x2 for MTS.

Fadi's hooked me up so many times I've run out of fingers and toes to count with.

They do all of Tristram Euro's lowering e.t.c so dealer approved too.

Haha, only for a year or so as I began modding my E46.

I'll bring mine when I come home at some stage, I go back once every two weeks anyway lol

Sold, thanks for looking.

All nice wheels suck to clean, however you've done a good job!

Ah, my old neighbour with a very good name indeed!

Car looks good dude, pity I don't see it much anymore!

Wheels look good!

More spot polishing yesterday, 140,xxxk's of not being owned by me means there was a bit to tidy up, not far away now.

Gloss black doesn't interest you?

Very effective on a silver car with shadow line trim such as yours.

Perfect height at the back, but just like me an extra inch than necessary at the front lol.

The colour's not my thing, but then again I always go with out there colours so it's good to see someone else who isn't afraid haha, well done bro.

Just got back from a walk through Hauraki/Takapuna.

Very nice candy red E46 coupe EWT204, quick word with the owner.

Tucked into a garage on Jutland Rd was MT825, a grey E30 325. Looked similar to my E46 - a garage queen.

Haha that guy always thrashes that car, but it's an M3, you're supposed to right?

So far this year I've had wheels painted Barney Purple, Satin Rose Red & Gold.

Personally, I'd be keen to see a nice gunmetal/shadow on the 95's.

Thanks

Cheers for the offer.

Hi guys,

My car is a poverty spec 2000 318 and I've been offered a pair of motor-sport front seats.

They're a manual adjust - the same as mine.

I have to use my belt buckles - the seats should just bolt straight in right?

Cheers,

Lewis

Good luck with the sale - you sure know how to present a car!

Hi Lewis,

Put your last 7 digits in one of the parts catalogs and it will give you the infor you need

Might need to check the trade me diff think it is for an e36 type not a e46 could be wrong.

The parts Cat give's 3.38.1, 3.45.1, 3.91.1 as the ratio's for a e46 318ti the last two are for auto's not sure if this would change being either a N42 or N46 model. The 318 and 316 ti's I believe have small case diffs.

e36 ti have 3.38.1 manual, 4.44.1 auto.

Cheers bro, that's all the info I needed.

I've had a set drilled from 112 -> 114.3, but we're talking a few mm and some wobble bolts.

I'm not sure on your patterns though as it's a bit more of a jump.

I think 90% of people call it the rear diff, plus that's not particularly important anyway - it's not going to solve my problem.

I am referring to the diff itself, therefore the 4.4 from the Trade-me link from a Compact could possibly bolt in?

Hey guys,

My E46 318 used to have a obvious vibration in reverse (full lock).

I replaced the rear diff mount around 3 months ago as it had the usual cracking.

Got rid of the problem...mostly.

Still very slight, but consistent.

The car's done 140,xxx.

I have two questions:

1 - Is it most likely to be the diff?

2 - Will http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=739807625 fit if I was to use it as a replacement?

I'm not sure what the ratio on the standard diff is, but 4.4 is probably better than the 3.8 or something which it's likely to be since the car isn't a Motorsport.

Cheers,

Lewis

Decent.
