    Imo the interior with the wood really makes this one stand out. It pops. I'm a fan.
  2. Mine lasted 124k. No warning, just amber then red within 100 meters of road. Apparently bleeding them can bring on failure quicker according to the bmw specialist.
  3. Another one listed. I struggle to see how these cars are 'worth' 70k.
  4. 10 grand? Saw this tonight too and was telling wife about the hilarity of it. Doesn't say much for their 'yard' - looking for a sucker. excludes on road costs of course
  5. I think my water pump has died.... Does anyone know what my options are for a replacement? I will call BMW but also want to consider overseas, etc - just want to avoid anything that's a chinese knock-off and not sure I'd be able to tell the difference (!) so feel free to throw me reliable sources. Will replace the thermostat at the same time. Thanks all
  6. I thought this was very cheap at the time - not sure if it sold or not.
  7. Waiting to see these pop up on trademe with a markup and 'change of circumstances'.?
  8. B25 but more reasonably priced and comes with ECU, etc https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/engines/listing-2384941723.htm?rsqid=raws1-7958ca6a629c4f9b80238173d4408209-001
  9. Keep an eye on trademe. I got a low mileage one with all ancelleries for 1k.
  10. Wouldn't public holidays be an issue? Labour day on Monday for example.
  11. Don't buy then if you're that concerned. I've lived in the UK 12 years where you pretty much have free reign with cars and mods. No certs there.
  12. We're already enough of a nanny state thanks
  13. A cert for the coilovers is a doddle.
  14. Car Foile - sponsor of the general section - their website has gone. Edit: Sponors deals section doesn't appear to have had a post for a year.
  15. I agree with 330itis - some of the 30k ones have been on tardme for donkeys. There's also an M6 recently listed at $20k. Maybe it's the petrol prices....
  16. Purchased in error. Fits E36 320i, 323i, 325i, 328i E34 520i, 525i E38 728 Li Part number 5PK890 $20 plus postage

    2006 130i Manual

    Haven't seriously tried to sell this but just throwing it out there that I'm interested in part exchanges with 5k - 6k cash. Tidy E36 or something else interesting. The 130 has just hit 124k and runs great, no issues whatsoever, just it's only being used for train station runs when I should be catching the bus!
  18. I just use the aux plug, too easy
  19. Everything at Duttons is overpriced. $10k+ for a Morris Marina there
