Yet to route the microphone - not sure what front speakers I have, but has some old dusty 6x9's in rear tray (rectangular cutouts so assuming did have the hifi speaker when new).

@E28E30 @Cammsport Modified reverse RDS with custom text (can have anything up to 8 characters) arrived today from Estonia in a week 😎 Very very happy - unit itself is mint including display and actually sounds pretty good - I also have option of adding amplifier too with optional RCA pre-outs. Genuine plug and play (installed after a long liquid lunch). Was about $700 landed so not cheap but hard to go past for the stock look and modern functionality - looks much better than the Blaupunkt SQR46 IMO which gets mixed reviews. FullSizeRender.mov

Waiting on Fed Ex to deliver my car parts so kept myself busy for an hour or so taking to 33 years of filth with a wire brush, some degreaser and Aerospace 303 to get the M20 looking presentable until I get round to restoring the manifold / valve cover / AFM / brake-booster properly next year. Was supposed to be a much more thorough job but decided in the heat that an 80% effort was good enough!

It will depend on your specific Autosure policy - bushings are usually considered wear items under 'Mechanical Breakdown' policies, but I recently was pleasantly surprised that my Provident warranty covered control arm bushings and oil leaks. Suggest taking it to a mechanic who will be able to properly diagnose and do all the dealing (negotiating) with the warranty provider on your behalf.

Great shot - they look very sharp together! Is that Sterling and Lachs?

FCP Euro and Fed Ex who I've never had take more than a week to arrive, have had my package stuck in AKL containing all my most awaited Holiday project goodies for a week and a half and no update. Meanwhile DHL got my new Radio from Estonia to Auckland in 2 days...

Very jealous of that roadtrip! Love driving in the South Island but only ever done it in rental Toyotas

Glass don't rust!

That would be amazing thanks Dave! When are you back in AKL? I'll likely not get around to this job (cambelt / waterpump) till First week of Jan anyway 👍

Thank you - I saw that - are 4 door / 2 door roof cuts / sunroofs interchangeable? Will take out headliner for a proper look later in summer and go from there...

Does anyone have a 32mm Fan Clutch tool in AKL? E30 but think they are the same Or does a wrench and mallet do the same job? Not removed one before as my E46 had an electric fan.

Was all remote pictures / chat - I think its a B20 though (albeit certed for B25). Still not bad value with all the extras.

@Ghost Chip this is the one I was looking at in October 🤔

@Mitch9894

Damn… perhaps I just enjoy this summer with a sunroof then do a delete… for, errr… weight savings. Or do you mean just your sunroof panel is rusting again?

Damnit! I don’t imagine rust free sunroof cassettes are easy to find either…

Its a guy on Instagram / IS Workshop who does them, from Estonia but checks out so will let you know when / if it arrives 🤣 You can have any 8 character custom text for the bluetooth channel / screen and a custom scrolling text when you turn it on - comes with an external mic for bluetooth calls etc. https://www.instagram.com/bmwradios/?hl=en https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-classified-forums/for-sale-wanted/parts-for-sale/9978890-original-bmw-radios-with-bluetooth-hands-free-and-button-control

Wow, thought it was going to be asking $60k or something 🤯

Beautiful beast and a sharp price IMO - GLWS!

That is a tough one, although the average asking price from four E46 M3's currently for sale is $62k now... including a vert and two autos.

Did you refurb these or get them done somewhere? If I end up keeping my Weaves will definitely need to refurb them next year...

Went for $46,100, seems like good buying these days TBH

100% - ordered new FCP OEM rear badge plus 325 & 'i' ('i' sold separately haha) and a $75 ///M badge front and rear 🤣 Even new Mtechnic stickers

325iX power

Depends on angle, but yeah, it’s a bit suss
