a gas gun etc then hammering on a smaller socket. Worked a charm for me. Or could try welding another nut to it.
  13. Just drop an Aussie v8 in it. Thatl make it move!

  15. Had a mate get his car impounded, came back missing almost half a tank of gas and someone elses cd wallet
  16. That sucks dude. I'd definantly try fix it. I'm sure the guys that wreak on here could help you out
  17. I'd start at the basics. They Have separate fuses for left and right light so check them. Can you here the relay click on and off when you pull the knob? or could be switch. Had a problem with mine and wouldn't turn on dash lights so could be similar problem.
  18. i would of thort the seat base would be the same same, but now that youve shown me that site i can do some research. thanx for the help
  19. Hey guys, just got myself a manual 318i touring for a run about so i can stop using the 328i as a work hack and wreaking it with tools and me in it tearing up the boot and leather. already has afew marks Anyways, I am wanting to convert it to m' bumpers, skirts and side mouldings and maybe mirrors but am unsure to what i can fit on it. found a guy in chch on t.m wreaking an m sedan minus front bumper so was going to steal what i could off that if any of it will fit -fingers crossed. also it needs a new drivers window track and has a torn up rear seat base which id like to replace and again unsure if its different to sedans. and lastly! suspension, are they transferable and a good recommendation, will have abit of weight in the back most the time so dont want anything thatl sag... thanx in advance! Justin

  21. Hey I upgraded my 11 button to an 18 and was pretty easy, Just need the two plugs that plug into it and just a bit of cutting/ splicing afew wires in the back of the instrument cluster. Just need to get the airbag light reset from removing steering wheel. Cookies charged me 20 to do it
  22. I had a similar problem in my e36 afew months back. Was going round a tight bend in the wet and lifted inside wheel n when the lsd grabed it went bang and broke a tooth off the spider gear that jammed between the end of the axle and diff centre and popped the axle out.
