Found a wrecked msport and finally swapped over all the interior to spec, first and last type of job i think. The car was identical spec to @Autoglym one, born 3 days before even. It came with BMW individual interior that included extended leather option (leather door handles and center console) as well as the sliding arm rest and ski bag. Also got a spare msport bumper now and a bunch of spares which is always a good thing as these things are getting on now. Will be swapping back on my old wheel once i get some alloy trim to replace the wood, always preferred the thinner type and BMW changed the wiring setup so you cant plug in half the wheel controls with my car Certainly come along way from what it was

Anyone want them? Near perfect condition. Would be a shame to have to dump
-
Still very usable. The rubber in still soft but has come away from the serrated ends a couple of them, can be glued etc, which someone has already done to one of them. I may of broke a nub on one of them when i removed it. The rest of the clips look to be intact. Eye watering expensive to replace new but im happy to take $120 on here
-
Same. Ive always preferred none on the msport but think the model badge suits the non sports. Saw you Greenwood street today hunter, i think you should get 540i badge also match your plate haha.

Yeah i think M5 had Titanium Silver which has a more deeper textured finish, this is flatter and lighter coloured that you'd believe was wrapped until you touched it.
-
It's high quality, that all you need to know.
-
Micksgarage also have Brembos on special. Plenty of reputable rotor brands out there that will do the job just fine, you will be replacing them again before you know anyway given the terrible thickness spec.
-
Yeah should be ok. Probably worth bring your own containers\boxes etc as its not very well organised and boxes are quite old and getting weak. We can sort the finer details out via PM.

Its all come down from my parents attic but yeah should be able to find some space elsewhere to put it temporary. Are we talking 2nd week of December?

No longer needed and not really worth attempting to sell it Must pickup in Hamilton and take the lot All sorts of stuff, not going but list all individually but some of the main things are - M30 ECU, brake calipers, alternator, starter motor IKHA modules and fan resistor, heater valve, instrument clusters, relays, interior trims pieces such as door seals, seat belts seat trims, headlight parts, taillights, fog lights,indicator lens, wiper and linkages\motor, heater core, various hoses etc Also a manual rear sunshade if someone wants to buy it. Have the original parcel shelf for the template cutout but cant find the hooks which go on the headlining but easy to make up your own.

Pulled from genuine msport. Unfortunately middle section was broken off the plastic surround so will need to be glued if used, missing the ashtray cover obviously and has some creases as shown. Other bits are in good condition but have may the odd clip missing here and there. Don't really know what they are worth exactly but $70 seems reasonable?

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
Eagle replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
Looks like my old colour which was Delphine Metallic (Dolphin Grey). Far more and better colour choices those days. -
You can get your own advanced BMW scanning capabilities for the price of an old laptop (<$150) a $30 cable and some downloadable software. INPA will do do most of what you want and isnt too hard to operate. BMW scanner 1.4 is also good for a quick full system scans and quick reprogramming

Certainty not limited by area. I've seen many people cause some hefty damage in my rear view over the years. When they hit someone else is when it becomes a bit unpleasant.

Non xenon. Off a 2002 530i Msport
-
SOLD Lens are in good nick but adjusters need replacing. Can supply wiring for PFL car conversion. $150

5x wheels 3x 17x8 and 2x 17x9. Fronts are the better condition ones.. Rears are worse with paint flaking but do look worse in photos due to angle. Spare is in perfect condition. 4x Newish Continental MC6 tyres in correct sizes with 6mm tread left. Spare in Dunlop SP with 5mm tread. Prefer pickup but maybe able to deliver them Auckland at some point. $650

If it starts again try a few packets of Dr Trannys Lubeguard. Ive had excellent results using it along with good fluid fluid change.

You can get a single mass conversion solid flywheel kit off Speedfactor for ~1k last time i checked. DKM brand stage 1 which is uprated from stock, i couldn't find much info on it but Evan and the team know and support their products better than most.
-
Seems like the kind of cars you would just auction off if you wanted the best price for them. I guess the OP may of undervalued or had more interest than expected so reneged.

ABS Pump reconditioning/ replacement for E39 530i.
Eagle replied to hunter's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Yeah its little fiddly on these but yep Kerry would be the easiest option -
Dimensionally they are the same so they match up fine with starter gear, crank etc. They are slightly lighter than a regular M52\M54 so some sort of difference in machining or internal construction. Im using one in my car with a standard Luk clutch kit but personally i hate the self adjusting clutch.

ABS Pump reconditioning/ replacement for E39 530i.
Eagle replied to hunter's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Possibly. Easy enough to test with multimeter and wouldnt hurt to check the plug and redo the self adjustment of the switch given had work on in that area. -
I always rated the RE050A quite well until PS4 came out but i would of thought they would of been superseded by now. Tyre pricing by size with the same make\model seems go all over the show so you do have to ring around sometimes.

I asked a simple question which you interpreted it as hostile and offensive, it really wasn't, maybe its you being a newbie here or reading it wrong that gave that impressions but that the internet for you sometimes. You questioning where i work and my skills was you insult to me tbh. You know could of handled it better also. Im quite sure ive never questioned anyone on this forums skills. All information ive posted is for the most part my own experiences. You may well of had good intentions by offering but your post came across as shilling to me , your presence on this forums is basically none, no one to my knowledge has vouched for you and you provided little information that left it open to interpenetration. I gave a known recommendation from the very trusted source and you discounted it while putting forward your offering. I don't you I admit i was probably a bit ott on the shill call but I don't work on blind trust\information and always question anyone unknown offering anything, that''s just how i operate. When people pull the patronizing card when questioned by someone with less perceived knowledge over simple things then i lose respect for them. As to your question - Ive already answered that above but that there are plenty of areas that are simple enough in this world that you don't need decades to knowledge to grasp or make the safer call. I honestly hope the OP buys the ZF kit for less than $170 that should of been offered at the start so everyone can win.
