Hi team after a set of style 32’s for a e38 - anybody wrecking one or have a set lying around? North Island only cheers

Any ideas if I would need the b40 ECU to run? What kind of $$ would you want for it? Mark

Hi team, Have a E38 with a very sad M60b30 engine and am trying to find a replacement engine - anyone have anything running and sound they are selling? Mark

Hi guys, I am looking at replacing my 525i high mileage N52b25 engine which suffers from the dredded lifter clatter and excessive oil consumption to a N52b30. From what I can see both the 525 and 530 share the same ZF6HP transmission, radiator + other ancillarys and are practically 1/1 identical apart from displacement. My question is apart from swapping over and possibly coding the b30 DME and CAS module - is there anything else members would think is a stumbling block? Thanks in advance Cheers!

Good used condition, perfect upgrade for non motorsport BMW or replace damaged ones. These wheels are 18x8 all around and tires are a 245/40/18 A few kurb marks as showen in pictures. Off BMW 550i and will fit all E60 bmws plus many more models. Continental Contact Sport 5 tires with approx. 4.5mm and Dunlop tires with approx. 3mm of tread. $525.00 for Bimmersport members

Any e46 m3's for sale or maybe up for sale soon that are not on Trademe? Would prefer manual, stock, and under 150,000km Ideally under 25k Chur chur

Is this still for sale or has someone got a bargain already?!

Agh. Thought I saw it driving through Te Awanga a couple of Sunday's ago...looks amazing ......

Looks mint!

Thoughts guys!? :/

Very nice, arnt the 540i E60 faster than the 545i?

Looks mint, might view tomorrow..

If he hadnt ruined it im sure he might get close to what hes asking for it... a shame, obviously has little knowledge on M3 engines then! "no test pilots" LOL

Wow thats hidious, looks to be mint but really? Theres a point that you can start to over do a car and this is a perfect example.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-879836795.htm 5k, 2.8 manual. Nuff said! Awesome

they put the tire under air pressure found the pinhole puncture and heated up the rubber and put this resin in it. pretty cool stuff

A new car only 6 months old with new tyres does not need a balancing on all 4 tyre imo. They didnt take the tyre off the repair the puncture, they used this heat thing and injected rubber stuff in it (weird I know) Just there whole approch as Benjamin was saying is pushy and bad!

Bridgestone make a nice quiet tyre. Remember ringing Tonys Tyre service (Dodgiest f**kers in the trade) and asking for some second hand tyres, his response was they dont do them because once they have been removed from a wheel the sidewalls perish and you a "almost certainly" going to get blowouts and that tyres arnt designed to be removed and can only be fitted once!. He then went on the quiz me about tyres asking how much I want to spend, If i was going to buy them today. I remember my Grandmother went in there to get a puncher repaired "Free!" and ended out paying $19 getting the pressure tested and nitrogen filled and wheels balanced for $60 when the car was near new and only traveled 12,000km...Goes without saying beware! ___________ Rant over

Definantly luck of the drawer when buying off TM. I got lucky and scored 2 falkin highest spec 275/35/18 for 120$ with 7mm tread!

If my SL sells I will definitely be viewing your wagon mate! \ 250000km maybe just a bit too many though? however from what ive read, a little maintained 80,000km example is worst than a 250,000 maintained one!

wow thats mint. Wheels really suit

Original trans?

Thats so awesome. Need to sell mine first !

OMG soooooooo tempting. Kms would be only worry. Any engine work/tranny work done? Does it use oil. whats paint like?
