Put the throttle bodies together

Finally after all my years of waiting I`ve got myself a post `00 M5.(build date 05/01) Fresh Bilstein with a Tubi exhaust system. A few cosmetic items to sort out then it`s of to OCD for its makeover Le Mans Blau with all the facelift options available. Though there were no major mechanical alterations to the E39 M5 during its entire production run, there were a number of equipment alterations that appeared with the 2001 model-year M5 (from 9/00 production). These include:-Revised headlight design incorporating illuminated "Corona" rings -Revised tallight design-Park Distance Control sensors in the front bumper (previously in rear only)-Thicker three-spoke M steering wheel identical to the one fitted to the E46 M3-Grey instrument faces -Solar sensor for standard automatic climate control-Revised navigation/audio unit with larger (6.5-inch) monitor-Rear head protection airbags added-Second-generation M Mobility tire repair system in place of earlier version-Available M Audio System with special tweeters, Kevlar/carbon coaxial speakers and two subwoofers behind the rear console-Alcantara headliner included with Extended Leather interior (previously only included with Complete Leather)

Just bought my first BMW a couple of weeks ago, best decision I've ever made, So much fun! Had a Diesel TT i brought from the UK, so the 135i is definitely a step up! Was my friend who got me looking at them and so glad he did! Probably won't be doing too many mods, got some gloss black grills on the way, and maybe a remap in the future but the power difference compared to the TT is definitely enough to keep me happy for a long time before I need more!

I've got the tools. Normally just loan them for a box of beers

The exhaust sounds amazing on this!

yes particularly hard to find these days, all cracked in the sun and heat when E30s were worth nothing and left outside peoples houses while other cars got the garage before the value of E30s went up again. some people are happy to settle for second best flocking them, others will put a dash mat on (like i have in both my E30s, to protect the minty dash in my cabby, and to cover the cracked one in my coupe, the coupe not special enough to receive my spare minty one just yet maybe one day) have seen a few people wrap them in leather, think like the E32 750iL had, which looks smart, and at the prices of a minty dash is probably about on par cost wise these days?? if thats your thing.

thanks mate but all sorted now. brent has sorted me a non airbag one. cheers

I..... errrrr...... bloody kerbed a wheel. arghhhhh! Oh well, in to get repaired next week I reckon. Wet conditions, not used to pulling in to three empty parallel parks, in a rush... bam. Never in my life have I done that before - steels or alloys. And an RF lamp warning indicator came up. So I checked it out, got the RF side light working again... and the warning came back. Found my high beam plug disconnected, reconnected it, and all going sweet. Net cost: Nil. Nada. Zilch. Still recovering from grinding my lovely rim against the kerb. Wow.

Cars like this are likely garaged all its life. But velour seat and those mats are interesting. I was expecting leather on all 7-series Those tyres could be original too. lol....

Since you got a lot of practice at making yourself feel sick, im sure you will ace the puke test!
