    M TOY M3

    Love this thing bro! have to catch up some time! Come to Brit and Euro Classics on Sunday
  3. Unfortunately bud it's a fibreglass replica. The whole kit is a fibreglass "m3 look" kit. Hahaha

    F30 320D M Sport

    No they aren't dude. But after some calculations regarding the speedo error vs offsets and widths these are the sizes I decided. The 20s will look good! I am selling the vehicle now unfortunately. My wedding is fast approaching and my finds are tied up in property so I can't sell that quick enough to ensure I have the adequate funds to make the wedding in the UK happen the way we want it to. Tough decisions but I will look at getting a 330d at the end of the year
  5. Not mine but prepped this kitted 88 320i sedan for an engine swap and manual conversion. Did a little round of pics with my client's vert and mine and also swapped in my mtech 1 steering wheel and fitted my tech 1 boot spoiler on the vert. Today was a busy day. Also listed my f30 320d up for sale.
  6. Another day, another project on the e30 after work. Today I test fitted my tech 1 boot spoiler and put on my mtech 1 steering wheel. It's amazing what these subtle changes do for the car. Still loving it beyond description. I have listed my F30 up for sale as rising wedding costs are putting pressure on me financially so one of these toys have to go. I also did a mini shoot with my old man's Baur and a clients lachssilber metallic factory manual 325i convertible. Today was a good day!

    Mine actually rides a bit better and the speedo is now 100 percent accurate according to GPS. it was over-reading 2kph before. haha I love how it rides without the run-flats. I personally think the 20's suit the F30 chassis quite a bit more because of how big and aggressive the F30 looks. I have actually listed it for sale as the wedding plans have had the whole schedule moved up a bit so it must go now. I will not sell the E30 no matter what and I can always replace the F30 later on this year. My father-in-law-to-be has stage 4 cancer so it's tightened up our timeline quite a bit to sort everything incase something happens to him. Also I am running 255/35/20 on the rear and 245/30/20 on the front and I live rural and the country roads are quite sketchy at times and this has handled it fine the last few days. I am happy with it
  8. What a beauty she is too!
  9. Not mine. But sorted a clients e30 out properly. Did the rear output shaft seal, selector shaft seal, transmission guibo, rebuilt the shifter with new bushings and pivot cup, did the control arms and control arm bushings in the front, inner rack ends and tie rod ends, rocker cover gasket and set the valve clearances. Today was a good day. Also got the black one in the picture in for a m20b25 swap and manual conversion. Currently is a m20b20 with a knocking big end bearing. Pictures posted with clients consent. Love my clients

    Okay so got some rims off a mate for free. They were sitting in his garage and had the correct specs for the f30. Fronts are 20x8.5 et 35 and rears are 20x9.5 et40. Put them on yesterday and gave it a massive detail with Luxxio cleaning and detailing products. They are a local business here in Wairau Valley, North Shore and I decided to give their products a whirl. My lord! I am beyond impressed. I used their car wash and their speedy shine formula as well as Formula X wheel cleaner. The pictures speak for themselves. The car is cleaner and has a more deep shine than it ever did. Not to mention the speed shine stuff is very hydrophobic. I was getting water beading off the car effortlessly. Let me know everyone's thoughts. I love this car so much but she was getting jealous as all my affection was directed at the e30 since I got it. About time I gave it some love. Also if anyone is interested in the Luxxio products, here is a link. I was a loyal Meguirs man before today but I am totally converted. I love supporting local businesses. https://luxxio.co.nz/shop/
  11. Wicked dude! see you there. I will be with my old man. we have to be there at 7!
  12. Drove it once this weekend as it was my eldest's 6th birthday. Took the dog out for a drive and walk which he loved. May be going to the Brit and Euro show next Sunday with my old man and his baur. Anyone other e30 owners on here going?
  13. Bump will do a deal for bimmersport members
  14. I have personally been doing all the mechanical work on this car. It is one of the cleanest examples I have ever seen. It drives really good and all the big ticket items have been done. The brakes have just been done with brand new Brembo rotors, all fluid leaks have been repaired and new power steering feed pipes have been made and fitted. It is in extremely good condition and whoever owns this will not want to sell it for a long time. The engine is healthy and the gearbox shifts smoothly through any rpm range. Good luck with the sale @Sam7
  15. love the Late Brake Show! that car looks insanely good!

    E30 Vert

    that's fair enough bro!

    I have been neglecting this one since I got the e30 and this is meant to be my daily haha. I will be using it soon but it's off to get tinted tomorrow at a place called Studio Finish in Browns bay. They do some beautiful tinting, PPF and high end Vehicle wrapping etc. Think Aston Martin DB9 and Rolls Royce Phantoms, Bentley etc

    E30 Vert

    No bro! The vert dream is the best dream but good luck with the sale. I thoroughly loved your car so much all those years ago but I understand that life happens my guy
  19. Also today I replaced the gas struts for the convertible top storage compartment. They were beyond poked and it gets rather annoying having to hold the lid up everytime I want to drop or put back on the top. The little things also made a friend at the gym in Albany just now. Well my car did haha
  20. Love a good double take mate! Will be around the bays more often due to the lovely weather at the moment
  21. Fitted the seats I had reupholstered about 4 to 5 years ago in finally. They compliment the grey really nicely. Also fixed my odo gears with new one's as the odo stopped working just after I fitted the seats coincidently
  22. Great day for a cruise to Browns Bay. Thanks to the other e30 drivers I saw today. Good bunch of lads
  23. Hahahah thats a good one bro! Will probably use that plate for our tech 1 coupe shop build we doing next! Thanks bro! Yeah I think it looks pretty cool too. The car is getting a full respray in a few weeks and then I can get the skirts painted and fitted as well as the tech 1 rear wing. Need to swap over the roof I have for it which is already on a frame as this one just lets it down.
