E39 M5 front seat transplant.

Love your car, I must have one... one day.

^^^^^ Sounds the most likely. Check for fraying of the inner cable, Vac leak normally wouldn't increase revs that amount. Or, its a fault in the drive by wire throttle...

hehe - those are awesome. Can't wait to see them fitted. Love your car. Keep it up.

those are so tuff. The tyres remind me of speedway sprint car tyres

If he wants to keep it stockish probably not much point, there won't be any performance gain. Little to gain from removing secondary cats, to get any benefit from removing the primary's you will need an aftermarket tune to run. Its very tight in there so wouldn't recommend anything other than aftermarket downpipes. I like many other 335 owners on here will warn you. Once you pop you can't stop,

At the moment one of my rages (that hasn't already been mentioned) are the rotten swine that scoot past the traffic queue in a turning lane, then merge back into the traffic down the road. Mostly happens in Wellington heading towards the terrace tunnel, they'll take the Willis st lane and cut across at the lights. Dangerous, annoying and only holds up the traffic more. For some reason it usually happens in moderate traffic, so there's still good flow. They maybe only save 20 secs at best, beats me why they do it. Sheer arrogance in my opinion. Yesterday a white Lexus did it and I'll be damned if I didn't consider putting 1.6 tonnes of German bumper against the side of their car. That's one thing I like about the e32, bumpers that bump. Those meaty plastic shields have had a few scrapes by dullards with no concept of spatial awareness over the years. Mostly car parks or someone attempting to cut across a few lanes in traffic. Grab $2-50 cash off the offending driver, light sand, plastic paint and she's as good as new Modern bumpers are sleek but if you use them they crumple and scratch.

And long may it continue to get stupider!

I hear ya Josh. I am pretty miffed that I have had to open and close it a few times, and that's mindful that it has already been opened. I guess I will know in a week or so, which is a guess on how long it took for the original one to turn up. But...plenty to do in the meantime. A secondhand DME is not too hard to find, or costly, but sure, I will be pretty frustrated if I have sunk this one.
