So both are South-Africa made? That's interestering, very rare. Pity you cannot get some build sheets for these, would have been interesting to compare with the Euro and US cars.
Do you know if that leather interior that was mentioned in another thread, is a standard feature on all SA?

AfricaOffroad I bought the white one, Got it yesterday but im not too happy, theres oil in the nr 5 spark plug hole and the car is leaking oil heavy.
Most of the components in the engine bay doesn't line up, the radiator is tightened with cable ties, the brake fluid holder is being held upright with a home made strap, the aircon pipes isnt connected, the airfilter doesnt line up with the mounting holes.
I don't understand why the things doesn't line up.
Leet, welcome to the Board.
Lets see some pics of the car, close ups of the problems you describe.
You will get lots of advice here on how to correct issues. R37 000, what can you buy for that kind of money these days?
Oil leaks - make sure one of them is not your cam chain tensioner diaphram - if so , immediately replace with the unit from the E36 3.2 M3 - dont mess around, if your motor goes pop because of this you're in for big $$$.
First of all, Leet nice collection of cars in that garage of yours !!!
From your pics its clear that the E34 has had a front end rebuild. Your grill is the wide version found on later cars, its not the 1992 original. Bonnet has also been changed to match the new grill. Lots of missing original clips on the radiator, clutch resevoir - it should be installed in front of the coil with a small steel fabricated bracket.
As you say the airbox is not lining up at all. The little rubber mounts are missing, although it does not matter as they wouldn't line up anyway.
I suspect poor workmanship and attention to detail during the front end repair is the root cause of all the misalignment. dont think you have an easy job getting it all sorted.
The Z3 is my moms car, its a 2.8 1998 model with 28 000km on the clock.
The X5 is my dads, its a 3.0d 2007 Aug model with 1500km.
My Blue m5 is a 2006 with 16 000km.
