Dude I still recon this is one of the sexiest wheels made by BMW

Oh, and picked up a really cheap fefurb'd Tech II M3 steering wheel ($250 inc shipping) from eBay. Smaller and thicker than the stock wheel. Looks and feels amazeballs... Best investment so far!!

This would be a concern to me. The cost of getting that sorted now regardless of what it actually is would outweigh the drama of a toasted head or a breakdown down the track. A preventative waterpump swap isn't a bad or unnecessary bit of maintenance. I've read that the plastic impeller can fracture and be held and function by the angle of the fracture itself. I did mine recently on a different BMW engine, that scenario is practically what happened to mine though mine let go in a short space of time. The replacement I installed had a cast metal impeller, Seems a bit more trustworthy. Regardless of where the coolant leak is, you shouldn't have one.

Got a new roundel and quarter window seals from the states. The progress is staggering! In other news I pick up some new BBS for it next week!!

Darren, any doubts I had about the M70 are gone. It's still not running perfectly but once I've finished the remedial and got some decent chips, I think it will be hard to justify an S62 conversion... The manual is still a must.

Holy sh*t. Do want. 10k is not a bad deal either! Swaps for a Subaru GTB? lol
