  1. That's a HARD hit! Wonder what speed would do that??
  2. Don't forget guys, all modern cars use crappy recyclable plastics. They go hard and brittle with age. They also run the engine temp hotter for emmisions/fuel economy so cooling system is under a lot more pressure.

    Here is Alpina Aust with their real world dyno results. People, you will be astounded at how little some older( & newer) cars are putting down to the rear wheels! http://www.alpinaaustralia.com.au/dyno/dyno_main.htm

    Timing advance

    I think from memory my stock M30 accepted 6-7 deg advance(top end rpm) running BP 98. We bolted on a knock sensor to monitor, anyway thats what we did.
  5. Anyone looking for ultra low miles M3? Pricey! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/333822.htm
  6. Real Estate makes money, cars don't. Buy the house!
  7. Nah thats o.k.I am only an average driver and still can't handle the M30 power properly! I wouldn't race a good car like that on the track. They reckon the 3.8 is not very rugged compared to the 3.6, anyone know why???
  8. If you can't register it, you can't insure it, what happens if you run into another car on the road. You want a good car that you can sell/trade if you want etc.
  9. Check out the cars on Pistonheads, good reviews/news etc.
  10. Yeah but my Soprano days are behind me.(nickname Paulie) Makes it difficult to sell/value etc.
  11. Nice low miles E34 M5, pity you can't bring in what you like anymore! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/332499.htm
  12. Alpina gives you the ultimate exclusive BMW!
  13. B10 4.6 is not the same as above turbo in case some people don't know Alpina history. Sorry for confusion.
  14. How about a B10 4,6 Killer punch E34, one of the best cars Alpina developed. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/292377.htm
  15. My other fav car Alpina B6s. http://www.mcpmotorsport.co.uk/CurrentStock/SOR/sor3.asp
  16. Alpina E34 B10. http://www.bmwcarclubgb.co.uk/rm/adverts.asp?section=Alpina
  17. Yeah i remember when they released the Fiat coupe, BMW snapped him up immediately.I think when you look back in another 10yrs alot of his FASHION ideas will look stupid, I agree with you on the Z4,looks good.
  18. Yeah would be good doing high speed Autobahn runs. Once you have the weighty E34 on the move 3rd hits the limiter with ease and 4th pulls pulls strongly till red line, strong torque above 2500 gives a good punch.
  19. Head of design Bangle must go! Maybe he was a merc plant????
  20. Hard to pin down price, most guys upgrade to E34 540i.I think Ray paid 16-17 for his 540is, low k's etc, still a fantastic set of wheels. I think your 6k guess would be a low mates rate price but who knows?? Get a few opinions or just test the market and see how many nibbles you get. Still a great high speed tourer, when BMW designed the E34 shell they paid special attention to using large panels rather than tacking smaller sections together.
  21. Creaver if this car comes up, buy it. You can't go wrong buying a well looked after car.
  22. Fantastic engine/mechanicals etc but the clothes it wears? If you look at most new BMW's they seem to all have sharp intersecting lines (headlights etc), slightly distorted kidney grille, the STYLE mode/theme encompasses different themes from front to back.
