Very tidy car, well done!

Quick question with the seats, I've searched lots but can't find a answer - will the airbags work if you replace the front seats? I've always thought they had a sensor in the stock seats to activate the airbags in a crash?

Thanks Chris

By airbags do you mean the one in the steering wheel? There was only one wire to connect and that was for the seat belt

Didn't know there was an airbag sensor for the seats

I thought I read somewhere that they have a pressure sensor in the front seat for airbag deployment? Maybe it goes by the seatbelt sensor?

So this happened tonight. At my mechanics house hanging out and waiting for a service on the car. Had to drop someone off, on my way back down Merrylands Rd I've hit a pot hole

The way the car felt and what I could hear I thought it was the coilover but after checking it out it's was the camber arm.

A few early birthday presents for myself on tuesday. New coil packs as mine were starting to fail and also a new clutch

Coil packs are in, clutch will go in in a few weeks or when I blow the current one. I was trying to blow it on wednesday at the creek but that didn't happen lol

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      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.
