  1. I owned her for a while, really tidy car.
  2. Yes, but what's that got to do with the head unit?
  3. Can be found in E36 diesels, E34's E32's and 4cyl E30's. PM me if you have one.
  4. That looks fantastic. 🤩
  5. Joseph, E60's are cool cars and wagons (Touring) look really good, but they all have issues. I had 2 E60s so I know. Look on google to find the sunroof trick. Close it and never open it again. All the advice above is spot on. Lovely cars, just expensive to maintain. IF you are going to buy any BMW do your research first.
  6. Pramod had a go but, I am fairly sure it's fried inside.
  7. Hi I need a new module like this one.
  8. Just reading for the first time, your attention to detail is impressive. I am really intetested to see the end result. A n54/55 in an E34 was someting I often thought of.
  9. My Techno Violet 540is sat on FB for a while, the seller was a bit old school and really hated stupid questions, once we got some dialogue going we agreed on the price. It was below $20k. Ironically about 6 months after I bought it, I was parked in Lower Hutt and a chap came up to me and asked if it was for sale, he offered $25k without promting. I declined, but he gave me his number if I changed my mind. I think that prices for a lot of cars are quite cheap now, a buyers market so to speak. That said good cars should get decent money.
  10. I saw this and started wondering, but then reality smacked me in the face, you already have too many cars.
  11. If you get the correct box no programming is necessary, you just have to re pin the connector. Full instructions on the XHp blog. https://www.xautomotive.com/blogs/news/from-gm-to-zf-6hp
  12. Dan, I am keen to do this sooner rather than later. My 6L45 shudders and clunks gears similar to yours and mine has also been serviced. If you do this let me know I will pop over the hill and give you a hand. (If you need it )
  13. I did some checking and an 8HP starts at around 3k, plus 2k for the Cantcu, that's 5k plus working out the cooler swap parts. I can do the 6hp for about 1.5k. While its not as good a trans, with an XHp tune it's a pretty good. The 8hp can be someone else's project.
  14. Take it back to the mechanic who did the job and get them to fix it. N47 engines can have timing chain issues, make sure that is not the problem.
