  1. He's having a real bad time right now..... http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/cats/cats-to-buy/auction-856339388.htm ... cut him some slack
  2. Doesn't your tool have the strengthening ribs on the wrong side? My tool looks like this (Franklin TA331): So the flat surface sits against the carrier and the arm pushes pretty square on the ball joint bolt. I cranked this thing up, and it made the arm let go with a real bang! It threw the tool down, and chipped the concrete! Of course mine is a 6 cylinder, so maybe slightly different. (HAHA! He said tool etc...)
  3. The brand new E39 ones I have does, If that helps.

    Quick rant thread.

    People who keep taking my freakin stapler!
  6. The taiwanese cheapo ones on trademe are way better than the BMW ones ever were!
  7. There's S704A too: M sports suspension - I don't know what the difference is, but our E39 is 704 rather than 705. It was really low, and I actually raised it about 20mm, with 10mm spacers in the strut mounts when I rebuild the suspension, so now it's normal low, instead of annoying low: The new Sachs shocks for the sport suspension are SUBSTANTIALLY more expensive than standard ones FYI
  8. There is a place that does rebuild kits, in aluminium. Uncle Google knows them. I can't remember the names at all. They aren't cheap, and you don't get a new diaphragm. Repalcement is easier, and it''ll probably last at least as long as the original.

    Would you beleive it's only the NZ new ones, because the lights don't have the correct veiwing angles to comply, so they are disabled..... but imports are OK to NOT comply??? That's what I heard, and it might be true.
  10. Hey Kelvinator ... stalking you on another one now... saw your "pivot thing" for "earthing your raizins"
  11. You can make a 350i and an 818i ?
  12. Mine is NFS SE... not II... :-( Between us, we probably have every version though!

    Quick rant thread.

    Or the ones with park lights on.... They've thought about it........ but not enough to put on anything bright enough for other to see OR make a difference to their vision... Maybe they're too dim (the drivers I mean... I know the lights are!)
  14. There are E39's on the UK forum with that... that are still on the road! leaking door vapour barriers and rotted sills will do that too! Yours probably won't look anywhere near that bad!
  15. Those photos... what are these people thinking? May as well be blank!
  16. I *might* have a copy sitting on my office desk at home..... will look for you :-)
  17. They can always put it up to what it was before... would that make you happier???
  18. Also open trade account with favourite tyre distributor

  20. Good to know the new owner won't have to buy any extra ones then Nice ad though. Should be popular as a manual - the autos really aren't the same! Good luck!
  21. Just had a second look... I'd rather the bus (wheel arch flares and side exit exhaust - awesomeness!)
