Lowered the front of the car another 20mm ish, quite like the way it looks with a bit of rake, and the bumper isn't particularly low anyways. Quite happy with the ride heights now, so will probably get it carted for this height.

Have been forging ahead with the e39. Has its first new warrant and rego since 2014! Was failed second time round on the broken inner mirror surround, so temp fixed that with some expanding foam and a layer of epoxy, and a rear arm outer Spherical bush. So replaced both left and right arms and now good to go. following day had it booked for a detail and now have it looking brand new…ish. Paint was all dull and stained, but that’s all gone, but now can notice all the deep chips and scratches. So will get some touch up paint and try tidy them up a bit. Next issue Issue to sort last night was no lower cluster lights around the lcd display. Gauges are all lit but not there. So pulled it out to replace the lamps but tested them first and all working, so had a google and everything I found was for the while dash, not just that bit so back to square one. Also tried the “piezo trick” to fix the missing pixels. Managed to get one line working but then it killed the whole display. But a power cycle fixed that and my fixed line wasn’t going again. So need to replace the ribbon, or the whole cluster to sort the lighting issue as well. oh, also started wrapping the wood trim with a brushed alloy. Not sure if I’m sold on it or not.

Offer him 30-35k, if he declines he doesn't actually want to sell or is too greedy.

Sold for ~$29K incl. buyer's premium in late November. Now $45K.... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m5/listing/4033622610

Ditto.

I've ordered from Spareto MANY times and never had card issues, so probably coincidental

Fiiiiiiiiiinnally

I had a dream last night that someone on Bimmersport was selling me their supercharged Z3M Coupe for $11,000. Was rather bitter after I woke up and realised that certainly isn't happening. 🤣
