  1. My Mazda had an MOT too. Didn't stop the compliance place suggesting 20k worth of work ought to get it legal lol
  2. Don't forget if going manual, the clutch will potentially cost you $1200 alone.
  3. I've never used my nav either, must check, but then this is NZ and it's hardly needed lol
  4. M3 headers, the holy grail..if only.. Would these be of any benefit on a stock M52?
  5. I've noticed as I'm sure others have, lots of old/dead stickied posts that make the place look like it's unmaintained. I reported a fair few of these last year but no one seemed to be home (quick to delete my for sale post as I was trying to edit with a pic tho). How about a clean up / take out the trash? A couple of examples - there are more General discussion - Car Folie (pinned) - created 8 Jan 2011, user indicated business has closed on 15 Nov 2018 General discussion - Bimmersport Downtime - created 22 May 2016, last post 20 Dec 2016, hopefully resolved by now? News - Bimmersport News RSS feed - created 2 Jul 2007, unsurprisingly this no longer works. The FORUM RULES (yes all caps) - created 19 Nov 2008, the formatting of the post is awful and there's some real strange stuff in there (e.g. Warez - good memories) For Sale - Bimmersport 2013 Wall Calendars on Sale Now - 28 Nov 2012, yea For Sale - Bimmersport T-shirts - 8 Feb 2007, assuming no longer available, etc. Thoughts? And before the usual about how busy the mods are with family, etc. I'm happy to do this.
  6. Get same model. Not a difficult job to swap like for like.
  7. My cousin checked this out last time and no cracking, just too ugly for him.
  8. This isn't the car most people are thinking of?

    M43 engine

    Sent one for scrap a couple of weeks ago as had for sale for about a year. It was a mint runner too, only removed to go 6. Bad timing. ?

    M button

    One less thing to go wrong ?
  11. I've complained of companies doing that before but tardme does nothing...
  12. Still looking. Will consider bigger combos just dont want to spend a thousand. For an M52 engine and getrag.
  13. I`ve got a guy coming tomorrow, fingers crossed he doesn`t pull the same gag.
  14. Got another pig for collection. This time rolling but still same problems getting shot of it. ?

    e30 M50 coupe

    Wishing I had brought this instead of my 130. Good luck with the sale.
  16. The pic looks photoshopped to me. Both cars rear quarters have the same style curve 'reflection' and the background looks a bit MS paint
  17. Can't believe no one has mentioned the Maserati roof wing ?
  18. Preventative maintenance was dealer speak for fleecing when I was in the industry. We tried to do a lot of preventative maintenance.
  19. My E36 318ti (316i) cost me 2k. Its manual, handles great (on low springs) and is comfortable (mtec seats) and is great with the sunroof and good stereo. Handles way better than any of my coupes or sedans in the same variant. 110hp is enough for a first car. Heaps of fun.
  20. Motorsport blue is the colour to get imho although I also think they look quite good in white. Get an older one for the manual steering rack for sure.
  21. Anything to suit an M52 should be good. There are M3 type kits on trademe for around 1,200
