Car don't go...

Fri, 18 May 2012 18:43:05 +1200

Hi Y'all, I've been off the rd for near 6 months now.
Was never in a hurry, blew the water pump, had to get help to get the engine fan off.
Put it all back together and no go.
Channged the petrol pump. No go.
Changed the Crank angle sensor. No Go
Borrowed a cam angle sensor. No Go
Bought a code reader, says main power to DME.
I do have spark, and fuel pressure, but no go...
Bit worried about the CAS gearwheel on the balancer, all signs are pointing that way, it'd had a bit of a scrape, nothing much more than a few scratches...
What about distance for the CAS? Simple plug and play, they don't seem to have any means for adjusting them.
Bought OEM item for $42 US, no go, so 'borrowed a new one $329 no go...
Replaced all 3 relays, no go.
Can get a DME out of a trashed 540i, but not keen on taking it to the shop and paying top $ for parts...
\Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated.

I found these two diamond schwartz e30's slowly rotting away, and decided to intervene.

This is them after a wash, de-weeding and 50 cockroaches had escaped.

1 is a pfl 323i manual, the other a pfl 320i auto

Now wondering what the go is with re-compliance and suspension? the coupe has been dropped and is on some "interesting" chromes and stretched tyres.

The 4 door is at a good height on some 15's that should clean up ok.

The plan is to get the coupe re-reg using parts from both.

For re-compliance will the suspension need to be back to original or just legal?

Anyone interested in those lovely chromes feel free to make an offer......

E30 at Pickapart Hamilton

Fri, 18 May 2012 17:37:23 +1200

Just went in today and there was a 1.8L Auto F/L E30 Sedan there. Was in pretty good nick. I took the door trims and some small bits I wanted.

The seats are the normal boring ones but were pretty good, no rips etc. Interior still complete except for door trims. And the dashboard is f--ked. Front valance was stoved in and passengerside spotlight smashed.

Anybody after something? I am going back tomorrow so can check if what you need is there (give me your cell # so I can text you). PAP prices are WAY cheap, I got the door trims for $7each compared to $30ea at a wreckers. So let me know. As for mechanical parts and anything that usually needs "checking" cannot be checked so are sold asis by PAP - Im sure everyone knows how they work.

I dont know how long the car will sit there for, by the looks I am the first person to touch it but once the word gets out, who knows.

Also, if you're local to Hamilton then go have a look - I am just posting this for outa towners who cant just go look

E36 Temperature gauge issue.

Fri, 18 May 2012 17:02:15 +1200

On my car I have the stock E36 temperature gauge sensor fitted inline with a coolant pipe & wired to the corresponding wires running to the dash cluster.

The trouble is as the engine warms the temperature needle doesn't rise with it, even when its at normal operating temperature, it just sits there and remains cold, however when the power is removed from the battery terminal, and put back on, the gauge suddenly starts reading the resistance of the sensor and reads in the middle of the gauge, where one would expect the temperature to be.

But then as it cools, the gauge comes down, however if the engines started and heated up again, the needle will not climb... unless I disconnect the power, then it jumps back up to the warmer temperature reading.

Any idea why the temp gauge needle would not be rising with constant power until its interrupted and put back on?

The sensor is working fine, all tested and the resistances are right, I've even tried another off another E36 and it gives the same result.

Upon testing the dash by holding the ODO button and turning the key to 'ign' it performs the gauge test and the temperature needle rises and falls.

Any help would be great! Obviously it has something to do with my engine conversion, but I can't understand what...

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello"

WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes."

WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?"

MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$90,000."

MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it."

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really want."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"

MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open.

He turns and asks, "Anyone know who's phone this is?"

Factory 2nd's, Damaged in Transit.. page now up BARGAINS

Fri, 18 May 2012 11:20:14 +1200

Hey guys,

Importing products can be great and sometimes annoying, from time to time an item or items can get squashed or beaten up as we call it and this can be due to the packing from the factory, flight or sea conditions on the way over here or rough handling by customs or couriers once its arrived or the supplier/manufacturer might have a batch of factory 2nd's and they slip one or 2 into your order and then claim "we knew nothing about it and it won't happen again" **Tui Ad moment - Yeah Right**, hehe

So we have received a few over the time and generally put them aside and either sell them to fiends etc who don't mind a small scratch or scrape on their product or use them ourselves....... BUT we thought why not make a page on our website and let you also take advantage of the odd bargain - Always thinking of other people, lol

There's big brand gear (TiAL, Tomei...) and products like catch cans, carbon goodies, cam gears.....on there so check out the page and let us know if there's any product/s of interest to you, also re-check it every now and again as we will keep putting up items as we receive them or we just have a product thats been discontinued/end of line etc etc.

E30 Sway bars

Wed, 16 May 2012 17:25:59 +1200

I'm thinking of buying some new sway bars for my e30 and from what i can tell, Bimmerworlds own kit Link appears like the best for price and quality. Im pretty set on a 22mm/19mm setup, and theirs looks like the nicest kit using those size bars. Has anyone got their kit? I'd be interested to know if its as good as it looks in terms of quality. H&R's bars look the most professional to me, but are soo much more expensive than competitors.

In terms of quality, what have other people found from other kits?
Just going from pictures, it looks like some(Ireland engineering for example) are a bit rough and use average quality components.

How do I force my BMW E39 GPS to acquire satellites

Wed, 16 May 2012 14:27:01 +1200

GPS has been working fine since I have had the car but on the last 2 trips it has completely failed to get a lock on any satellites. It keeps thinking I am starting out somewhere where it seems to have been last used successfully and now keeps telling me "Return to the Planned Route"

How can I make it re-aqcuire the GPS Satellites?

If it is going to involve a major repair then it might be time to think about upgrading to the big screen version version (Mk11?). It might also fix my problem that most of my TV stations no longer come in very well and seem to have the "MUTE" message showing at the bottom of the screen....sigh

Hi all,

I've recently purchased my first BMW after owning a number of Hondas (and an Audi A6 - don't hold that against me, it was a horrible vehicle and I was quite young at the time).

Long time fan - many of the family have/had BMW's of all descriptions, and with my wife now working at BMW I thought I'd join the ranks.

I'm based in Auckland, and have been a regular on the NZHonda forum from 2002. There's a chance I have met a number of you over the past few years in WGTN or AKL through family connections and/or race days, so I welcome the opportunity to reintroduce myself and the chance to become part of the BMW community.

I look forward to learning more about the community and meeting with you all in time.

Cheers,
Christian

Mechanically very good, has a few cosmetic issues, small area of paint fade on the bonnet and a wee bit on the boot(common for red paint). Dent in the bottom of the drivers door and a couple of small car park scratches else the red paint looks amazing. Comes on original SE Alloys bought some M5 wheels to put on it but took them off as ride was to rough for post-earthquake Christchurch (negotiable if you want these too).
Original kidney grilles were stolen from my work carpark so have replaced with black ones (suit the red better)

Has been very well looked after and interior is in very good shape - Full black leather with electric seats.
Has pioneer Head unit with ipod connectivity, 2 Sony 5" speakers in the rear 4" fusions in the door and factory tweeters and front 5"

A real pleasure to drive and i am going to be truly sad to see it go. KMs will go up as its still my daily.

Help with e39 sucking air/overheating

Tue, 15 May 2012 15:02:29 +1200

Hi, I have a 1996 520i e39 and I just sold it, but it keeps overheating for the new owner.
I'll spare the long story, but so far:

cleaned the radiator
changed the thermostat
replaced waterpump
checked viscous fan
bled it 10000 times
replaced and tightened hoses and clamps
vacuum pressure tested to get the air out

Whats happening now is it will run fine for days, even a week or two, then overheat. Other then that it runs fine normally. It will only overheat when the engine is under pressure, when it idles its fine, if it starts to overheat and you pull over and idle, it goes back to 1/2 way.
No water in the oil, it isn't missing etc.
All I believe it is still just an air leak somewhere, but this is costing $ and I'd like to know if this has happened to anyone else.

I'm at my wits end, every week this car is coming back to me and I feel really bad.

Any help would be most appreciated thanks!

Purchased it from VeeDub last November, planning to refurb them and put them on my e36. Midway through it however I have just purchased an e30 and would prefer the cash. Also have another idea on wheels for the 36.

Link to thread http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....&hl=STYLE+5

Lips have been stripped of the clear and sanded from all curbing, just needs a polish which as you see I have started doing on one. Bolts are off, all bolts there and I have also started polishing these, probably done less than 30. Centres have been powdercoated in a matt white. I think they would look stunning with the polished lips or wouldn't cost much to sandblast them and paint them to your liking. Also have a set of brand new centre caps to go with them that I just picked up at the cost of $200 from the dealer.

Rims will come as shown and not assembled.

Ill start with the asking price of $1500 which I think is fair. Firm on price as of now and will chuck onto trademe if doesn't sell here.

Product review gone viral

QUOTE (from the bottom of page 1)

Sergeant slaughter and his two lovely daughters
Do get the occasional trim.
New bird on the stage, nearly half my age
My purchase a bit of a whim

The instruction book did not get a look
I thought I knew how to use Veet
Whipped out my tower, whilst stood in the shower
Spreading it liberally all over my meat

I flipped off the cap, lifted up the old chap
Pushing the limits i'm sure
I wanted to groom in the valley of doom
Now my starfish is bleeding and raw

I tried to keep calm washing off the napalm
Leaving me all of a fluster
You could boil a small lake or cook a big steak
With the heat from my genital cluster.

Less grass on the wicket, but all's still not cricket
It does add an inch or two
A full week past, how long will it last?
Still unable to sit, stand or poo.

You may well cry but tears will dry,
Leaving balls as smooth as jam jars,
My slong looks huge, still no sign of pubes
So i'm happy to award it 5 stars

E38 navigation: widescreen : japanese to english

Tue, 15 May 2012 09:37:57 +1200

Hey people,

bought my first BMW last friday, and only thing wrong with it is the fact that it is a Japanese import so the screen is basically useless to me.
Can anyone tell me what the best way to go about changing this to english is?
I am based in Wellington so is there any locals that can work on these to make them NZ new spec?
Whats the quality of the "plug and play" items on trademe for the e38's?

Car is a 2001 BMW 735i Motorsport

All help will be hugely appreciated,

Cheers
Andrew

Carroll Shelby, designer of the Shelby Cobra and other sports cars that placed him in the pantheon of auto industry legends, has died at age 89, his company said today.

He died on Thursday at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, according to the company, Carroll Shelby Licensing. The firm did not disclose the cause of death. A post on his Facebook page last month revealed he had been hospitalised for pneumonia.

Shelby was one of the few prominent designers to work with all three major American car companies, starting with Ford Motor Co in the 1960s. His last collaboration with Ford was on the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500.

Shelby's high-performance cars helped Detroit challenge the dominance of the Europeans in racing. Ralph Gilles, head of product design for Chrysler, said Shelby created cars that helped enthusiasts worldwide find "joy and self-actualisation."
