See below from Xseries forum. Transfer case needs new oil. $150 done at a gearbox speciality with BMW oil.
-
Have you driven one? There’s no way it’s passing anything on the straight unless it’s a bicycle.
-
I wonder if they smoke because everyone I see on the motorway is being driven by an ape thrashing the sh*t out of it, weaving in and out of traffic?
-
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.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m235i/listing/4906169780 Jap import.

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.
-
If you can find a decent diesel, I’d by far recommend that over the M54 in an X5. Theres a (350km) one for $4650 on FB and a 240km one for an optimistic $7k as well.
-
Your link doesn’t work (for me at least), but had a look. There was a red one for sale fairly recently, less money too. Uk import from memory. Would be fun.
-
Fitting and balancing is included. Filled with nitrogen. Last time I was there ps5(?)s were about $270/tyre for 215/45/17 and re003 were $288. For the X5 fronts, they were $142/tyre cheaper than I could find elsewhere for ps4 suv.

From what I’ve seen, the margin from wholesaler cost to retail is 3-400%.

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?

$1,000 battery. Inflation has really hit hard. -

For that car, assuming it’s solid, I think that’s a decent price. Way better than a 318i auto. -

Would it look better value at $17.5k?
