hi i have never heard of machining rotors wrong making a grinding noise u should check any metal clips or squeal shims to see if there touching the rotor.

have u checked ur rear pads???

i was just replacing my brake pads on the front of my e34 when i noticed the hose was spit on the one side

i thought to myself what a good excuse to get some braded ones made up i went to see the guys at poirua brake and clutch. I spoke to a guy called keith who said he would make them up for me and that they come certed so no hasstles on getting a cert once fitted. I got them for a tidy sum of $70.00 a side i thought it was a good price and they made a real nice job. Anyone thinking of upgrading to braided hoses in the wellington area go see keith top job.

il get some pics up soon

i give up my time and go on call for work and have the ute saves me a weeks worth of gas

oh and avoid taking the missis shopping lol

anyone out there got a set of 17s tyres or no tyres cheap that will fit my e34?

This is where the Welly meets are organised. They come around every month or so. Maybe fortnightly.

I'm super keen too to watch and learn as much as poss but it doesn't really seem to happen. Always just beers and drives.

would be good to get a bunch together to help each other out on our rides and share some info are u from the wellington area??

i had anfd put jamex in my e34 535i's that i had , but had the bilstein shocks ringed so that the spring could sit lower , but yes , chewed out my rear tires on the inside .

i have a e34 525 manual im tidying up for a club car/dialy driver been into bms for a while would be sweet to here form some bimmersport members.

haha i was thinking of pouring concrete in the boot.

they been in now for three or four weeks i was thinking of getting a spare set of rear shocks and getting a set of springs commpressed or maybe having shortend shocks made up having the springs commpressed more but not sure if thats the thing to do?? guess il wait for a bit like u say they might settle.

also im running some sh*t as rims 15ich haha need a nice clean set of 17s if any one has a cheap set kicking around tyres or no tyres.

a mate told me i should leave it as it may settle down it just looks shat lol i have a few mates back in the uk i might ask about some coilovers might do a bulk buy if anyone is interested in buying a set for a e34 only

Wrecking an E34 535 BMW. Just ask for a part & ill see what I can do. Auto trans will be up for grabs at some stage as i'm currently doing a manual conversion on my other 535!
