Yeah they are can be slow sometimes in regarding to dispatching, depends on their international departure schedule or volumes as sometimes its very quickly received and sent. They are still the cheapest ive come across besides Amazon so i still use them for smaller US only items. Fedex via FCP covers the rest.

Just another way people in certain countries used to describe a certain specification car, same as saying 540i sport, mtech, msport, motorsport etc, most BMW enthusiasts tend to connect the dots. Funnily enough ive never come across across 535is that had the thicker swaybars (M5) as standard. Would think the 540is would though.

Yeah that's around what i think they are worth and what market has appeared to value them at. Lower k's, colour and general condition may add some extra value but 50k is either a dream or as @KwS stated.

I recall Ross selling this on tm way back, sure it was in the 25k-35k region then. I never saw big value in these myself, id rather covert an auto to spec which is very achievable and have practically the same car that cost half as much.

I had all round them on a E39 a bought and yeah wouldn't say they are either but they certainly aren't in the performance orientated group. With Mono's in the rear i rest my case.

I swear every time i see a car with a coilover setup it comes on mediocre tyres at best. I guess most install them for the cosmetic aspect or maybe ran out of money and had to skim on other areas.

As long as you don't care about having possible error codes come up when scanning then its the same as most cars. You either removal all components, re-route\cap any lines and blank the injection ports, or you can just leave everything in place and put a plate between the pump and valve to block the exhaust side of it, block off the intake vacuum lines with something round and unplug the pump.

What do you mean by resolved it? possible error codes?

First WTB listing for a air pump ive ever seen in NZ

Next time ill lent you my gas torch

New LCM will require coding which is easy with something like PA soft, you could try resoldering your old one or ive got spare LCM III-B if you want it. Demon tweaks in the UK or FCP euro in US are good options for shocks

Don't think would be a commonly available part. Id say it's more likely the 2x o-rings that would need replacing rather than the whole mount. Dealers usually stock those sort of things.

Is that a tool you bought, had made up etc ?

Modifying is a huge different game but if they are both manual id take the 540i any day, much more power, nicer to rev out with a strong top end. I think they sound better, especially earlier dirty NZ new ones etc with no cat or o2 sensors with the imperfect idle. The E34 540i is the closest thing BMW ever made to a traditional American Muscle type car.

Ah
