They look great Rod! What tyre size are you going for?

Great write up, well done! Thanks for sharing. How are you enjoying the Xtrons? Do you know if the unit is compatible with the factory HK set up? My E46 Touring has Wide screen Nav and Harman Kardon but i read in a few places that some of these new units don't work with the factory HK setup.

What a thread, and well done for sticking with it and getting it all sorted! Like you say the cost will get absorbed by your enjoyment over the next few years. Enjoy your hard work!

Great work, love the attention to detail! Looking forward to seeing what unit you go for.

Bump - Would anyone have any of these mats? Cheers

Hi all, Would anyone have a set, or just a drivers mat to fit a BMW E30, like the ones shown below? They are original equipment mats, like a rope / wicker / rough material. I would consider any colour. Thanks

Good work, what sort of power are you hoping for? Was it fueling issues that affected the turbos?

Nice work, car looks great. Enjoy all your hard work! PS - I'd be trying a different tyre size to sort out the rubbing.

Hi Neil, so the NZ new M325i only had the ‘standard’ G260? I can remember the difference in the ‘boxes was quite noticeable when driving.

What is everyone's opinion on the differences between a UK 325i Sport and a NZ new M325i? I am from the UK and assumed the Sport was essentially the same as a NZ M325i - just a name difference? and as stated the best way to tell is a black headliner.

Hi all, I am looking for a M20 engine rocker cover to display on my garage wall. Anyone have any going cheap in and around Christchurch? Cheers

Bump- Anyone got any rear seats for sale? Cheers

Thanks for the offer Jon, I will see what else is available before i go down that route as its the complete seat that i really need. Cheers

Hi, I am after a set of E30 Rear seats (backrest & bench) for a coupe, but will consider from a 4 door, in the facelift silver cloth. So 1988 onwards. Must be in good condition. Thanks

Bump - Anyone?

Nice - The best sounding ones always had a scorpion middle & rear, good choice.

Hi all, I am after 1 or even 2 E30 15" Basketweave OEM BBS rims. Let me know if you can help. Cheers

Nice work, glad you got her sorted!

Nice to have found a obvious leak, my money is on this being the only leak. Hopefully the sealant will work, although its strange that you do not seat it all the way 'home' in its threads. Could the plug have gotten mixed up with another (longer) one when the short engine was at the machine shop?

Hopefully catch up again sometime soon at a Chch meet! Think there is a visit / tour Paul has organized this Saturday, I have put my name down.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Great progress Rod, the car looks great!

Hi Vass, Thanks for the comments - I decided to keep it, my other half loves it and was not too happy about it being sold, so she got her way and i withdrew the advert. Glad I did tho, I would miss it. Good luck getting yours sorted! Hopefully its just a hairline crack on the sensor.

Hi all, I have been reading a few threads about your E46's, so thought I would post a few pics of my daily. Its a 2003 330d M-sport Touring. Originally a UK Car, very high spec with factory sat nav, Harmon Kardon, Glass sunroof and heated seats. I really love the torque and power from these engines, and they even sound good! I have had no issues with it since my ownership apart from a new air con compressor last year. Its just been routine maintenance using genuine parts supplied from the BM Workshop here in ChCh. Thanks for looking.

Impressive! Those times are amazing. Did the Milltek help much?
