Hey guys, I've just got myself an m135i. Loving it so far! Rob

Just bought this yesterday - think it complements my '98 E36 cab nicely... @Olaf wanted to see pictures so here you are!

Hi people Dan here new member.Canterbury based and first BMW I've owned just jumped from an Audi to this and loving it. 06 530i msport. Heaps of questions to ask and help needed . cheers Dan.

Hey Dan - your car looks awesome! Nice buy

nice buying, Tim! ++ like the crazy Pirelli edition interior.

My car had tint when i bought it. AM reception is non-existant - FM is fine. Was a very good job, the tint goes right to the edge of the glass and has had no peeling. You can't tell really.

Looks great. I love that tread pattern on the seat cushions!

So, irony here... the only insert that slipped was from one of the tension arms, that came off without a hitch. It was the two side ones, that connection from the bottom to the top, that were just rude. On both sides, they weren't at all respectful of the amount of money I spent on tools to get them out gently at all. We managed to not miss the end of the balljoint, and the big f'ing hammer left no marks anywhere. EDIT: We used very high jackstands. Access was only an issue at the end, when we lowered the car onto ramps so we could torque up the bolts to the subframe. That was awkward as anything and having a lift would have been really handy just then...

forgetting the M10 here is the scene as I know it: there are 2 gear boxes and two bell housings between them. the 6 cylinder bell housing and the 4 cylinder m40 bell housing. the gear boxes are g260 and g240. The 325 has the g260 and the 320, 318 and 316 have g240. 6 and 4 cyl same pattern but they bolt up on different angles. 4 cylinder bolt angle same as M50 and M52 so 4 cly g240 okay for the swap. 6 cylinder bellhousing will make gearbox and gear stick sit on 10 degree angle on m50/52. this makes 320 shitest conversion gearbox as you'll have the weaker gearbox with gearstick on angle. Only the 325 has the medium case diff and larger half shafts. Both the 320 and 318 316 have small case diff and small half shafts. the bigger front struts are a lottery with virtually no chance on 316 318, some chance on 320 and very good but not guaranteed on 325......I think

You didn't smack the ALLOY front hubs with a big hammer, did you??? They're known to crack or let go of the inserts, if you do! They're fun to access, though, aren't they!?!?!?!

$1200 for a staggered set of 18s

Pretty cool. Should prob get a cert, sport seats etc for an asking price 25k, some peoples expectations get quite high for that kinda coin. Thats e34, e39 M5 and E46 M3 money!

Howdy from Welly Dan! More E60 goodness

Welcome Dan, wow your car is low, what does it ride like??

welcome. good to see one more e60 join the fray.

Welcome! Looks nice, is it on bags?
