Palazzo

A large cloud of smoke. With a 2006 320i inside it.

Never mind.

I think our neighbours had that when it was new. Sounded epic.

Doesn’t have to be faster, just reliable. I’ve heard enough stories plus increasing age makes me think n55 would be a better option. I think yours might be overkill for our use. I do like the zf8 too. What’s ewg?

So nobody? Back to trawling Google I guess.

2010 116i = e87? No turbo?

Is anyone running an E82/F20 model of the above? If an E82, later model with the N55 and DCT. Had one, running one now, thoughts/comments/good/ bad/ reliable/ not? Cheers.

Is that from the Restauto place on FB/eBay?

Yeah, if they have what you need, it’s very satisfying. Got quoted $600 to repaint the bonnet in the wife’s Mazda and picked up one there for $70 in the correct colour.

On closer inspection the bonnet and front panel appear to be different shades, so possibly.

They’re out there. It replaced a Hapro I bought for $150 with a crack in it. “Welded” the crack with ski base repairer which worked a treat, gave it 2 coats of gloss black paint and later sold it for $380 in a dollar reserve auction disclosing it had been repaired.

Keep an eye on TM and FB, there’s the occasional bargain. I got an original, unused BMW box for $150.

There’s a black one at Pickapart Takanini if you need any bits. Petrol though.

Good to hear, the ad sounded like it had some promise.
