rookie

I would strongly suggest an inspection by a BMW specialist before you buy, to identify any possible issues.

Thanks Jon, appreciate your comments.

Any suggestions as to whom you would entrust an inspection? Obviously I'm not going to take anyone's short list as an implied -ve about those not mentioned, but knowing one or two, particularly some independents, where owners have had good experiences would help me

Where are you located?

Sold!

Linky!

Open to offers, need it to go prior to moving overseas

Was this parked close to the greenlane showgrounds on sunday? I was driving round looking for parking and pretty sure i saw it! Looks awesome.

There are a number of small things to consider which will save you potential heartache in the long run... particularly if you, for example, build it within the side yard and have to remove it later.

I would look for you myself but every council has different rules, definitions of buildings etc etc etc not to mention i dont know the location of ya property . Just ring the council and ask to speak to the duty planner - do it once and do it well.

Does anyone have a Motorsport coupe front bumper, that would like to swap it for a m3 sedan front bumper?

Please get hold of me on 0212312326

cry baby

I think i still have mine . You viewed it a while back. Needs small amount of panel work. Ill check with the guy who had it in storage and see if its still there.

I dont know if they are the same... but i have e46sedan ones if you want. Cheap as car is going to be sold!

E46 Roof Racks

Preferably second hand

1999 e46 sedan

Cheers

I have a set and also snowboard attachments to suit. Have sent PM.

Oh really? So you need training and all that before hand?

Only if you want to do it solo.

I did it in Taupo with another person (Tandom) who was qualified to jump. It was quite a bit cheaper and still at 12,000 ft. Was awesome - scenery down there was amazing, perfect day too!

Friend of mine got quoted to get his done, im pretty sure it was only about $150. Ill ask him and let you know.

Note just to replace the liner.

07' GSXR600 - brought her brand new and got stolen about 9 months later.

09' GSXR750 - brought her with 1200km's on it. Ran for about a year then sold it.

Waiting until i get back from South America then will look at buying a dedicated track bike.

Good stuff.

At least you're doing it to a coupe. Worth spending money on IMO.

Next step after doing all this....... get a centrifugal S/C

im sure i see rear doors, although the picture comes out funny on my work screen. Sounds awesome, good luck.

awesome work. stunning example.

Pretty cool little video! Wonder whether they are cardboard in case of 'errors'.

DIY Kidneys is very easy. Much more affordable than buying and looks just as good. I did mine on my E39.

I think clear lights all round will look better than smoked but that's just IMO.

Car's nice. Manual too... Awesome!

I cant speak for the E39's but the clips on the rear of the grills are very likely to snap when you remove them - they become extremely brittle. For $70 (sure thats what mine cost), it ended up being the option that i ahd to go with. Check trademe and Ebay. They arent super expensive.

Edit

Please can you clarify the specs of wheel, interested depending on the fitment.

Am looking to sell off some assets before i move overseas and this vehicle, while being my daily commuter, is not really needed as i could easily catch the train. I have owned it for about 1 year and has been trouble free.

Details:

00' E46 320i Sedan

2.2l 6 Cyclinder

103,000km's

330i 17 inch alloys

Eibach lowering springs

Rear M spec boot lip

M3 cluster rings

Replaced front chrome grills with matt black OEM fitting items.

30% tints all round

Grom USB unit installed in boot - USB and AUX cable and run through the car and come up near drink holders in discret location.

Have a Motorsport front bumper ready for paint that will come with the car.

Had a 100,000km service with Glenn about 1,000km's ago. Among a few other things, he fixed two oil leaks, replaced a diff mount and the reaction bushes on the front suspension incluidng a few other small things (cost over $2k). Have reciepts for all work undertaken on car.

Car is in great condition. Has black cloth interior (rather than the ugly grey stuff) and has black interior trims.

I have Roof racks to suit this vehicle (as i used it for the snow trips too) and also a snowboarding / ski attachemnt which can be negotitated with sale!

Enquiries welcome 021 628 769.

After 11k ono, willing to discuss.

Will upload pics when i get home.

Wish mine would tilt. Can you code it to Glenn?

Same. Can you code a car that does not tilt to tilt when reverse is selected. I understood you probably would need a diff module or something? Or read somewhere something about if you had memory seats it would work?

if Tristan requested the driver to do so, to await Police to asertain whom was at fault and they left anyway then there could be a offence there?

The problem with calling the police to a minor thing is that they will always determine a party at fault and it might not go your way. You may think you are in the right but ultimately they may determine it another way. Only call them if you are 100% sure you were in the right.

Note: not saying who is at fault here or implying anything, just saying .

Hey Rick, thought you might have been a BS'er! Saw you too

Traffic's a bitch

Its the bain of my life! CBD to Manurewa every day! :S

Glenn @ Botany Motor Works!

Not sure if it is anyone on here but saw a LHD e30 M3 on the southern yesterday driving home. Plate COOLM3.

i brouight a set of hankooks a while back, they were a fairly good middle range tyre which held well in wet and very well in the dry. they will no doubt be very cheap!

Saw Ian 540i6 in the E34 yesterday afternoon on the southern motorway just past east tamaki sitting in traffic! As was I .

Looks nice man!

What would the cost of the air bag be any idea?

Over a thousand dollars from BMW and good luck finding one from a wrecker... they normally sell them with thier own wheels .
