for a 1.8 m10 from an 82 e21 318i 

anyone have a lead on one i can buy from NZ? any help would be much appreciated :))

  after a cylinderhead gasket kit for an 82 318i e21 (m10)

have found a few online but they're mostly overseas or for LHD 

anyone have any recommendations for a site or a place to order gaskets/gasket kits?

any help much appreciated  

i have a set of 4 15" e30 basketweaves with centrecaps

There has and always will be a market for tacky..

i cant work out if i like the colour, guess its one of those ones you'd have to see with your own eyes to make a precise judgement. Same goes for the interior. Regardless, it looks rather tidy.

Whats the 728i like performance wise? ive driven 730i and 740i and both seemed to have ample power for a comfortable drive..

thoughts?

options include :

- Automatic transmission

- 1 mark on rear bumper

- no cambelt

why fake the funk with the badges ? what is wrong with owning a 325i coupe? it says a lot about ones character to those who slap M or M3 badges on where they dont belong..

hey nice find, looks super tidy the wheels im selling would be perfect for it..

In Christchurch, welcome to come and view 0221560720. Can call between 10am-10pm if i dont answer txt me and ill call you back

Very nice! would make the perfect runabout. Due to its tidy original condition and the 15" basketweaves id say around the 6k mark would be a fair price, but hey advertise at 7 and you might be able to negotiate ono close to that 7k

is this possible ? i have a rather tidy 82 318i project that i plan on swapping the steelies for basketweaves, will this require spacers?

the amount of features BMW crammed into e38s for that time 94-2001 was just ridiculous. Beautiful looking cars though.

nice nice nice, although i do prefer the old alloy wheels that were on it, to each his own, just not a fan of black on black.

still looking ?

the lounge on wheels !

heres my old one 95 730i "the baby v8"

such a goddamn comfortable car to drive when driving ! (like driving a plush leather loungeset)

spent somewhere between 2-3k trying to fix a shuddering idle issue when braked at the lights after driving...

which lead me to selling it... fuel consumption was never really a worry as the 730 is a little less than a 740 & it was purely a recreational car as have work vehicle gas paid etc..

problem is with the e38s is bmw really went to town with alot of electrical components and whatnot meaning multiple expensive problems to fix in the future etc..

you can pick them up relatively cheap now a days as they dont seem to be that sort after because of how thirsty they are i guess??

In my opinion if you can find a late model low kms with everything working as it should, tidy example then go for it they really are a pleasure to drive if you dont mind the petrol bill...

nice if i had a garage i would be so keen, body looks great !

cheers guys, think ill just keep waiting for the time being.. ive really got my mind set on an e30 manual.. i maybe might go for a tidy 325i auto and do conversion later down the track as was told there are plenty of spare parts available and conversion not too hard of a job

hello all.

I was 1st introduced to bmw's when my parents purchased a 1990 e30 318i for my mom to use as a daily driver, it was the car i learned to drive in in my teenage years..

3 nissans and an e38 later i find myself back in a 1990 e30 318i same colour and everything the only difference is it has 2 less doors

problem is its auto and i really need some manual in my life...

Im from chch and i went to eurotec who apparently specialise in bmw to enquire about a manual conversion and they pretty much told me to not bother and find a manual 1...

so far ive bid on 2 manual 325i's e30's on trademe and been outbid..

I see that hell bm are known for doing swaps and ive mostly heard good things about them but yeah thats in AK.. Are there any places in chch/south island that do the conversion and how much will it cost?? roughly...if its not too much im thinking it could be worth it as the car is in reasonably good cond, the interior is pretty mint.. just a few dings on the drivers side and a lil front bumper damage.. but the car still looks pretty tidy considering...

Or would you recomend just waiting to find one that pops up on trademe or where ever...?? (im willing to spend around 10k)

any advice would be greatly appreciated

here's my current e30(sorry blurry photo) :
