Hey guys and girls,

it has 11months Rego and is priced to sell. $12,000. (204kw@w & 750nm - Still on stock turbo @ 16psi)

I'll start off with the extra's:
Freeway Dolphin vented bonnet $1000ono

The only things to gripe about are.......

The Key-less entry doesn't work - I'm guessing it needs a new fob fob for the key as I've replaced the battery and that didn't get it working.

The rear tailgate struts have leaked again, had them re-gassed about 3 years ago ($80) - (might be better off getting genuine)

There is a Dent in the drivers door - easily pushed out via paint-less dent removal. (Photo below)


One of the Parker lenses has fallen out and is floating in the passengers side headlight BUT i have a pair of spare lights here which i haven't got round to pulling apart and painting black.

I think the aerial booster wire has come off or not working as the Radio reception drops out occasionally (Arial is in the rear quarter windows)


Other than that get in and drive the thing!!!!

I don't know how much more motivation you need, look at that sexy bitch AHHAA

These wheels do not come with the car as they are buckled!!!!

Hit me up, have a chat, come for a test drive, bring a deposit - the car will not disappoint..................

If you've been sitting on the fence last chance to go for a test drive is this week as the insurance run's out on the 6th of May.

Open to negotiation on price. I'll give it another month and then ill probably strip the car.

 

 

Cheers, Theo.

    • 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.
