Nice buy :thumbs:

 

[Gizmo]

I took those TSW 17"wheels off and fitted the original 15" wheels the car came with. The TSW wheels will be for sale without tyres if anyone is interested...
Today I will do a full service along with new back pads and an engine/under carriage cleaning, oh and tackle the intermittent power windows.:idea:

 

[328ii]

Good job guys..!

What a cool day with the car. Shot for the service Gizmo, can't get a better guy to work on a BMW!

Now about the bloody fuel price!

Now about the bloody fuel price!

You don't complain about fuel prices when you have a lovely 6 pot, 3 Series mate... Nice one.

On Monday, I fitted new rear pads, adjusted the handbrake and deleted the ugly towbar, car is smooth and clean at the back now!:thumbs: Next on the list is front window motors as they are giving in...:thumbdo:

Nice clean ride. I like the soon to be finished product looks sexc..

By the way Gizmo why dont you like the m3 skirts that it came with.. ?

 

[Gizmo]

Finding another silver m3 sideskirt was going to be difficult, the one I got was local and sprayed the right colour to begin with.

Haha it had it's first drift last night. I'm really impressed with the stock setup when it comes to the suspension. Just don't trust that auto box and the exhaust note is all wrong, but will be sorted soon. This car makes me wish I spent my life on the road. She is going to be an awesome track car

 

[Gizmo]

Good news and bad news, good news I replaced the driver's window motor yesterday and the passenger window switch, now all electric windows are working perfectly, bad news is the starter solenoid is beginning to stick so we gonna have to swap out the starter sometime soon...Possibly the same time we do the 6spd swap...:fencelook:

 

[Zach]

And those beautiful wheels and we need to give her a lower stance too :rollsmile:

 

[SEXCZN]

Yeah starters are a pain to take out.. gotta drop the gearbox.. LOL bmws make life hard..

 

[symmat001]

Gizmo, wanted to know how much the auto to manual swop costs?

How much is a good manual box, and secondly how much will the auto fetch when it's out? Obviously theres labour as well.

Theres a 328 im looking at, but it's an auto just wanted to know how much it would cost and if its worth it

 

[Gizmo]

You looking at around R16k for a 6spd conversion, labour included.:thumbs:

Not sure on what the auto is worth...
