  1. Had a look at this. Had what I thought was the usual N52 lifter tick, but it didn't go away after a blat in the 100km zone. Had apparently just been "serviced" too but the oil smelt very burnt. Bumper had come loose at some point, so there's a tek screw holding it on 😪. Hole in the leather in the front seat. No service history/receipts at all. Few holes in stories too with servicing and reason for selling (went from "wanting to buy a 4x4" to "moving overseas"). I probably would've still been keen until I saw the score marks on the cam lobes. He didn't like my very low offer, so I walked away.
  2. 340,000kms and not alot of servicing history
  3. Hi, wondering if you have the following available? and if so, how much? Pair of FL tail lights Centre console for a coupe with no cut outs for electric windows or the sport switch. drivers sill trim that covers where the carpet meats the edge. (approx 1metre long, black) Thanks!
  4. "By far the cleanest BMW in NZ"
  5. Awesome advice @Driftit, this is the goss I'm after. We may not go with the sleep out on the side. Was just easier to get around council rules of the amount of dwellings/buildings on a section if they were to be separate.
  6. Hi all, We're in the realms of looking to build a shed in the future. I've watched a plethora of YT videos on builds, but unfortunately they're usually from abroad. Does anyone know of any "build" threads in this forum or another? Or willing to share their builds/experiences? Any YT channels that could scratch my itch? Our ideal build would be a 3-car garage with generous room around the circumference to not ding doors etc. Bit of space for shelving and a work bench. Over-the-top lighting for paint correction and late nights. Would be great to have a self contained sleepout at the end too for family member to come stay and have their own space. Pictures of the pipedream attached.
  7. They're buggers of engines to find in NZ. I have a spare block here but I can't let it go before I get my engine running. Just incase I need something from it. If it ends up being spare, I can flick ypu a message.
  8. 1st one, I'd love to see the body work on that tail light in person. And I need someone in palmy who could look over it with better pics. 2nd one, could be keen. I'd love something that's not silver, but beggars can't be choosers. @Olaf, I love the M5x engines.
  9. Hey mate, the link did work for me. I can't recall what was in it though to be honest. I didn't end up getting it to go correctly. Sold the car awhile ago.
  10. Bump, before I buy an Escudo or something ugly/practical 😅
  11. You know you want to recover from the Xmas splurge. Sell me your E46 touring 😘
  12. @Allanw, you're right, the starter fluid should make it fire if the compression is good. Which makes me think the compression is not good (which it's not, in the original post). But the leakdown test and timing is good. Next to no leaks. Which is where I'm lost. Engine was supposedly running before it was pulled. As trustworthy as the next person on Trademe I guess. Have had the injectors unplugged (when I was building fuel and oil pressure) and crank sounded uniform. Yip, the white smoke is uncombusted fuel coming from the turbo outlet. It can be seen in the engine bay as the dpf isn't plumbed in. Had the valves all apart and they're in perfect condition and dead straight. Have had timing checked by two others. Where I'm at now is... Drain the fuel tank and put fresh diesel in. Swap out the hydraulic lifters, incase they're not letting the valves get proper lift or duration. Thanks again @Allanwfor brainstorming with me.
  13. I know I posted a pfl, silver, non-msport wagon. But its a good picture 😅
