Contrails

G'day everyone, The ABS light has illuminated on the dash, the car is a 1987 E28. The light only comes on when I start driving forward. But stays off during start and idle. With the help of another forum member, we cleaned the front left wheel speed sensor but the right sensor won't come off and seems to be permanently stuck. Any tips of getting this sensor off? From what I have read online, the plan is to take all four sensors offline and then attach them back in one by one and see when the light comes to diagnose the faulty one. And or, with the help of a voltmeter test the resistance of each sensor and the one that gives the erratic reading would most likely be the faulty one. Also, is it possible with the use of the diagnostic tool for the E28 to find the fault? Anyone had this issue before and tips as to what did you do to to rectify? Thanks

Looking forward to seeing this in person at the next Auckland meet.

A very nice purchase indeed. Enjoy. Hope to see you at some Bimmersport meets.

Cheers, will definitely give OCD a call then.

Cheers for the replies everyone. Looks like I will be waxing it myself from time to time. Andrew, your f10 535i is out of the budget but would love to have two 535i in the garage.

G'day everyone, A new BMW is being added to the family, a 2012 F30 328i. The dealer has also offered BMW Paint and Upholstery protection for $1000 with lifetime warranty. Is it snake oil or actually worth it? And will it help with the resale value in 3-4 years time? Regards,

E30 coupe? When I was hunting around for a BMW, I saw a gorgeous black E30 325i convertible with tan leather and manual for $7k and it looked absolutely mint! I was just a little late in contacting the buyer but I would love to have one in the garage.

Steve, if you don't mind me asking what camera and lens are you using for these shots? Regards

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/specialist-cars/competition-cars/auction-1057934464.htm I will have one in white with a S62 please. Now, time to go get that lotto ticket.

Another option, M parallels.

Maybe, I would opt for BBS Rs or polished style 5.

IMO, If a person is buying this as an investment at 175k I think it's a bad idea. If I had 150k-200k and I wanted to invest in cars especially, I would start at E87 1M coupe/E28/E34/E39 M5 /E46 M3 CSL.

The one that requires least maintenance.

Did the car have AP springs in it when you brought it to the meet? I remember it had a nice stance to it then.

Hi Barry, You could try http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBD-Inspection-Oil-Service-Reset-Tool-for-BMW-E28-E30-E34-E36-E38-E39-20-Pin-/331588175950?hash=item4d3432084e:g:ML8AAOSw~gRVh5q2&item=331588175950&vxp=mtr It seems the tool is the same for E30 and the E28.

IMO, you will get bored of this very quickly. End of the day, I would rather take a car with power and good handling than audio/looks/inflatable hot chick in the passenger seat. Here's an E39 540i exhaust clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD_OdUxvXIQ

Thanks Matt, will keep that in mind. Car is still getting complied so haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

e46 330ci perhaps...

Thanks for that info d_f, will be speaking to the guys from Botany Motor Works/BM workshop about PPI before committing to the sale.

G'day everyone, We are looking at the following car on trademe. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1035531612.htm What are the things to watch out for in these cars? This one has the I-drive system. Are they reliable? I have read to stay away from the 2.0 Engines (320i) therefore looking at the 325i. Also, I will be doing a PPI check with BM workshop or Botany Motor Works before committing to the sale. Worth getting a mechanical warranty? Thanks
