Thats a big tyre, good luck looks you will have limited choices.

Interesting I couldnt get the tyre finder to work. Other option is to wait until Bridgetone has deal buy 3 get the 4th free etc and get some RE003s. They are good performaance tyres for the money and lots guys here run them.

Adam, I am not sure you will get too many responses here on going super low as most of the guys here are more focussed on handling and if you go super low you will probably make it handle worse than stock. If all you want is the dropped in the weeds look then I amsure mag and tubo or one of those shops can roll the guards for you. I have a 335i and having the rear any lower than the tyre at guard level starts to compromise handling. From memory wheel spacers will require a cert and if not certed could possibly invalidate your insurance.

Yes was 18k initially, seller is covinced his car is worth more than the market is offering. Was tempted at 18k but this type of behavior on top of the 45 day list time just pisses me off.

I actually feel sorry for him.

So again it was passed in at $16k. It would seem even after 45 days that is what the market says its worth.

No I have a Getrag 220 I want the ZF box.

Need a ZF 5 speed manual for my E36. Whats out there?

I have a Jatco in my E36 and it has been serviced and shifts reasonably well. That said it also has a post 1997 TCU and supposedly they do make a noticeable difference.

I could be keen but I am in Wellington.

Thanks all, I found one at https://www.nzperformancetuning.co.nz Looks to be well made, comes with a new clip just in case the old one isn't on the under-tray. Having blown the CP on my N54 335i I am well aware of charge pipe weakness what surprised me is that on the F20's the pipe is different and supposedly upgraded and is also used on the M2 so i thought it might be a bit stronger, apparently not. Anyway will fit it tomorrow and get the boost back.

So I was helping Boytie with a Stage 1 MHD tune on his 2014 M135i. Everything went very smoothly and as we took it for its first run there was a pop sound and warning flashed up on the screen. A quick look under the bonnet revealed that the factory charge pipe had exploded where it meets the MAF. Now I know N54s are notorious for it but was surprised that a basic stage 1 tune would pop it, especially on a low km vehicle. Anyway I am looking for a charge pipe, any recommendations on who might have one in NZ? Poor old Mark has to slob it in my Toyota until I get it sorted.

Hey team I am looking at some E36 parts in Gisborne but the seller wont ship. Ideally if it could be picked up and maybe bought to Napier I can sort from there. As always happy to pay costs.

More details on the on the tune and Mods please.

Any updates?

Had one just like it and yes they are nice to drive.

Hmmm, I am not sure I want to roll the guards. I will give them a cleanup and put them in the for sale section.

On a whim I bought a set of 5 series style 32s thinking they were the 3 series versions. Just wondering if anyone has fitted them to an E36? They are 8x17 and 9x17, ET 20 and 26.

Rose City just listed it for 33k. Listed as 2990 cc.

As an E mountain bike rider I can confirm that the vast majority of E mountain bikes have assistance that cuts out at 32kph. Many commuter bikes are unlimited.

I have gone with Stop Tech Pads, I order them off Amazon or sometime Ebay. The ones I use are called Street Performance but I think they may have been renamed. Depends what you want performance pads or basic pads. Cheap pads will work of course but they cost less because they dont perform as well and most likely cant take repeated stops.

Funny I live in Upper Hutt and that's Bogan Harley territory. I have a 1150GS and I have no black Leather. They all look at me like I am an alien or something. Sorry but I like my twin cylinder motors to BOX!

Actually to be fair it was Aaron's sisters car but she obviously shares the same passion for clean cars as her brother.

Having had Ohlins in my E46 I can say it really makes a difference. Very nice 130.

Really enjoyed reading this thread.
