Those cut rear mounts are like shock absorbers they are rated to take out some of a rear end impact 4 to 8 k i believe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1055583322 these are a pair I had for sale from a sedan.

So you had no rear bumper protection with those absorbers cut like that?.

Google it their are heaps of info on them.

Hi Russell a bit of a long shot how many leads do you have coming off the positive terminal of the battery or close to it? as some have a safety fuseable battery link some were in that cable.

Not a straight swap I believe the e39 has an odd hub dia of 74.1mm while the e46 has 72.56mm if correct you will need hub spacer. Also check the wheel off set as the 5ers seem to be a low off set while the 3s are higher. Google it their will be heaps of info on it

That's great to hear you must have a long tick list by now

Hat off to you Sir on this one you have stuck with it through all it could throw at you. Hence don't mean to be a joy germ did you bother to have a look inside that vacuum pump they are well known for filling with oil then sending it through out the whole vacuum net work big mess.

They perform well even with the 2.5 ltr in them as well not to heavy on the pocket as far as gas goes.

Try and find the sport model look heaps better than the standard ones. Ti M 325 http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/42594-project-tim/ .

If you can run the vin number and decode it to see what options it has most of the 325ti should be well kitted. If you can find a M sport one look heaps better than the standard. That is a gift at that price would have though double that.

Hi Russell my experience with this on the 530 was two problems. First the final stage heater control unit was on its last legs this not only gave weird heater control situations as well as a flat battery over a few days. The second was the battery it's self, gen BMW about 8 yrs old it was after it had been charged fully and then load tested this showed it lost the ability to retain a charge of sufficient umff and after a couple of days was flat again. In my case once the FSU had been replaced I took the risk and tried it with the then unknown weak battery but with in a couple of days back came the flat battery problem. So after the battery was replaced all was good no more starting problems best of luck be interested to know what you come up with.

A Dealer last one I bought was around $20. If genuine and you can remember the number it has stamped on it all good. If not you will some how have to either get one of your lock nuts off or get the samples from the dealer to check which is the correct one for your car best of luck.

See it sold wonder who is the new owner
