got a brand spankin new wof for the e36 at SJ's (EUROHO above) shop apex automotive! 

 

checked out to be A-OK which im very happy about. always a pleasure to chat with one of the nicest guys i know. if anyone needs any work done be sure to check him out in the north shore @ apex (shameless advertising for ya)

Just for your information I ve got a spare one now. It is after market but brand new and fully functional.

Going cheap for the members. Just my cost. $89.

washed her and went for a ride.

yeap. I sent you pm.

New spark plugs in the 540i. Lots of "fun" with cylinders 4 & 8 (tight)..

Thanks to the Bavarian black magic it decided to work again. Just like that. But I will pm Brent for a spare one.

Nice specd also but the photo of the engine bay is scary. would be interesting to see how it drives.

Red color very becoming with the motorsport package

I can take them away from you. better than the bin.

I have two e39 cars and I am looking at the market constantly.

in my opinion the pricing of this particular model is just all over the place in nz.

This car being a manual and a Schnizer version has its own target audience.

Being a nz new is a great thing but only if the service history is there.

Then there is no reason to drop your pants. Just be patient. it might sell in one day or one year....

Most important YOU decide the price not the market. There is always a buyer that will be prepared to pay for it.

My personal suggestion, keep it !!!

I was checking online today it looks like my 1999 540i and my 2003 525i will be only $135 a year (almost halved)

...but my 328ci will be $175 a year.

Have you checked out your car new rates?

Very well done and structured troubleshooting. Good on you.

Just heads up after 1 month of usage. Good tires. Quiet and very good performance on wet.

any interest? I haven't put it on trademe. The car has been sitting in the garage and every time I see it I say no I am not going to sell it but Mrs. goes mental. Too many cars

Flexible with the price if it goes to a member.

facelift headlights installed. look good.

half the way, one side installed....

and...

both installed....

True they use Asian made glasses. But I have not noticed any annoying window noise up to 140km/h.

smith and smith Penrose branch in great south road great work on both of my e39.

I can take it. Cheers

My passenger door lock actuator died today. the lock will not react on the remote lock /unlock remote control or button.

it will work fine manually though.

any recommendations on troubleshooting before I pull out door card and get into the actuator itself. just need to make sure that the actuator is dead for sure.

Cheers

depends on the usage. maybe ok for cruising around the city but would not trust them in fast routes on state highway. but they are not ancient anyway.

New spark plugs / ignition coils for the 525i and new led interior lighting for the 540i.

I have a 525i 2003 very tidy we got it for my fiance as a daily. nice car, lack of power and definitely no where near to the v8 sound of my 540i.

BUT it is quiet it is economical and you are getting a lot of a car and equipment for the money.

go for it....

?

Nice car. I would not worry too much about the cooling system. My biggest concern would be chain tensioner and vanos issues.

Good price. not sure of the keys issue.

yes I did already. no dramas. I was just hoping that for once in nz we could get some quality stuff.

Just for your information the filter I got from Transmax was made in China and there was no brand name. Hopeless...
