  1. Go for Glenn, Had to ask for advise about a week ago, Fantastic, I ended up buying a ball joint tool by the way glen. Oh and also have a look at my post in Peformance RE e30 Race car
  2. Run NGK no worries in my m62, seemed to last longer than the bosch,
  3. Get a T-Kay test done, This checks for combustion gases in the cooling system.
  4. Know where there is a m52b25 engine for sale, Mint, with gearbot for $1250, ecu etc
  5. This helps to heat up the cat quicker.approx 3 times faster.
  6. Dam, I sold my 5HP for $1000, Thats sooo cheep!!!
  7. Or you could join the wires, thus giving the same result as having a mint sensor. A good mechanic should check the pads every time it is serviced and warranted.
  8. Check sensors, Located on front left and rear right wheel, may have come out of the caliper, or worn through
  9. Mongoose make a "Over the top" alarm, so you still use your factory key remote, then is senses this, and arms and disarms to suit, 5 star systems, they work really well, and are very good quality, i have one in my 740i. beeps when you push button on key to unlock/lock,
  10. I'm 20, and it has an aftemarket exhaust, and i have a heavy foot, lol
  11. My Peugeot Diesel: Around town: 6.7L per 100km (and i am heavy footed) Open road: 4.8 to 5.3 L per 100km My 740i Around town: 28.8L per 100km Open road : 11l per 100km Haha now do you see why the diesel is my daily driver?
  12. Excuse the ignorance.....but what exactly does the sulpher affect?
  13. I drove a new Mini Diesel 6 speed in the weekend, what a cool car!!!! very fast as well!!!
  14. LOL, Dizzys went out a loooonnnng time ago. Try what i suggested , that will put you on the right track mate!
  15. My M-spec 328i has a different ratio diff to a non m spec. Same as my old e36 320i m sport, different ratio diff.
  16. Use a test light, Bulb style(not LED) and connected it to a earth, then hold it in pin 7 for 20 seconds, with the ignition on but vehicle not started. e36 requires more current than an e30, so test light is a safe way to do it, Also if you require a battery call 0800 supercharge. Best batterys on the market, being fitting them for 5 years now, and never had one come back, 36 month warrenty
  17. Supercharge battery's are no doubt the best. starter motors are a common problem with the 328i, they are a denso unit and are cheap brand new through pan pacific, best place to start is pulling the exciter wire of the starter and check if it is getting voltage when the key is in crank position.....
  18. 0273 712 058, Please get her to call me, Need to get rid of my 740 and get something more sensible, Have cash, ta
  19. Haha, Not to far of eh? You should put up the fuel consumption specs to! That would be a laugh !!!
  20. sent it in for stone chip repair under insurance, came back with new cheap chinese windscreen without my permission, They broke the bottom trim in my 740, then broke the rain sensor pad you could actually see it(reusing it), so no more auto wipers, they would not fit a genuine screen, as genuine screens come with pad, Did not swap over my service sticker, and most importantly my mackas VIP sticker. Anyway after about 3 weeks they replaced screen again, wipers have never worked on auto since, Also fitted screen to my hilux, its great, when it rains you get a wet lap!!!!! Yeeee haaaa Theres my review of Smith & Smith, I have used novus a few times and they are fantastic, even got my car back cleaned/vaccumed!
  21. I had to pick my Pug up from Duneden, then drive back to Rotorua, Cheapest transporter i could get was $1200, Oh also transporters only cover up to $1500 worth of damage, and they are very good at pushing floor rails in driving them on to there trucks at speed, I flew down, All up inc airfares, for 2 people, fairy, fuel, food and accommodation for 5 days was about $1400, And its sooooo soooo worth a holiday, south island is beautiful man,
  22. How long does it take to crush a car....start to finish? I had better slow down, already lost my licence in my 740 once! oh and so have two of my other friends, same friggin car...I might as well have "pig bait" across the back windscreen,
  23. Sorry, Thats because im a forum noob!!! I'll keep that in mind!!
  24. I had to fly all the way to Duneden to get my Pug, In auto, It is 2004 so it has the adaptive box, it is better than a manual, Lol, lets not turn this into a auto/manual war though. It changed down gears when approaching corners, or under braking, it adapts to your style of driving, I think that auto is better in a diesel, but a BMW M3 should defnitley be Manual
  25. I sold one a year ago for $1300 on trademe for engine, and $900 for Auto, no computer, but engine was complete smilieface
