Mikal 4 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 After spending the summer on a little Suzuki moped I decided it was about time for a safer winter vehicle. Wanted to get something cheap and Japanese but the more time I spent on trademe, the more BMWs were added to my watchlist. Ended up with this NZ new 328i. It's missing a pedal but ill get a third put in sooner or later. It feels good to be back in the Mafia Also managed to wire up a 3.5mm jack into the tape deck today. Like the look of the standard unit but needed iPod connectivity. I'll do a write up if anyone else is keen to do the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 601 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 You made the right choice on cars! thats a sneaky way to do the aux cable, Im just using the old warehouse car kit in the touring atm but may have to change to that or if I put a factory unit back in the M3 will deffinanlty be doing it that way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarinD 8 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 Already planning for a third pedal haha. So much for "cheap daily!" On another note... Notice you swapped back to the Mafia signature etc... Do I sense a revival? Would be cool to not be the only one rocking the vinyl haha. Justin has a few candidates too! ^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikal 4 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 Haha the mafia can't be revived... Because it never died!!!! Would be cool to get a few more stickers made up though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 As a fellow E36 owner I feel the need to say something here too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikal 4 Report post Posted July 29, 2013 Haha not a lot changed yet. All I've had done is tinted windows and then emptied my wallet at Glenns. (water pump/thermostat housing, CABs, lower outer ball joints, viscous clutch and fan, AC idler, Tensioner, drive belt...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikal 4 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Nope only since about Christmas... They are a bit curbed but I stole them off of my sisters 318i thats broke and gathering dust in a shed so they cost me nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikal 4 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Slightly lower at the front, put Darins old bilstein struts/Springs in on the weekend. I'd say it's about 15 or 20mm lower now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikal 4 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Thought so, does look good. Are they BBS wheel/reps or something else entirely? Just reps, only 7.5s but they look a little better than the standard 16. I'm keen to try get some E36s together for some pics soon if anyone wants to? Darin is in... Any others keen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave@nz 11 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Hi, Your car looks good I like the colour, can you do a write up on the aux cable install also I see it has tape 1 on the screen do you have to somehow set the tape running to listen to the iPod and does this cause any noise problems.
