Just need the red LED cover at the bottom of the mirror. 

anyone got a busted mirror or car for breaking?

I need to get my engine cover and intake manifold refreshed on my e36 m3.  
 

im happy to take them off. But who is best to return them here in Auckland?

any recommendations?

TIA

Is there a good source for bulk Castrol 10w60 supercar? I have three cars that need Castrol 10w60

I used to buy it in 20l packs in the Uk. But cannot find anything other than the 5l packs. 

any good sources for bulk castrol?

just to be clear. I don’t think the e82/9x platform has issue running the full coils in the rear. It was a problem on older generations. 

in fact running stiffer springs in the stock location can be the cause of subframe damage due to increased flex. 
 

anyway. LVV wins. I’ve decided to revert the system to the divorced setup. 

thanks. Yes looks like getting new springs and perches I the easiest way forward. 

LVV is quite a strange process. 
here are your options:

1.  Get an engineering approval for the change

2.  Get new springs and perches

ok I’ll take option 1.  How do I do it?

oh… nobody takes Option 1  try again  

😂 

I’m putting an e82 1 series track car through LVV currently. 

It’s a lovely process that’s designed to keep the economy moving 😂

The vehicle currently has full rear coilovers installed. (From the UK). 
 

the LVV cert guy is adamant that I need to change this to the original divorced setup with spring on the lower control arm. 

Can anyone confirm if I have any chance to keep the full coilover? Or should I just buy the required bits to convert back to the divorced setup. 
 

Looking for a replacement e9x m3 diff.  
Any ideas best place to find one?

I’ve tried calling the main dismantlers and tried a few builders like Allport. 
Any other suggestions?

Is the best option to import from overseas?

I could also use one of these. Anyone got another?

I have one of these racks in my e36 m3 and can confirm this is a good upgrade on the crap e36 rack. 
 

Thanks for the input all. I'm told you can fit three in one container which reduces shipping costs by quite a bit.

That's made the decision easy and all three will be on their way shortly.

Hope to meet some more BMW owners in summer ? 

The E82 is this vehicle:

Great car. Currently in the UK. But will arrive here in Oct.

As it is now:

nice info thanks... biggest issue is getting it serviced etc and selling remotely. But i take your point and appreciate the info.

Hi there,

Moved back in Feb just before lockdown.

I have an E36 M3 Evo in the UK. 

Thoughts on whether I should bring that vehicle to NZ or sell in the UK?

I was originally just going to keep it in the UK.

But travel back and forth looking shaky and it's already been sitting for a year.

It is mostly stock except for wheels and suspension.

I have the original wheels and it came from the factory with the class II rear wing and ACS exhaust. 

I have fitted the gt front splitter, rear risers, strut brace and bottom X brace

Ideas on value would be helpful since i can't really find many for sale here.

Mileage is around 75k miles.
