Looking for a M135i to turn into a track day car. Complete car or project with panel or mech issues Prefer black I've looked at everything on Facebook and Trademe. They're too nice/expensive for what I'm after. Alternatively, if someone can give me a price to convert a 116 / 118 to N55 that isn't ridiculous I'll look at that too. Thanks

Looking sharp Aiden, the seats and steering wheel look sharp! Appreciate the attention to detail, keep it up

Looking sharp mate! Really like the attention to detail and the organisation of the plated goodies

Per title, I'm on the hunt locally and internationally for a classic BMW 1502 / 1602 / 2002. Preference is an earlier roundie but happy to look at options. RHD or LHD, engine/trans not required. Not interested in concours cars, just something with good bones. Will travel to view if needed and will pay a finders fee if a lead turns into a sale. Thanks

Great thanks, I'll look them up.

Looking for advice on who to use for machining. Preferably Auckland but happy to ship to someone who knows what they’re doing for a race engine. R53 mini block requiring sleeves and balancing. R53 head for big valve upgrade and race port/polish. I’ve used Taylor auto and Franklin cams, so am looking for other options.

Never thought I’d see the day @M3AN!!! Wicked little car and getting rarer. 100% on the manual swap.

In silver e46 #562. I would’ve got it today but was in a rush. Hope that helps someone here

Hi mate pm me and we can discuss. I don’t seem to be getting notifications on this thread for some reason.

Def go the e90 booster over the clio one. #1 easier to find (and remove from donor) and #2 better booster feel.

Yep 8HP in both. I mean DCT to clarify its not 6HP auto. A B58 would be mega but still very pricey over here Interesting to learn the 8HP bellhousing is slightly different on the 4 cyl vs 6 cyl even though they're the same box ID.

Yes, this not financially viable but I have other reasons to ask. Current car = 2013 118i DCT. Want to swap it to N55 / DCT. After a lot of research I've landed on getting either a complete wreck (which is a pain because I can't store it) or get a complete N55 / DCT / ECU / TCU from a running wreck. I can handle the install, cooling, power steering etc and plugging in but is there any other wiring / coding to consider if it's a complete drop out and drop in swap? Thanks

I have a couple of projects which need minor welding / panel and paint as I don’t have time or space any longer. Not after show paint but good tidy work. Any recommendations from people who have used a supplier? cheers

If anyone has any of the following please reach out: S65 complete or rebuildable S85 complete or rebuildable E9x M3 damaged with drivetrain - unfortunately missed out on the one at Manheim late last year I'm also looking overseas if anyone has any recommendations of places to check (not CoPart).

These have been flying out the door for locals in NZ and as far away as Poland, Indonesia and Portugal. Go figure. Anywho, I have bulk stock of E46 versions ready to go for those who have decided to LS, 2JZ or turbo their E46's All come with installation instructions, exchange form and a quality product that looks OEM and uses only OEM parts. Note - E36 joints are getting harder to find and E30 joints are near on impossible without #bmwtax so will only be offering those on exchange basis.

Thanks Brent. I'm going down the rabbit hole...

Been offered a very tidy and worked E91 335i. Great spec, ticks all the boxes except it is the 6HP auto box. I've done a lot of research into the 8HP box with the likes of Turbolamik etc but as it's going into a model that had the DCT box post 2011 (?) I wonder what else is required to 'factory swap' it - ie. no aftermarket parts, all OEM. 6 speed ZF GA6HP19Z box in the car currently. I'm fine to get the parts and do the wrench work, the TCU / electronics are the hard part for me

Great to see it on the car @Vass- I rarely get to see the finished product in place as they go all over the world. Very tidy build, well done!

Seems rather OTT. I've had 300km+ cars with no rack change. There's not much inside the racks so it could actually be your inner tie rod rather than the rack itself.

It would as the Z3 is based on an E36 chassis and the purple tags are from E36/E46 chassis, BUT the Z3 should be a blue tag in which case there's not much benefit for you.

1x available, no outer tie rods. Available for pickup in Auckland after 16th Nov. Pm me if you’re keen.
