tried and got a couple of links in the BMW forum but they seem more helpful in finding an ipod kit in there!

so i thought i'd try the good old jap car nuts in here! as jap car nuts aint interested in just ipod kits but also stuff under the bonnet!

basically long story short! speeding at 120mph = 2 month ban = bye bye MR2 Turbo (RIP missing the old girl!) = buy sensbile 4 seater = stupidly buy's a BMW E36 328 coupe = BMW catches the dreaded nikasil bore wear crap! = in search for a second hand (nikasil prob fixed!) low millage 328 engine!

any help lads? please i need numbers and stuff so i can get the BMW fixed!

i should have paid the £700 difference in insurance with the MR2T and driving ban
on the plus i get my dirty mits on a AW11 MR2 MK1 soon!!!

Jap Chat to the rescue

www.fabdirect.com will certainly have one, but its bound to be pricey.

Other than that try the forums @ www.e36coupe.co.uk
