$2400 incl NZ shipping. Brand new MaxxECU Street with IGBT driver with 3D printed BMW E30 harness adaptor for M40 engine. Save thousands on wiring up an aftermarket ECU. Will suit M20B25 applications by wiring any necessary pins as the physical harness shape is the same. IGBT driver, Intake air temperature sensor, Bosch LSU 4.9 wide-band lambda oxygen sensor, aluminium intake bung & stainless exhaust bung all included. Wiring diagram, cables, spare pins & vacuum hose ECU fitting all included. No longer needed as I bought this for my turbo M40B18 application but didn’t end up fitting this to replace my existing tuned ECU. I bought this from a specialist in Germany who sold these kits & was an Aston Martin engineer.

I'm late to the game but I have a OEM gasket trace & card board template for my firewall repair; done this on my care & holding up without any issues (fitment, water tightness) for the past year

$60 O.N.O Genuine Bosch Aerofit wiper blades. Pair of 550mm 22” inch & 450mm 18” inch. New in packaging. Purchased for BMW F20 1 series - fits F21 also (2011-2019 model). May suit other models. I put a new set on my moms car & it lasted around 3 years (the car was parked out on the open). Better quality & fitment than Wipertech or non-OEM alternatives. Sold vehicle so no longer needed. Pickup in Mt Eden, Parnell or Te Atatu South area.

nothing floor mats can't fix hide 😂love your work on the alpineweiss e30; looking clean!

Put 99% of interior back together (just need to replace front component speakers, speaker panel & carpet trim) Went for WOF....failed 4 tyres due to 10 yr old rotted tyres - easy fix! New tyres next week & car will legally be back on the road. WOF inspectors spent more time looking at engine bay than the rest of the car. Thanks to Aliexpress & Bunnings for having most of the tools, clips & other little loose bits to fix everything 🤣 Rod from @euroitalian has been awesome for parts!

WTB E30 headlight switch - not sure if anyone has one in their spare parts bin/unused parts pile.

New carpets after loom & floor pan tidy up. Fitment wasn't perfect but decent all things considered (easy to cut & trim). The underlay is pretty thick felt; hopefully better than OEM sound insulation (degraded 35 year old foam).

lucky with one crack! I just used polyurethane from Bunnings & levelled it down with mineral turps. When/if I could be bothered to try to make it perfect, I won't level it down with turps & source a textured "stamp" to mimic the OEM pattern from a vinyl repair kit. Most creative one & most OEM looking one I've seen that still had a soft finish, was using shredded cleaning sponge, super glue & baking powder mixture then finished off with vinyl repair kit before respray.

finished with 99% of rust-oration & just need to tidy up some areas with prime & top coat. patched up the cracked dash & went for matte black finish (will be two tone interior with navy door cards & centre ); will see how the dash ages/lasts over time (just don't look at is closely & without dash mat 🤣) got new carpets & mats to go before interior goes back in.

Motor was left in - I had to take out dash as I had to redo the whole area under the wipers & its drainage area. I was lucky the rust didn’t reach the brake booster so it saved me from taking that out.

Wrapping up most of the rust repairs this month after putting in a lot of time over the Xmas break. Starting to re-assemble including DIY resprayed guard, bumper & lip ECU & tune next after going for a WOF....

I got a MaxxECU for my turbo'd M40B18 & need to install an intake air temp sensor. Is pre-throttle body or post-throttle body on the intake manifold the best place to put it? I keep reading different things (accuracy vs. heat soak debate). any advice would be appreciated!

Took me a few weekends to get this done; removed the previous lap weld rust repairs & redid the repair. Tried my best to protect the wiring from heat & the grinder so I don’t have to bust out the soldering iron 😂 Will tidy up all the flash & surface rust before KBS rust seal top coat.

....and painted the rank looking parcel tray with some Duplicolour Vinyl & Fabric paint (very easy to use)

Was wondering is there anyone else that tunes stock BMW e30 ECU's anymore? I tried to ring up Gavin (Hi Velocity) but apparently he has retired! Otherwise I'm looking at a MaxxECU set up & tune, which probably would work out better in the long run but feels a bit overkill (only intend on running 12psi).
