Potentially looking at selling my wagon before I spend a whole lot of money on it. very hard to find diesel wagons here in nz particularly nz new ones. 2006 330d: Nz new, Black leather interior, electric seats, parking sensors, cruise control (I think will have to confirm), sunroof (functions perfectly). 18 inch optional wheels. current wof and rego, 16x,xxx kms. RUC will be up to date. Drives great only considering selling as I’ve got two other cars and don’t really need a third, and I know if I keep it I’ll spend a bunch of money on it doing m sport conversion, tune etc etc. these are very very hard to find, similar spec 335d albeit lci is listed for 14-15k, so price is roughly based off that considering it’s not lci and it’s a 30d not a 35d. located Auckland north shore, welcome to view, overall fairly tidy car but obviously has some marks here and there as you’d expect. $9000 or happy to consider swaps for other interesting/cool cars

Hi there, I’m getting through my 325i m57 swap and i’m trying to work out how to sort out my wiring. My engine came with a full harness. I was thinking of getting somebody to do it but I realise this would be expensive, it’s my first swap and I am pretty good mechanically but wiring definitely isn’t my thing, what would I need to do to get it running?

So I recently bought a 2009 E70 X5 3.0SD privately from trademe. It came with a list and receipts of all the good stuff being done (swirl flap delete, new glow plugs, new injectors etc etc). I paid the guy online after a very positive phone conversation and my parents drove from Invercargill to Dunedin to pick it up and bring it back for me as I was away camping for the weekend with the wife and kids. I got back to find out this thing has a knock... I've had it on the hoist and it's definitely coming from the bottom end and I'm pretty sure it's a rod bearing. I contacted the seller immediately and he is claiming he thought it was just diesel knock and didn't know there was anything wrong with it etc etc. The short version is, unless I take him to the disputes tribunal and win a case I'm not getting my money back. My own stupid fault for just taking the guys word for it and for not going to personally check it out. Don't worry I'm already beating myself up for not doing so, and for taking the word of some lying asshat, as after this last conversation with him I'm 100% convinced he knew it was buggered. Anyway... I'm not opposed to fixing it up as I really love everything else about it, and have the tools/workshop to do it, but I would need to preferably find a short or long block that isn't already knocking to start with. I'm hoping someone here might know where I could find such a thing that isn't going to run me broke as I've already forked out enough to buy the car. If I can find either a long or short block I'll strip it down and do rod bearings and timing chains etc before I put it back in the car and then I know what I've got. This is the later twin turbo engine M57N2 alloy block, not the cast iron one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
