Got some nav pins and added audio connection from Mk4 to Tuner module 9-18 3-12 Connected TV Tuner blue 8/19 to c5/11. Got Nav sound only. Then tried TV tuner blue 8/19 to B 11/12 Got TV sound only. Looks like I need to change the loom to split out the audio rather than the recommend factory daisy chain the nav to tv tuner to BM53 B & C connectors.

A couple of black k&n apollos with air tubes running down to radiator intake grill ? http://www.knfilters.com/universal/apollo.htm

Plenty of the Singapore performance car and bike owners pop over to Malasia to the F1 circuit in Sepang , think Auckland to Taupo Raceway in distance. Check out the number of cars with Singapore plates .

Current system is a pain in our household with 5 needing warrants every six months. Like the idea of the new rules. 3 out of 5 will only require yearly warrants. Three of them have done 77k 34k and 12k respectively and are all older than 6 years but were built after 2000 and two do less than 5k per year. The other two IMO should be checked every six months, Ones from the sixties and will be used for motorsport and the other is an e36 approaching 170,000 km.

Commuting is the best clutch run in in my opinion with lots of low load gear changes.. ( I normally get 200,000 + km out of Oem clutches including the odd bit of towing and track days) Usual stuff, rev match gear changes on up or down shifts. Don't ride it excessively Depending on clutch type , some already are partially run in ( like ap racing) so don't need to be treated so gently initailly. They talk about .5mm of wear being the norm for run in of the linings. Just make sure the install was clean and keep grease or brake clean well away otherwise they are stuffed perfomance wise before you've started. Usual bearing check beforehand etc.

Spotted a smokey e90 320i today. Thought it would have been a number of years before seeing this happen !

Mike Eddie an co were running these on the e90 M3 to help keep costs down. The grip on the hot laps was very good 4 up. Goes to show how good some tyres are at a modest price (good driver no doubt also helps)

Have you considered Bridgestone Re-11 s ? Not sure if bridgestone nz stocks them anymore , but you can get your size via tirerack. Not cheap but stick like ..... Good upgrade over the re001 /002

Can't help with the image, but I'd go IDE controller to 32 gig flash drive next time round as it will only run on fat32 file system . Otherwise you can still get IDE av drives which may last past the 10 year mark or IDE controller to Sata drive if there is enough room in the Bose

Plot thickens. The factory retrofit tv module cable doesn't have the 9 to18 and 9 to 18 audio connections either. Will try a combo of nav audio to nav tv and nat TV to bm53 b connector 11 & 12 . If that doesn't work then will try Tv to bm53 connector c 5 & 11

Thanks for the info, will get some more pins and make up nav to tuner audio connection and make sure I have tuner to bm53 around the correct way.

It's clear from the comments that this site should be changed to www.beemersport.co.nz . Most likely comments where from informed Nissan March owners

Have used video retrofit cable between mk4 nav and video tuner / bm53 radio All video functions are working correctly However , the audio does not work from the tv tuner or nav. The retrofit loom splits the audio out via via separate lines rather than the mk4 nav audio out via the video tuner. Both bm53 radio b & c connectors have nav / tv inputs ( B has pins 11&12) (C has pins 5&11) My questions are Is it valid as per current loom to have the nav mk4 audio connected to B 11 & 12 and the Tv connected to C 5&11 ? Other wise if the nav mk4 audio goes via the tuner white audio connector inputs which connector / pins should the tv tuner audio out go to . ( the blue/white and yellow combo) I've googled and tried combos , but haven't achieved and sound output from the tuner of mk4 nav

they come in two sizes for oem paddles http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=...hg=32&fg=35

Got mine via Supercheap. They are similar to Allen key L style tools. Also brought one of their plastic trim removal sets which is great for getting trim apart without marking it. I like the idea of lumber support and was thinking of retrofitting to m3 seats at some stage.

Depends what you are after in a tyre. I went to re11's on 18 inch rims in the csl widths. (235 front 265 rear) Brought the re11 for the odd track day which they are execellent for. Heat up fast, corner grip and stable braking is excellent. Hard to spin with DSC off etc. Noise wise, seem to produce an even white noise sound. Roughly 550 b per corner via tirerack.com or cheaper if Bridgestone NZ stocks your size otherwise this link maybe of use.

Was thinking along the lines of Visit My Website I haven't confirmed that it will fit , but the specs seem about right. I need to do the same thing as I brought on of these around 1988 which no longer works.

You'll get the idea of what's inside the torch here Visit My Website The rechargeable battery dies after a number of years.

ls the door glass dropping a about 1.5 cm when the door handle is pulled. If not this would make it harder to open and close door.

Wasn't a M3 by any chance ? Parked next to one by kirks a while back. Had every ASC option

Have been getting "no disk" on cd stacker since recent trackday. Took stacker apart , re-lubbed and adjusted cd load worm gear. Reinstalled and all good hopefully for another 10 years.

Too old school Put BMW's best Six into it, hpf treatment and you have possibly the worlds fastest E39 wagon. http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetail...ts/E46_M3/11037 Or replace it with a E60 M5 ?

Nice cars , but I still cant get my head around seeing lhd 1m's brand new for $43000 usd earlier in the year.

Did this to a couple of Mini7's and a Touring Car. The touring car we did with the driver in the car. Can be good for .5 to 1 seconds a lap if you have height adustable suspension. I'd get it done, drive the car for a while and have it re-checked as we'd find the cars would settle a bit and needed further ajustment / fine tunning. See if the place is up for a quick recheck. Otherwise the scales have become quite reasonable with people selling them for roughly $600 a set on trademe. That's only four visits if you think about it. Also far better than using the old lever bar and cardboard method. Typically the guys would use me on the lever bar due to my weight advantage

Sound like a good price for first time setup considering the price of a normal alignment. Are you going to weight jack with or without driver ?
