I paid like $100(no more) for a M50 delived from Auckland to my door last year..just to give u an idea of shipping

My e39 540i beat a manual legnum vr4 from a stop 3 times in a row. Approx 1 car length ahead, just to give u an idea. Passing on the open road is amazing haha. Best to drive one, if u drive nicely theyre not too bad to run. I spend and extra 20-30 tops on petrol than I used to in my e39 528. only ford/holden ive played with is a new xr6 turbo and i didnt stand a chance lol he started pulling away rapidly

Makitas in the meantime bounce bounce

Buy a E39 then..

bridgestone Adrenalines have my vote I've got RE001's on the E39 540i and the E30 325i..never lost grip on me unless i've caused it on purpose.. wet grip seems to be pretty good also

This should keep _Matt_ happy..finally a E28 thread haha

$73 V-power..Filled from half a tank... got 300kms 96 4.4 540i..good mix of open road and town

oooohhhh who??

sh*t That looks awesome with those wheels Andrew!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOUUUUU, sorry, I want these so badly, a set always comes up when I have no monies oi antil33t/michael.. you have the kit now get these wheels!!! beg borrow steal etc etc..keep the e30 parts-a-thon running

location...photo's..?

it gets driven like its ment to from what ive seen lol its not a grocery grabber.

i like that alot to be honest!

yeah in CHCH But thanks heaps for the offer Glenn! even though I can't take you up on it I do appreciate the thought

Dont look like any BMW 4 stud BBS wheels i've ever seen lol..someones just stuck a BMW roundel on and told him theyre BMW BBS when he brought them/the car id say... could be wrong tho... pretty sure im not LOL

cars a 96 540i with the 4.4 V8 On really hot days it drives perfectly then dies randomy. twice coming to a stop, once driving at low revs, no spluttering, just quietly dies, I think it may be a loose wire/plug/sensor due to it only happening when it gets really warm weather wise.. the wires get a chance to move more.. where would I look to check? Any other ideas or common issues to do with it? Idle sits on the idle line on the tach, looks to be 500ish RPM, would raising it temporarily help stop this at all.. just xmas is a hard enough time of the year without paying for the car to be fixed lol It will be going in for a scan due to it having a mechanical warranty, meaning im not able to mess around with it myself, so please dont tell me to scan it.. ill be doing it soon lol Thanks Andrew

that SR should be a S14 silva bud.. you got told

yeah I heard about Jasons E36..such as shame.. I also heard he has a new toy..thats for him to tell everyone/ show off tho!

start with anything electrical you last did on the car..usually head units lol

Is it not worth re shelling these into the likes of a 328 coupe? Low resale on them compared to parts value?

I only skim read it because its gonna be a big CAR vs Bike, Cyclists arent perfect either.. and unfortunately cyclists may go on and think they have the same rights..(should start paying rego tbh stir the pot some more i joke i joke) but you've got to ride with the mentality that it's 1 ton car vs 80kg little old you. I Used to bike to school.. I know where cyclists come from! I saw many kids knocked off bikes etc! but to be safe its easier to just watch yourself and assume people havent seen you etc.. would rather be like that, than all proud as f**k hitting peoples cars to wind them up more, I have the same rights as you motorists so respect me, the people that get in a cyclists way just dont give a sh*t so it's upto the cyclist to watch his own ass rather than rely on a dickhead with sh*t for brains there is ALWAYS the cases where you can be as careful as you want and some muppet still hits you... and it sucks but this is the world we live in..everyman for himself as a cyclist. EDIT: and before anyone has a whinge and says i'm not being sympathetic or thats stupid etc i'm only offering another view. not saying dickheads hitting cyclists is right at all!

pssh after reading this thread I want is big LCD, PS3 and GT5 with wheel and pedlas..f**k the lot of ya's! haha

I find my 540i fine to run, never cost me more than $100 to run per week... usually about $80.. cant expect brilliance from a big heavy car with a 4.4 V8 in it

OMG resize,

Nathans ideas even better..listen to him
