Will be heading over to Sydney tomorrow for work and will be mostly in Chadswood area. Hopefully I'll spot a few nice V35s there as I think based on the forum, it seems much more common on the road vs here in Auckland! :)

Was really hoping to see some nice ones around..... :)

Spotted my beloved silver V35 coupe driven away by its new owner, Kevin...

So long, goodbye....

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did over the past 2-3 years, Kev! Take a good care of it and I'm sure it'll find itself a good new home....

1. Need a car with MINIMUM 4 door, no less.

2. An opportunity has come to do novated lease to get some tax benefit - even if this means gonna be Aust Delivered car only.

3. Best to sell my V35 now before every new kids on the block has one - being rare/exclusive still keep the price up so I would only loose 30-40% in depreciation NOW (if including all accessories / rims added over 2.5 years), rather than 75% depreciation over 3.5yrs that happened to my R33 Gtst 4 years ago.

Thing is I estimated lead time to get a solid sales lead is 3 month, didn't expect the car to sell WITHIN 1 week and now I'm stranded in between getting a new leased car.

also another irony is we were trying to find a new place in Doncaster / Templestowe area but alas the property prices we couldn't really afford finding one worthwhile...

and now my V35 managed to find a new home in Templestowe (where new owner lives)....

does that mean I have to sell myself so I can afford getting a place there?

Shame you had to let it go, but you obviously have good justification for selling it. New owner is lucky with you as a previous owner!

Still welcome on our cruises... we need someone to polish our wheels :D

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.

      I love saying Samsonas lol. Maybe it's because I secretly want one, but also don't want to sell a kidney.

      By Yeetus · Posted

      My budget has already blown way out but I've got most of the big-ticket items out of the way haha I just got the box back from the shop, got them to inspect it and install one of those refresh kits with all new syncros and bearings so should feel much nicer. But yeah if there's a weak point it'll be the gearbox, I'm gonna roll with it for now and hope it holds together. Do have an Xtreme organic sprung twinplate clutch to go in so if/when the box lets go I'll be back open for suggestions haha
