ones with "extra whitening" should do even better then...

The link posted by 325GRANT shows bottlecaps bottlecaps the pic shows 14" basketweave on left and 15" basketweave on right.

This is my 318. The only way it will go faster is if I drop it out of an aeroplane at 20,000 ft. Engine mods to 318's are a waste of time unless you go radical and that will cost you arms and legs. Have done that to a mate's car some time ago so know what was involved. What you are suggesting is really a waste of good money. I recently bought a very rusty M325i and am going to transplant the whole thing into the 318 and give it a paint at the same time to match the body bits off the M325i which are diamantschwartz. The whole thing will cost me less than $2500 and i will have a car which will have plenty of go and handle and stop etc. if you are reall desperate for some more get up and go, I have a complete 320 motor with auto :puke: box you can have cheap....

Drain pipes from sunroof should go to the plastic vent on each side of the boot... connect as circled. This point drains directly to outside the boot. Check to see if the drain pipes are blocked as they often do. However, the boot seal is notorious for leaking water. If it is it will leave the carpet lining wet. The drain pipes won't normally wet the carpet lining

It's very easy to pop the bonnet from the outside. Ph me 0274995680 and I'll tell you how cheers William

Trying to mix 'n match brakes to fit is VERY unwise unless you know what you are doing. Brakes on any car are normally well balanced from the factory. This balance is what stops you swapping ends, crashing into the guy in front etc. When doing an upgrade, the whole system has to be carefully matched. Putting on bigger front calipers, say 4-pot, without doing anything else, could severly overbrake the front and also make the pedal travel excessive etc. You will probably increase your stopping distance as the front wheels will lock up before the rear brakes start functioning. The combinations are endless. My advice is to leave brakes to the experts, fit a complete system that has been designed to work as a unit. You and everbody around you will live longer... so check out www.racebrakes.co.nz to see the options.

Just don't try to preview the post after you have attached the pic. (Use the "attach file" button at the bottom). Had me foxed for a while till I discovered that you wrote your words, attached the file and hit the "add reply" button. You can't preview your pic for some reason... if you try to preview, the pic disappears. Also, keep your pic smallish or it runs way over the page. I have found that 70k is about right for pics taken with my camera. By the way, this is a pic of a Pommie import M325i I bought recently(before and after). Looked good but floorboards etc were rusted to sh*t so it has gone to BMW heaven. When are you buggers going to stop putting stuff on your roads that makes cars die??

Would rate this above the others. FSH in my experience is what to look for. These motors with good service will do huge mileage without problems. NZ new is another bonus. Transmissions last if serviced so I think this one is worth a good look at! Check what was done in the service history. He would obviously be open to offers so who knows...

I had problems with central locking in a number of my E30's over the years and it was always water related. Fortunately every time it was corroded contacts on the plug on the central locking unit. A good clean with electrical contact cleaner (available Dick Smith) and some brushing with a brass wire brush sorted it. Also dealt to the leaks through that rubber plug as E30stz described above and enclosed the unit in a complete plastic cover while I was at it. No more problems..

I thought sunny and England were mutually exclusive !?!?!Also, beware of *sic, he has a big stick and uses it often. (Methinks he is just bad tempered because he drives a Honda...) But mostly his bark is worse than his bite but welcome anyway and congrats for getting back the ashes. :bowdown:

...and don't forget the gas axe!!

Well, as a National supporter too, I tend to agree with this even though I don't like the thought of that arrogant woman? leading us for another 3 years.To quote another member... :thumb:

Hey *sic, won't you need to use your stick on your wee honda to get it to 120kmh???? giddyup!!!

Right, no more fat chicks..... A mother was walking down the hall when she heard a humming sound coming from her daughter's bedroom. When she opened the door, she found her daughter naked on the bed with a vibrator. "What are you doing?"She exclaimed. The daughter replied, "I'm 35 and still living at home with my parents and this is the closest I'll ever get to a husband."Later that week the father was in the kitchen and heard a humming sound coming from the basement. When he went downstairs, he found his daughter naked on a sofa with her vibrator. "What are you doing?"He exclaimed. The daughter replied, "I'm 35 and still living at home with my parents and this is the closest I'll ever get to a husband."A couple of days later the mother heard the humming sound again, this time in the living room. Upon entering the room, she found her husband watching television with the vibrator buzzing away beside him on the couch."What the hell are you doing?" She asked. He replied, "Watching the cricket with my son-in-law."

Hey, we are talking about parts in the bedroom, nowhere else. If you start including anywhere else, nutters like myself (and Brent etc) could jam up Bimmersport with lists of bits....

Maybe, Brent is also after it though... it does fit an E30 with a bit of persuasion. I had it in my 325 F/L Bauer conv in SA, so might use it in one of my projects here.

Well, seems that the first 2 numbers do indicate the engine capacity... looked through some of the motors I have here, first numbers always same as capacity ie 20 6E B xxxxxxx is a 2 litre M20 motor 25 6E 1 xxxxxxx is a 2.5 litre M20 motor 20 6K x xxxxxxx is a 2 litre M20 motor 27 6E B xxxxxxx is a 2.7 litre M20 motor 25 6E x xxxxxxx is a 2.5 litre M20 motor Don't have any 2.3 motors here so can't absolutely confirm the 2.3 bit but seems pretty certain that it would follow suit. learn something every day..

Jazz, one in the same vein for your sick sense of humour..... :puke:

and I thought that I was the only one out there who gets beaten up by the ladies when I happen to mention that I'm married to an airbag....you'd better duck Carl.... I can smell the incoming.... :rambo:

"The Headache" The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles." Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need... a new suit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit." The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" the tailor said. Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck." Joe was surprised, That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years". Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a moment and said, "Sure." The salesman said, "Let's see... size 36." Joe laughed, "Ah ha! I got you, I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old. The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache." New suit - $400 New shirt - $36 New underwear - $6 Second Opinion - PRICELESS
