I never noticed the cowl weighing much. Edit: wonder what you're paying for those Turner cable ties
-
When I pulled mine they were spotless. How many kms are you at?
-
Some users get (multiple) warnings and are up for days with no price. I report them and nothing happens. Others are removed without explanation even when borderline. Guess you're not in the cool club? I just list everything on TM now.

Looks like scrap to me. 325i with a body kit?
-
Turns out when I took my 130i off so the finance Co could check money owing they removed all my vehicles. Opt out would have saved me otherwise they've confirmed. Bit of a glitch in their process if you ask me.
-
I just didn't find the 130i that impressive. It was an okay car but not memorable.
-
I don't want to clutter your thread, but happy to drop some pics during my ownership and from the ad when I bought it, if you're interested?
-
Love this shot. Who does your hedges?

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
Blackie replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
It's literally a five minute job to modify it - doesn't even need to be done nicely as the plate hides any F ups -
I've not watched it, but like anything mechanical it's not that difficult. I've built around half a dozen engines over the years - mostly rotaries but I digress. What you really want to get right though is the clearancing. If everything is within the correct tolerance then you will have an engine that lasts.

I'm in my mid 40s. Sold my 130i to get back into an E36
-
I wonder if the older mirrors could be retrofitted? I'm not bothered about other features as I won't use them but those cricket bats are something of a show stopper. 🤔
-
Has anyone else noticed that around 2010 the 130i and 135i changed to hideous oversized door mirrors?

The guy off trademe that makes the merc and bmw v8 ones?

Mild steel, thick wall. Check results then consider more exotic options. Have you considered cut n shut of 4cyl headers as a starting point?

Well they've been around since 1956 -
There are some hiding, but it's the old ponies % v money argument. Check out what they've done in Oz.

That sounds like a great place for a bimmer meet. Got space for tents? 😀
-
Hope he's got good engine mounts... not sure I'd be comfortable with that setup myself.
-
Are you making an appearance on Sunday up the coast? Be good to see you. 😀
-
If I were a gambling man, I think I'd just get one that is running fine for low/mid 20's, than spend 15k+10 on one that's already frigged.

Removing the viscous fan. We all assumed you already had one but it had failed?
-
Looks like a money pit. Wonder what BMW charges for a crank?
-
Oh gotcha.That's a tiny fan.
