My interview went well, but much experience tells me that means little or nothing. On my side, the hiring manager did say that there was nothing that gave him any cause for concern, and had he thought I wasn't in the running, I would have been out much sooner. (I was there for 2 hours.) So... Now we wait. Some more. In the meantime, here's a pic of a nice-looking E46 coupe in New Plynouth.

As the title says I just bought myself a 1993 e34 540i auto sedan. Currently throwing lots of money at it (not just at the petrol station either), I'm currently on my second FCP Euro order... Its my first BMW and I think I've been converted. Now to find some wheels... anyone got a set of style 66?

Okay, slow Dave gets it now... "a bit much" means $$$. ? But so, so sexy.

Just ordered one yesterday - I'll be brewing my own filthy carpet blend soon

Use inpa to sync the dme with the emulator. There is a function in the menu somewhere.. I think from memory it’s called ews alignment..? google it

I'll post some pictures once its a bit tidier - cosmetic condition isn't the best on this car... Those style 42s look nice but I'm after a set of 17s, style 66s are quite common and I like them - although every set I've seen people are asking a bit too much for them. If anyone has a set of OEM wheels that would suit an e34 I'd be open to suggestions. I really need something to replace the OEM style 5s, the only tyres you can get for them now are supercats and a few other budgets tyres. I did think about a manual conversion, stopped when I saw the price / lack of availability of the 6 speed...

WOF and a wash ? first time its been out in 4 months

We own BMWs though. Only Toyota drivers have spare time to cook- we are all in the garage chasing oil leaks!

yes , have 4 guys from overseas wanting to buy it to save it germany , belgium , SA and canada

I never really bothered to understand how valvetronic works in BMW engines. This video breakdown explains it quite well What is generally thought about the system? Is it reliable? Seems like there's a lot of small parts that could fail!

Water??? You need energy to produce it, of course, but it's the energy storage capacity, weight and time to refuel that make it attractive over those nasty batteries...

Aren't all modern BMW engines just a collection of small parts that could break?

bwa ha ha ha. Center hanging bearing...? Knocking noise in transmission tunnel solved.

Buy my Style 42's or BBS RX2. way nicer than Style 66

some updated pics of the compact have driven it now , goes ok, does need some work on the tune (a bit flat at low to mid revs, maybe over fueling ??) dyno time soon to see where its at

Wow, that's awesome. Didn't see you'd updated the front end. Just shows how fugly the 318Ti front end is.

I got some E34 throwing stars but probably a bit much
