Seems about right, add another 5k for a manual conversion and it's in the ballpark.

Have done nearly everything attached to the engine(or have parts to) except DISAs and Waterpump(already done) in less than 10k kms 🤣😭 Car had 176k on it and had been well maintained with service history for the previous 100kish kms it had been in NZ.

Up to 2.5k now, pushing the budget out 🤣

FedEx shipping charges based on volume and weight, springs are bigger and heavier than arms. You're looking at a default $50 shipping to start on anything that has a little bit of weight to it.

Shipping price hasn't changed, was always $80-100 and it gets here in a week FedEx fully insured. That's why you do a big order 😂

M3 control arms are back in stock at a reasonable price on fcpeuro, earlier they were $350US https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-control-arm-kit-5-piece-m-upgrade-bmwmcakit

I have Ohlins adjustables in mine, though I don't know how that would stand up to rally stages. Certainly a substantial upgrade over stock M-sport Suspension. https://www.ohlins.com/product/road-track/1-series-2004-2011/

Saw it pop up on my trademe search and recognised it immediately, still such an epic car. Hoping you get all the money for it!

Bit of a late reply, discovered I'm not getting notifications from bimmersport at all. Definitely my old car, lovely drive and @Brianr70 is a great guy as well!

I would have been keen on this too Edit : this definitely won't fit my car lol Will pass. These grills are so hard to find

I'd be keen on the tail lights. Would need to organise a pick up from someone.

I thought he was being sarcastic, with the cheap reserve price, but it likely does need something major like that done. Owner has replaced engine previously (curious?) and manual swapped the car so obviously somewhat mechanically competent. Seems to deal in/work on cars by their past listings. The fact that they're letting it go cheap and that they're not prepared to fix it is pretty telling.

I've had that kit in my cart for a year or so, it was out of stock for a while. They also recommend this install kit to go with it, is it needed as well? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-control-arm-bolt-kit-31106763928kt

It's been on trademe for a while, they've lowered the price a couple of grand.

Bridgestone has RE003 buy get one half price atm

I've just seen that 40% off sale on hyperdrive. Tempted to yolo the Laufenns and try them out. Seems way too cheap at $260 for two tyres 🤔

Have RE003s as well. Was recommended Hankooks or Laufenns last time I asked about tyres, will be trying Laufenn LK03 when I replace my fronts

Have they sent you the wrong headers? I swear all the pics I've seen on aliexpress have the o2 sensor in a different spot

Forgot to comment on this but can I send you mine lol My cover has been sitting on the desk for months, went with the stock style in leather with the perforated hand grips.

Pics, still interested...

Idk but interested Edit: I ordered some from Schmiedmann in September last year and they still haven't shipped them 🙄

If it's too good/cheap to be true, it probably is.

Yep I've got mine as 128i too

Realoem to get the specific part number of what you're after. Put part number into fcp euro. Order part 💵

I'd be interested in that list! Changing the cooling system along with the front pulleys and belt, I'd have done nearly everything on the motor 😅
