Will someone tell him he's dreaming or should I?
Eagle replied to Vass's topic in TradeMe discussions
Yeah way overpriced - sounds someone has done a conversion (maybe Getrag) thrown some headers on it and called it a day. I bet extensive service history doesn't amount to much, probably just repairs needed to keep it running and legal. I don't think any stock'ish non M E46 is worth more 20k in current market regardless of work done. (EDIT: Mine is valued at 18k independently) -
Had a few similar experiences over the years, mostly with domestic NZ post. Can't really do much except wait for it to turn up one day. At least stuff actually going missing isn't common place.

Yep, msport has a straight tip which goes out rear of the msport bumper.
-
Yeah also wonder how calculated the hole placement in regards to stiff\soft setting
-
Good price on the bar given what aftermarket ones cost.
-
Probably a $10 strut mate dust boot. Last about long as those shitty stretchy rack boots.
-
You know your complete garbage when you gotta change your name
-
Its a breather hole so its normal. It shouldn't really be turned upside down with oil in it.
-
Because you want to actually drive the car, not sitting on the roadside looking at it whilst the tow truck comes.

SRS specfic ive used an old Hanntech P1? and Carsoft 6.5 for my '95 E38. I think ive seen @NZ00Z3 mentioned that some a Foxwell scanner can do it?, he can confirm. Im sure there's more but as you hint with many scan tools its hard verify what works with what systems unless you buy it or someone has tried it. Im assuming its how the adapter is wired is many cases.
-
Lots of aftermarket scan tools that will do most ADS systems with the adapter.
-
Yeah mostly rubbish stock these days
-
It doesnt have a 16 pin. BMW only starting using them at some point '99 or ''00 iirc for euro models. Adaptor may or may not work depending on the scan tool being used.
-
Probably by design to make people hang up. Put it on speaker, decrease to volume so you can barely hear the verbal diarrhea, then it goes silent you good to go.

Guy wrecking one or two on fb marketplace also. He's in in Cambridge https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/865003874429258/?hoisted=false&ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A200565c2-efb5-4ba7-9dee-0fcfeccc58ed

Turners shipping prices were terrible 10 years ago and still are. Don't know why would anyone use them for stuff you can get cheaper elsewhere and just as fast elsewhere.
-
No one wrecking any on tm, facebook etc? I guess try Nick Weitz tomorrow but yeah Auckland will have plenty.
-
Yeah hopefully someone has something available locally

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?

One expensive sewing machine. 22k doesn't get you the front lip option either. -
That comes down to the experience\skill of the person doing that side of the conversion. From my understanding rev hang can be eliminated by changing deceleration ignition timing values. I don't why MS41 seems to have an issue over the later MS43, they seem to operate the same auto\manual switch over when coding, clearing adaptions and aligning EWS, maybe some conversions arent doing this?
-
@hqstu may sell you his one in the near future. Vast majority of them arent really going up in price much as most of the ones for sale are money pits\need work.
-
Wouldn't think so as they would surely use the same MS41 DME as BMW (with custom mapping obviously)
-
Probably way cheaper to use Spareto. FCP aren't aren't cheap these days with the USD and postage prices.
-
At least you can generally predict those types. Some 50-60 year old woman decided it was a good idea change lanes mid roundabout and smacked into my friends E36 i was driving. She so was clueless that she thought i had hit her initially, but luckily a witness stopped. Probably a write-off now and you cant exactly go out a buy a tidy 318is with 120,000 on the clock.
-
But if you they were selling it they'd want $40
