Sorry Birds, i meant top loading housing. and FS5R30A did come out in some Z31, so that is how it would have one.

LUVPSI.... - See this is the expertise i like on SAU... i was wondering where it was.

The speedo drive on his box is at the rear, HENCE IT IS SHORTER!!! If he could just buy a VLT/Navara speedo drive he would do that (Which i think you will find he already has tried)... It won't fit this hybrid gearbox it is too long.Cheers

Thanks Marlin...

why can't anyone ever say THANKS on here... hahaha...

No we'll argue and rebut what your saying and pick out silly wording errors...

Notice the speedo drive is near the sandwich plate in this box and at the rear of the box in T304's pic... the long type sensor is longer than the housing T304's box has to go into...

"Thanks Web, your right.." oh am i ... Ok... your welcome SAU...

Yeah, let's start a section where people can thank us all for the free information we give.

Or they can donate, that would be better.

Or we can just give the information to help others.....and not dwell on the thankless task we are taking part in, being happy in the fact that we have helped someone.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
