Was out of a Japanese car but has the radio converted to NZ bandwidth, the language changed to English and the software updated. Thats as far as I got with it as I fixed mine and don't need this one anymore

Only the cic left!

Bumpy

So I booked the car in for the blower connector recall in a couple of weeks and while I was there asked about fixing the cic. 

The tech said all they would do is connect it to ista-p and let it do it's thing. I've already done that and it won't touch it. He also said I couldn't "have" an ICOM unit. Weird ?.

Anyone out there with an ICOM????? Surely!!

Car is an e90 335d btw

Yeah the whole car is Ethernet in the f-series. I've got every other program working. Flashed with winkfp and ista-p. Really should not have tried flashing the cic through k+dcan though lol

I've got ALL the cables haha. I'd read that the cic is wired for Ethernet after a certain year and and it looks like mine is but I can't get it to connect. 

Does anyone have the BMW ICOM setup that I can rent for a fee? I have a CIC here that needs recovering and I'm trying to avoid spending 400 bucks for a one time job. 

I'm in Chch. 

I've got a whole bunch of m52 and m54 parts for sale mate. If you're interested send us a pm.

How much for front x-brace?

Form, function or both? Either way keep your eyes on this thread as updates on ownership and the possibility of copies will be posted here first. 

Mostly form, I envisage a silver/black colour scheme. 

But I'm sure a little less lift at the front wouldn't go astray either. 

EXACTLY the sort of lip I want. 

Sign me up for a replica. Carbon plz

Ive got a whole bunch of parts from a turbo project that I've decided to kick to the kerb.

Cometic m5x 0.140" MLS headgasket- Brand new, still in its wrapping $250

Mild steel m5x turbo manifold flange- Bought from another failed turbo project, brand new $100

850cc Ebay injectors- Bought off Ebay from an Australian  store, supposedly have Bosch EV1 cores, brand new $300

Located in Christchurch, but I'm happy to ship. CHEERS!

I have turbo parts for sale if you decide to go ahead with it ie. Garrett turbo, injectors, MLS head gasket

Chasing a 3 litre stroker kit, preferably just the crank + rods and pistons but happy with a whole engine with a rooted head or similar. Located in Christchurch. 

I can only find complete running engines for circa 2 grand which is a tad cost prohibitive. @HELLBM are out of stroker kits at the moment. 

I did find an m54b30 from an e46 330i with 40000kms on it though. DME to exhaust manifold for $1900. I dont think it's quite what I'm after though

On a side note, how'd you get your m50b30 together? Did you build it yourself? I'm trying to build one myself but I'm finding m54b30s a tad hard to come by and slightly cost prohibitive. 

You don't happen to have any of those cool interiors for a sedan?

They are soooooo nice. Wish my local pick-a-part had that sort of stuff laying around

Glad I could help!

I assume you have the engine out of the car? Why not get the journal reground with new appropriately sized bearings?

Want? Yes! Haha, nah I'm just trying to see what people want for one that needs a little work. I'd think 4-5k?

What's the condition of your old engine? It's not seized is it? And what's your plans with it?

Sorry for the late reply. I do actually. I had both an m50 and m52 and pretty sure it's the m52 I have left.
