Have seen self tapping drain plugs for the same issue on other bands of cars (Mini)
check link to see if you can find something in a similar size. Less chance of getting swarf entering the gearbox than using helicoil.

Build one of these instead it, would make a change from usual NZdrift mag aka NZPC.

Then you should also be able to use the standard Alpine 6 CD cart as a replacement. (you could buy that stacker for the cart)
Or you can go here and buy an alpine one for $30 usd or with same thing BMW logo for $50 usd.

One of the bmw parts supplier on here might also be able to help

You'll be into pretty skinny tyres, possibly, eg this guy has +20/+22, but needed 205s and 215s:
205's wouldn't be legal on the widths above. 215's would be ok on the front but the rears could be a problem.

providing that you haven't change to led replacements check and clean the bulb connectors and spray the plug and socket with electrical cleaner. Had a similar thing happen.

If he's doing this now what will he achieve later in life. Just shows that age isn't necessary a barrier to vision. Some might say brought up with a silver spoon , others might say he has is entrepreneurial.
Come to think of it most of the people that I know that have built up serious money left school early but had a vision of want they wanted to achieve and do this early in there careers. v10 z3m would be a great way to enjoy some of the efforts.

Hi Allan,
Yeh I remember you too! Amazing. You've remembered the car alright. It was a UK import and red. A 325 SE but auto. Couldn't find a manual when I bought it and it was in such good nick I couldn't resist it. Still see it around occassionally and it still looks good - I think it lives in Te Awamutu now.
The Z4 M Coupe has a few more horses than the E30 325! About 343bhp I think. Bit old-school in a way but very nice. Only 588 RHD M Coupes sold and only eighteen in Alpine White so it's a bit of a rare beast. Bought it whilst I was in the UK a couple of months ago. Thought I might have the only one in NZ until a couple of weeks ago when I saw a sliver one coming the other way at Mount Maunganui!
What are you running now? Your Dad's 325 was a manual if I remember correctly...
Regards,
Paul.
Gidday Paul , looks great in white. Keep your eyes out for a Blue M coupe. Was following it around Taupo track on Saturday. Looks like they handle well !

couple of videos from the bmw club track day in taupo over the weekend
first time in a while for my car on the track with all the mods and tunning done etc
was handy being able to rev to 7000rpm , also decent torque out of the corners
preformed quite well.
also marty was there with his turbo e28 ,
but my camera battery went flat so missed filming him from behind
was spitting flames at me etc
fell free if anyone else has photo's or vids to add here
That Silver m3 in front of you was fast eh !

Of course they don't "mind" motorsport road closures, have you ever been involved in a 'road closure' for an event?
When i was in the HB car club i was on the committee that did closures for gravel sprints, hill climbs and the Central Region Rally Series and saw what the cost for closure was.
Bearing in mind this was 10 years ago, but the CRRS (Central Region Rally Series) road closure cost was between 25,000 - 30,000 for the 3 days.
So as for shutting down the Ohakune 1000, it's not only the businesses losing out but the wider community as well. Council gets less $ then the community gets less services.
Thank christ we have people like Rod Millen who ARE willing to go the extra mile with alternatives.
The cliffhanger motorcycle hillclimb has a road closed for a couple of days a year (as does a cycling event). The Carterton Mayor supported the event with minimal charges and even goes to the extent of providing a large gen set for the pit area for free. He even went to the point of leading the sighting run on a couple of ocasions and would also turn up for the fundrasing 1/4 and flying 1/4 Sprints. Nothing anywhere near $30k for the closures. There is a car hillclimb that is also run on a near by road. Similar deal for the car event which I'm hoping to compete in next year.

Makes you wonder on the lost trade for the township of Ohakune in the ski off season.
I take it the picnickers aren’t involved or don’t care about many of the Town’s business reliance of the visitor trade.
Compare this to the Wiararapa which has no motorsport facilities yet has a very active motorsport Calendar. The Councils and Mayor’s are very support of any event that brings visitors & $$$ into the region and don’t mind roads to be closed to do so.
Just another reason not to visit Ohakune. The've cancelled 10% of the years event calendar in one swoop.
