Coming from there, that is definitely the winter beater 🤣
-
A lovely spot, had to be quick
-
Think you need to add a price
-
I see this most mornings, person did a good job, it is done just right.
-
Little bit more and I might hear James is chuck Norris 🤣, thanks for the feedback on the elusive James
-
Is James a known user of this forum? I was looking in to this car couple weeks back, but got put off by them stating they did all the work themselves, mileage and no papers.

How much HP will it add to the car?
-
Thanks, really appreciate the early feedback, in light of this discussion any one selling a good 530i or 535i e39? 🤣😁🙈

I need help and an opinion on a project car, bought a 2000 e39 528i two years ago and spent some time and money on it but realised it is the wrong car to start out with due to a power aspect, what would you do? How much would you envision would be for a 540 base and transfer the necessary parts from my factory manual 528i (not msport and was looking at centres caps also for $200 something), see below for reference. I saw this listing you may be interested in: 2000 BMW 540i E39 https://www.trademe.co.nz/4651519748 Do you think it would be worth it?
-
Good day all, Still interested in this. Does any one have a msport donor car minus the engine? Want suspension, seats, lights, bumpers etc... If you have the other parts in the list as well I would be keen. I look forward to hearing from you.
-
Any guesses what it may go for? I saw this listing you may be interested in: 2002 BMW M3 M3 Coupe https://www.trademe.co.nz/4658330104

Additionally, there is a 2001 530d msport donor I want to buy and transfer parts.

Thanks everyone, @jasera94 and @EagleI appreciate you being honest. @jasera94 I know how you feel, I am the same but with older models. The e39 has been a pain for me, however I knew this from @eagle and online research. Thinking of throwing in the towel with mine, being nic picky trying to get it to 100%. I am at a cross roads though because the potential, engine, performance, sound, etc... has me in love 😪. Would like to start getting involve personally with my build but not sure where to start. P.s. There is a parked E36 at my job I am eyeing 🤣, hoping it is an older resident with parts and maintenance up to date.

Thanks for the update, appreciate the help
-
Does this seem too good to be true or just a really good deal? E.g., Can I have your thoughts and expertise, do you think overpriced or reasonable? I saw this listing you may be interested in: 2008 BMW 135i https://www.trademe.co.nz/4605740129 Current owner had it for 6 years, has all service paper history, no accidents, factory manual and supposedly no known issues . Any one knows about this car or driver?
-
Has this build been certified? Also, any more 135i projects coming up soon?
-
Has this been dismantled or still up for grabs?
-
I definitely read about the money pit part of this before buying one, I thought I was an exception but it is coming back to bite me in the butt :(. However, I have a vision and plan to make it an investment / long term car.

Afternoon all, does any one know any one in Auckland that can replace / repair this part of windshield?
-
Hi Polley, Thanks for a response. How bad are they, like alot of work required? Also do you have side skirts? Btw, I will be in touch should the kit from BrentNZ above fall through. Hoping to have an update later this week I appreciate the help cheers

Thanks for the confirmation 👍🏿

Hi Gaz, I will have to get more details when I am beside the car... Sorry for being so vague. But I appreciate your help

Hi Kiwi, Sweet update, thanks for this. I potentially want the spoiler. However, regarding the m sport exhaust which one is it, just the standard m sport or m performance? Asking all these questions because from my understanding if it is just the m sport it is the same as my current stock one except different tips right? Please correct me if I am wrong... Still new to the BMW world. I look forward to hearing from you, let me know if you have any questions.
