Did the same swap, Brett at BMW World sorted me out for a manual front half. If you go private check the front coupling size - the getrags are smaller, ZFs larger.

needed to read this 6 months ago. Have just installed B6 + H&R spings (~30mm drop) on my 1984 635 and dont recommend - nice height but the B6s are too long. The rear springs are in the middle setting and have a smidge of useful travel but the fronts are pretty much on the bumpstops. Definitely saving for B8s now, but also going to do a LOT more homework first. @Eagle Your thoughts on standard B8 stiffness/ where did you get them revalved and to what sort of setting?? Agree on aiming for a sport package - I was shooting for ballpark to my old M-Sport E36 ride with the B6's, but they feel somewhere in between that and standard (to me .

E39 Touring Subframe bush removal tool
sdotmac replied to sdotmac's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Brilliant - thanks Allan. I'd completely failed to find the bodge options in my search online. As a proud bodger this shames me greatly. -
Hi - Does anyone have an E39 Touring subframe-bush removal tool I can rent for cash/beers? My 1997 E39 rear subframe bushes are shot and the nice BMW man suggests it'll be around $1500 bucks to sort. I'm comfy with the DIY and from what I can make out the interweb can supply Lemforder replacements for a lot less than the $275+ per corner quoted. Also - looks like a simple job (like all eventual 8 week repair odyssey's) - has anyone done this & are there any gotcha's? Cheers, Shane PS- - first time posting - found then lost a tools thread. Please move this post/put me straight as necessary!
