superbikes and all the moto gp classes,if you want to see close racing watch the 125 moto gp bikes,not on very often man theres ussually 10 of em scrapping for the same peice of track.Actual moto gp bikes are fairly boring cos valentino rossi is so dominant,at least had the guts to leave the dominant team(honda) and go to prolly the next best(yamaha) to make some interest for us all!

BMW 535IS E34 1990 Manual 12.4 L 100 KM easy round town driving very easy open road driving 10 l 100 k slightly more sporting or hilly 11 l 100 k I knew Cain would beat me...sigh modern technology i spose.. when i bought my car the guy i bought it lived in ponsonby and worked in the middle of Auckland CBD,where in rush hour it takes about 7 ttraffic light changes brfore you can get across the intersection....the obc said 17 l 100 k!!! Still the big tank makes for a good range tho,wellington Auckland on one tank,be pretty low tho......

check the connector that the wires from the temp probe and the foglights,that likely where the problem is.

i will cheer you all up,i will do some sums tonite..it make you guys llok like you have got very economical cars..mind you i am about 3-4 l better per 100k than the PO figures on the obc when i bought it!!!!

carl is right there is a reason besides looks while proper m cars and sports variants have those subtle aero aids....Glens biggest problem will be the fact that his intercooler has precluded any aprons,there will be too much air getting under the car,i hope he has bonnet clips next time he tries.....

http://bmwe32.student.utwente.nl/ there is a link to -37 temp fix or similar on this page,it seems to be down at the moment it is acually am e32 site but the e32 and e34 share many such parts.As i said earelier,the temp at -37 is a warning so you cant display any other info till you have cleared that......the obc will <temp 3c> to warn of ice on the road,obviously -37 falls into the same caategory!

sheesh 80 litres is bad enough......i think i cracked 80 bucks a coupla times when petrolwas up at 1 20 something and most fuel pick ups are not right at the bottom of the tank,even when you run dry there will be a coupla litres sitting ina little hollow below the pick up,and you do get sh*t,and water sitting in that little well,It is good practice to keep the tank full ish you will less condesnsaton and therefore less rustI regularly go from full to light on fill light on etc etc

i reckon for our beamers we would need at least 3 ks 1 k run up,flying kilometre and then 1 k to stop....do you reckoncain you would be accellerating in 6th,i get the feeling that with a 3.6 diff the 535 would need 5th,but withhe high diff in your car sixth is almost an overdrive?????Course the big wide grill on your car makes for more drag,not like the nice tidy grills onthe aearly e 34's.Keep in touch re the intermarque

isnt that wot rides is for?

carl there aint a road long enough for your car to get to 307,air resistance would stop it at the same speed/revs as any other 320........now we need a long long road for my 535 to top out at 236 or so.........we should talk to steve and hugh to see if we can hold a sprint somewhere,we used to hold one over the wairarapa in the m,cycle club but we need a longer run for our cars to top out...hmmmmmm Any one know someone at Ohakea air base?????

the temp probe is near the "passengers " fog light in a big plug,sometimes because its relatively exposed that connectors getsa bit corroded and the resistance is enougn to upset the temp display.As far as not being able to program the display this maybe because of that temp probe problem,or are you getting any other error displays???,because that will prevent the obc display working properly,I think i have a link at home to show the fix for the fodlight/temp probe plug,watch this space tonite.....

Emma good job on the interior,nex ttime dont forget the brake pedal,but whatever you DONT MAKE THE PEDAL SLIPPERY! (and hide that de ordourizer) Cheers

see the weight of the armour has "pre lowered" the suspension....

e 34,s will soon rule bimmersport mmuuuuuwwwwhhaaahhhaaahhaahhhaahhhaaa

if the diff is lsd i beleive it has a s on the tag as well...i have never found the etk to be so specific......even if i load my vin it lets me select the self levelling edc suspension but i dont have it..it lets me select mtech suspension which i do have ,but it doesnt say what my diff ratio is,but it does let me select lsd....or should i say its lists parts.... or does this say that i have a 25 percentslip 3.64,why the choices?????

mate...... how come your car seemed to be the ultimate dust magnet then compared tot he rest of us?????

washed car twice in 48 hours....once before gymkhana(explained to wife that you cant turn up to a car club(or bimmersport) event with a dirty car,and as the pics show the cars were pretty dirty afterwards and as an added extra splatterings of bovine exhaust solids all over the place.........

its the small gearbox looking thing midway between the rear wheels.There will be a numbered tag which will say 3.64 or something.....that is the ratio of your diff Glenn are you sure the 535 had the large case,i thought the m5 and 540 did but not the 535???

Thanks cain but you have a larger diff than say my 535,quite apart from lsd or not????

click here

fyi e34s i think the 540s and m5 have a diiferent diff(or is that the large case you are talking about?)And the 540 has a very high ratio 2.9 or thereabouts.I think my 535 is 3.64,some of the later autos were 4 .27

i havent noticed too many e 34 diesels,there are three versions,i would think they would ALL be 2nd hand imports 524td '88-'92 M21 6 - 2443cc 192 km/h 12.9 sec 114hp / 115bhp 162ft.lbs@2400 Rpm 20:1 525td '93-'95 M51 6 - 2499cc 194 km/h 12.9 sec 114hp / 115bhp 181ft.lbs@2200 Rpm 22:1 525tds '91-'95 M51 6 - 2499cc 207 km/h 11.0 sec 141hp / 143bhp 192ft.lbs@2200 Rpm 22:1

i could be keen on some euro plate deal,either an upgrade or a personalised ized,but dont even think about a proper bmw euro plate if you think $250 is dear.How does this deal work???

euro plate 96BMW3

keep em it will be interesting at the next warrant for me then(see sig pic) I hate holden commodore foglights(or are they driving lights,they are really glary)
