Do you guys get excited over the sound of the S54 (E46 M3) ???

Sorry to hear that. I've owned 3 88 shape VR-4's, there a damn good car. I hope he gets it back without it being stripped or burnt out. Theres alot more than 4 in NZ for the record. Good luck

WICKED!

Hey, I brought a M30B35 airflow meter recently from a E34 535i. However due to other projects, I need to sell it. $125 o.n.o 021 717 736 Cheers

I work for a BMW franchise. I strongly recommend purchasing an extended warranty.

E30 325i Coupe Manual E30 320i Sedan Manual 96 VR-4 Manual (not a wanky station wagon) 87 JD Starion Turbo Manual Dude what happened to the 2002?

Is the license plate panel a painted one or black?? I work for a BMW franchise and we sell a few of these to Jap import owners wanting to make their BMW look sharper.

Was curious as to how much you want for this?? I looked over it at McMillans today. Cheers

Cheers guys, have found this now.

Hey, I am looking for a auto trans to suit a motronic e30 320i.. if anyone in Auckland has one lying around I could be interested. Please PM me if you do with a price. Antz

I have done reconditioning work on various BMW's imported from around the world. Japan - Small cheap looking plate holders, until recently radios were Japan spec (later models are adjustable), NAV systems incompatible, Central displays etc can be changed to english but never look the same as they run Japan specific components to cope with the characters. Overall rubber condition better than Singapore, if leather is fitted always of better quality than singapore. Singapore - Rubber quality, trims, door handle surrounds, glass surrounds, plastics in engine compartment and generally anything rubber or plastic usually brittle or cracked. Starting to find big problems with later model motors with even more plastics and rubbers under the bonnet leaking oil also vacuum leaks appearing from plastic and rubber crank case ventilation pipes. License plates surrounds look like NZ, leather quality is usually terrible in E46 and E39, NAV, radios and central displays compatible with NZ. E65 and E60 appearing as imports with bad specs.. i.e low spec climate control systems, not many options, large number of E60 also appearing without active front steering. Also had a few import E60 and E65 coming into the country and having control units fail. These items are very costly to buyers when the factory warrenty has expired.

I feel sorry for the owner.. but cool picture

Yeah man

Sure is :love:

I would probably tell them that you want to wait and see what the other alarm installers have to say about it. If it actually does need a module then they probably should get payed something for their time, upto you though. You might find that this other company can get it all wired up and working, in which case the first company shouldnt get anything as they are clearly incompetent. :finger: Why pay someone to do something when they have no knowledge of what they are doing. Good luck and please let us know how you get on :thumb: Antz

Sounds like a bit of a story to me. I would personally take it to another Alarm installer. If the module had a fault, you would most likely find that some functions that it controls were not working. Its more than likely that these people are confuesed by the inputs and outputs of the GM (General Module) Control unit they want you to replace. We get it all the time at work, customers get alarms fitted by people that have no idea what they are dealing with and it creates alot of problems.

Thought it was going to look worse than it does from the stories I heard. Car isnt NZ New, imported pre-registered from Germany. Still gotta be a steal even at $20,000, motor would be awesome as a transplant!

haha who works on your car there and quoted you a few grand???

Can I ask what you had to have done??

Yeah man, that helps heaps. I have found another one with 100k less than the one im going to looking at for the same price. Think this one is way over priced. Yours looks dam good!!! Cheers for your input

Registration is OU3104... it is on the north shore. What do you think it would be worth with 330k on the clock? Cheers for you help

Hi guys, Been wanting one of these for ages, dont know what thier worth. A E28 535i Motorsport with LSD, Manual, Sunroof etc Red in color. Unsure of condition yet, will be checking it out tomorrow. What are these things worth? I think this one is going to be average as it has a massive 330k's on the clock (not bothered by this as I am a BMW mechanic) and can fix problems. Any advice on its worth would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Sold.
