  1. Hi Guys, this is my M5. I've owned a long list of mainly E34's but this is the best one, even the original floor mats are still secured with unbroken plastic lugs.

    It is essentially a 1 onr from new, the original onr purchased it brand new in HK & bought it here in 1995. He sadly passed away and the president of the BMW club appraised it & passed it on to the dealer principal at Claytons & he sold it it to me.

    Anything else of interest about the car??

    With regards the movie Ronin, the car used was a manual 525i(M50 engine). Listen to the exhaust tone as it slides around,deep M50 tone & it has the std white needle dash.

    Mr E34.

    edit: forgot to add it came with the original turbines & throwing stars(personally not fond of either)

  2. hi there boris , long time no see :)

    Hi Brent, been a while,did call into the club stand at Ellerslie earlier this year & saw a few chaps.

    Trust all is going well in your BMW parts centre.

    I've been preoccupied over here or my other interests, that's what happens as the years tick(rush) by!


  3. Keep the sun out Boris, we are heading over next week for a couple of months

    Summer has been very late/unstable this year Milan,lots of rain here with severe lightning/thunderstorms(short lived though)

    Drastic improvement now, it will reduce the grape & olive oil production I would think.

    I'm driving a very high performance sports sedan over here, you guys wouldn't be able to handle it...(captain slow)


  4. Yes checked out the big area where the Twin Towers stood, massive area...much bigger area than i imagined.There is a memorial in the church next door & another centre dedicated to the upcoming redevelopment etc.

    Flatiron is a good way to utilise that triangular plot, Central Park is stunning..i think its 300 acres in the middle of Manhatten.(Have too many pix to reduce & put up here.)

    The daughter said the hurricane didn't have any effect on central Manhatten.(we had already left for Europe)

    Any preconceptions you have of America i don't think fits with NYC, trouble is you need lots of money to stay there. :unsure: :unsure:

    Really it is something to see, a beautiful island!


  5. Just a few shots of Manhatten, the ultimate super city for vertical living.

    If you have an interest in beautiful architecture built from stone etc this is the place.

    'I used to live in a jungle, now i live in New York'.....classic saying 100% spot on.

  6. Pair of OEM Manufactured German engine mounts for E34 540i or 530i, i understand the same mounts are used in the E31/E32 vehicles fitted with M60/M62.

    Clearing out all my unused/new stuff.

    Thanks MR E34.


  7. Thats really nice Glenn,if you want to go to more trouble the next step up is to burn down dry Teatree & cook your chooks above the coals on a small rotissere,you have to keep burning more wood down(seperate area) & keep adding more hot charcoal over time.

    We only cook on dry Teatree now.(you can use any good wood also,dry grape/apple or similar)

    SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD.


  9. 490Nm and 190.6kw at the wheels.

    Thats close to 260hp@ wheels Brent,cant complain about that.490nm approx.. all the reports on the M62 being tuned for torque is correct,over 100nm per ltr is a good sign.

    Much better pwr/tqr than old thrashed/highly strung M pwr engines, notice chaps overseas putting the S62 crank + bits in your M62 engine.

    (straight 6 has good character though)


  10. That 840ci has everything you need....a powerful engine(ok,could do with another 300hp)proper manual box,rear wheel drive with staggered alloys,black leather interior(nice to see the early Tri-colour stripes & no dopey M on leather knob)M goodies, stunning condition/low mileage.

    BMW's of this calibre/era are always sort after by the discerning buyer,top car SS.
