Bump again... Need right hand door card same as the one shown here http://www.autoindependent.com/%5Cupload%5...0ride%20668.jpg Would consider buying a pair if necessary. Previous owner of my car forgot to put it in before shipping the car to me and now isn't replying

Just saw this link on the stanceworks facebook page. Possibly the best looking car I've ever seen so had to share http://www.stanceworks.com/2012/06/the-bes...mw-e28-touring/

Bump. Feeling the cold without a door card Be really keen on one with the black vinyl insert. Otherwise will look at a pair with matching leather or black cloth inserts. Must be in good condition. Cheers

Also after drivers side window regulator/motor. Would consider buying a pair of door cards of a different colour

Hey na mine's blue and this was down Lincoln Road/Villa Street. Interestingly, my car's now been released and the charge has been reduced to careless driving which I'll hopefully just get diversion for. What pisses me right off though, is that I still had to pay $180 bucks for towing and a weeks worth of storage, and my cars now got about 6 or 7 big scratches down the drivers side of the car, and every single window has had the tints scratched and ripped. That guy that wrote a letter full of fabricated crap has got a lot to answer for.

This. Is what I'm trying to do. My view is that if the judge sees that I'm obviously committed to proving my innocence beyond reasonable doubt, it's going to make the police's heresay evidence look like the sham it is. I don't mean to be rude but; you guys speculating that I'm not telling the full story would do well to go and have yourselves a read of the Land Transport Amendment Act 2003 http://www.police.govt.nz/service/road/boyracerdetails.html which gives police the authority to stop and impound a vehicle for 28 days if they believe on reasonable grounds that a vehicle has been operated in an illegal street race, an unnecessary exhibition of speed, or a burnout. Nowhere in the law does it say that they have to provide a single fact before laying charges, nor does it say that they have to produce them in court. All they need is "reasonable grounds". This law could potentially be used against anyone and my feeling is, if more people knew about how it actually works, there'd be a lot more people up in arms about it. I'm not taking the ride to try and get off a fine because I was being an idiot, I'm trying to prove that I was innocent against a charge which, as stated by a lawyer I spoke to (Patrick Winkler - http://www.activelegal.co.nz/) is heavily weighted on the side of the Police.

Hey. Cheers for the replies so far. No I wasn't caught, and no, I wasn't doing anything illegal. The problem with this law is that the onus is taken off the police, and put onto me to prove that I DIDN'T lose traction, instead of the police having to prove that I did. In my opinion that's very wrong. What I want is for someone impartial with proven knowledge to state in their view, how difficult it would be to commit the alleged act given the circumstances I've described. This was a fully loaded car, running like crap. Maybe I've always just had seriously underpowered E36's, but in my experience, to get one to actually lose traction you'd have to put it in right lock and floor it, and it would have to either have miniture wheels, or it would have to be very wet ,which it wasn't.

Hey all, 4 days after buying my E36, I get pulled over by the police, and have my car impounded. The evidence they used to justify this was a letter from a member of the public, and a series of photos showing me driving around a mates car, talking to him while parked next to him, and finally of me leaving - no smoke, no sideways cars, no marks on the road, and not even spinning wheels. I'd taken the car to a mechanic earlier in the day as it was behaving very sluggishly. This turned out to be due to a blocked cat converter, and worn gromit on the throttle cable adjuster, so with foot the the floor, the car was getting a max of between 2/3 and 3/4 throttle. So, I've been accused of doing "at least 3 donuts" in a 2.5l, automatic 325i, with 18x8" wheels, 4 people in the car, a blocked exhaust, and a max of 3/4 throttle, and supposedly I managed to do this without leaving a single mark on the road on a bone dry day. When I put that to the police officer, her response was that "you don't always leave a mark". As a result of this, my car was impounded immediately for 28 days, and I'm going to be charged with sustained loss of traction which carries a maximum penalty of $4500 in fines, and a minimum 6 month licence suspension. To me, the whole thing seems to be a gross invasion of my right to be innocent until proven guilty. I've never had a single driving conviction, the car was legal and tidy (it's even certed for the wheels and lowered suspension), and the evidence the police have equates to heresay. I've been in contact with MP David Cunliffe in regards to the above (and through him Clayton Cosgrove) who has responded as follows: "Thank you for your email, which I thoroughly agree with. I am copying it to our Law and Order spokesperson Hon Clayton Cosgrove and our Justice Spokesperson Charles Chauvel MP, for their consideration. You raise in my view important principles of due process. It highlights a major risk around the "boy racer" legislation." Anyway, it's a big ask but, what I'm trying to find at the moment is someone knowledgeable about BMW's/driving/motorsport, who could write some sort statement about their experience in the field and the technical difficulty of what I'm alleged to have done. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Seamus 0272669669

On closer inspection it's definately the tensioner making the noise. It's occasionally vibrating back and forth. Belt's seem to be fine. Going to try some belt grip and see if that makes a difference otherwise I guess I'm looking for a bearing

After the rubber gromit for the throttle cable adjustment mechanism. Also the plastic surround for the automatic gear shifter that displays what gear you're in, preferrably with all the LED's intact. PM or 027 266 9669 Cheers

Hey There, Tried doing a few searches for this but it's quite hard to describe so forgive me if I'm doubling up- I've just made the move away from Mitsi turbo's/glass cannons back to another E36 so still a little rusty on the diagnosis side of things... My '95 325i has an occasional tap at idle coming from the engine bay, on closer inspection, the sound seems to be coming from the centrifugal fan but I guess it could be anything in that region although it's definately not the timing chain or the vanos unit making the noise. When the car's put into drive, the chattering increases although it can hardly be heard inside the car. Once it gets above 15-25km/h it seems to go away. The previous owner reckons the aircon unit just needs to be tensioned a bit more but it doesn't really sound like belt slip to me. Going to have a better look at it tonight but any suggestions would be great. Cheers in advance
