  1. Allan Tthink there is a compatibility with Java If you running the latest version of IE or Edge add the site to run in compatibility mode as well. I do have a copy of wds somewhere if you want to install it on your pc
  2. Being smg good chance the 2nd gear syncro's will be fine and won't need a new transmission as a result. 2005 has all the revisions and may have some of the csl parts depending on build date. price seems about right.
  3. I missed the picture too ? On a good day I'll deliver a couple billion network packets which nobody sees . Prefer your eye candy delivery any day !
  4. Sounding like the alarm is in valet mode. Some of the manual sequencing may only put the alarm in this mode. My advice would be to get the two button 433 MHz alpine remote and code dip switch. Double door locking requires the remote to pluse the central locking. Needs the same on the unlock .
  5. Some of the Apple authorised dealers have fixed price repairs like screens. Worth getting quote beforehand
  6. You car still purchase the remotes. Early ones 90s have dip switch settings . Find the alarm module , open and match the remote to the dip switches in the alarm module. I think jay car have some comparable remotes as do key replacement stores. These alarms can have multiplie disable circuits. Otherwise you'll need to reverse engineer the alarm loom and added relays
  7. Btw that 4.8 x5 e70 is the lowest price is seen on sub 60,000 kms Closest 4.8 was an NZ new at $38k s few months back. Cheapest sd was around $40k with 75000 kms. I'm still looking for one but can't pull the trigger until one of the mk1 minis is gone ( wife's rules) ?
  8. 12v to 5v and logic relay arrived. Finishing mock up for Raspberry Pi Cd Stacker replacement
  9. I saw 21 litres per 100 km on one that I checked out that was on school run duties. But the plus side with the 4.8i is they tend to have every option ticked like rear seat heating. They are a quick monster too :-) The sd diesel would be my pick in a price range near the 48is. Became the 40d .
  10. Come to think of it the eject box just has the passive GSM aerial. Bluetooth aerial is mounted in the console separately.

    The Workhorse

    Been watching the x5 market myself and looking for something similar. Very nice in white. Check out some of the ntb conversion / retrofit options rather than the older cic / ccc conversions. Looking like the conversions are straight forward
  12. I remember seeing a similar sight at the local shopping mall. E39 driver parked across two disabled car parks. I asked the driver if he was mentally disabled...... Mean while a guy in his 80s ? walks across the crowd car park, looks at me and then the e39 driver and chuckles at the conversation I'm having
  13. Check that the pins you've used go via the eject tray pairing button. These will ground pin 32 to ground if paired correctly when pushed. The other area to check is the old eject box aerial connection is going to the passive aerial connection on your new eject box. What you could do is try shorting pin 32 to a ground ( can be anything) and see if the board monitor displays peering mode. The other thing is pairing is done in the manner shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJi0NUWQQQ0
  14. Pop re55s into trademe. You'll see the sizes and the dealers that still have them.. I almost put a set on the M3 late last year when I couldn't source Re11 s or the replacement re71r which where around $2.2 k a set. Re55s where something like $1300 for a set in 18s ! Just wasn't convinced that I could drive on these every day.
  15. Also check the re55s runout specials . $149 per corner in 17s and street legal like the 888s
  16. If non of this works check out virtual machines section further down the article
  17. Have a read through this guide. Might be enough to get the software and drivers working. I've used similar techniques to get old car stereo dsp serial flash apps working over proprietary unsigned Bluetooth drivers. http://www.howtogeek.com/228689/how-to-make-old-programs-work-on-windows-10/
  18. No, but a remember a number of NZ e30 m3s examples that where converted to RHD from new. I remember seeing a hell red e30 m3 with Hartage wheels and badges at Shelly BMW in the late 80s / early 90s. Had a 6x9 alpine dual coil sub mounted on the rear parcel shelf and was 2.3 s14 based. I've always wondered what happened to this car, must be sitting in someone's shed ? This was before fibre glasses guards and alibarber knock off badges hit the market .
  19. Zero, if my wife saw this post your days on this earth would be limited ? Might pay to take a second glance every time you see a blue e36 328i......you've been warned
  20. Is this the Hartage model iin RHD ?
  21. Hired one for part of honeymoon in1999. Two weeks of top down fun. Great little car, was a 1.9. Some of the best motoring had in a BMW and on pair with e46 m3 . Couple years later I win a weekend BMWNZ drive of the 3.0 version. Still fun but really annoying exhaust drone around 109 kmh. Auto gearbox was very lazy ( are these adaptive?) so either nothing when overtaking or full on to the point of loosing traction on tight 2-3rd corners. For me the 1.9 manual was a great drive and the 3.0 auto wasn't a great experience. I thinking I'll get one of these (1.9) for the daughters first car, but have been thinking of one for the comute.
  22. Nice to see a standard as factory car. Becoming a rare sight these days. Great picture BTW
  23. Could be the start of the E36 M3 price rises? They've been bottomed out on price for some time

    Homelink

    Aren't most NZ garage door openers on the 433 MHz band for rf remote ? USA is 315 MHz
  25. I check wds and come back to you.
