  1. $95 seems quite steep when you put it on, go for a drive, get home and it's gone.
  2. Good catch and good work.
  3. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/bmw-44-liter-n63-engine-experiencing-frequent-reliability-problems-88225.html https://www.autoevolution.com/news/here-s-why-bmws-n63-44-liter-v8-engines-fail-96527.html Jesus, I was thinking of buying one of these until Lidistick mentioned them in his post and I googled.
  4. Best bet I think. https://m.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E30-MTech-2-Convertible-UPDATED-DOOR-PODS-tech-M-euro-m3-cabrio/332435198027?hash=item4d66ae904b:g:3C0AAOSwIVhZ-3Es
  5. From memory, don't the 6 cylinder cars have bigger axles and struts also?
  6. Here's your little known piggyback. Hard to tell if f this exactly what you have, but nice if you do. http://www.kellenerssport.co.uk/bmw/1-series/e82-and-e88/product-sub-category/ecu-remapping-and-tuning-module-upgrades.html
  7. I should point out it's also quite low, but probably no lower than yours looks in your pic.
  8. They are different, sill is deeper. Hard to tell from the photo, but mine look deeper and seem to wrap further under.
  9. Yes, it did have that plate. There will be photos on here somewhere.
  10. I thought there were 4. Sam (?) from here had a silver one? Think one of the guards had been replaced with steel? Maybe a white one in Dunedin and supposedly 2 others?
  11. It's strange, when he criticised BMWs a few weeks back, all he wrote was uninformed click bait.
  12. They do and you can, or try and find them on eBay Aus and pay 1/3 of the price they charge.
  13. And if it was a genuine car, I'd be tempted. I've always liked these and AMGs in general.
  14. I wasn't worried, just thought you might have missed the earlier post. I have a 325iQW which can't be corrected without too much effort, so I'm aware of their general ineptitude!
  15. I was referring to this.

  17. He missed the N46. Nice write up on an M5 flip in there though. https://www.google.co.nz/amp/thegarage.jalopnik.com/bmw-engines-are-gigantic-pieces-of-sh*t-1784684330/amp
  18. Wildcard: Ford Motorcraft Mercon SP. Yep, it's for the Ford ZF 6HP26 (called Ford 6R80)... In the US it's inexpensive, meets the right specs. Dunno if it's full synthetic. Wonder if I should call a Ford Dealer parts department (though one recalls why one does not own a Ford!). Hyundai also runs this trans. Hmm. As far as I know Ford used the ZF box in Falcons and rear drive Territory's, 6R80 in others, try a Ford dealer. In my experience you'll have to get them to answer the phone first. Helpful tip, don't try Capital city Ford in Porirua.
  19. An E30 cab, registered as a Toyota Echo.
