You’re not wrong but after 5 years of ownership i have it down to 5 mins per wheel.

Those wheels look like a bitch to clean

And what search term is that? E46?

Are these genuine E39 M5 wheels?

Quibble, quibble, quibble. You should hop over to the Facebook market place, you’ll have a field day!

Your poor hands and fingers having to go through the ordeal of refining a trademe search!

Proper Brembo calipers, or those stupid covers that slide over the factory ones?

Not long until the tables turn...

Today I Made the bimmer watch me repair the Subaru.

They need to cater for those that don’t.

Hope ya have a mechanical warranty for that one too!

F10 V8 ?

Yep

I think I recall reading about the e31 early dev cars having all the running gear and gadgetry fitted to the e24 body. In terms of the M5, the e12 M535i was the seed because it was the first 5 series sedan to be fitted out with a ‘large’ engine, motorsport orientated suspension and an LSD. Being a new concept at the time it was an obvious success. Sadly I cannot afford a real one ...

Disagree. The e12 M535i was the seed.

@M3_Power any word on availability of tws 10w60?

Bmw hasn’t just lost the plot, as mentioned it’s the stringent emission standards in Europe and other parts of the world.

2-3 nights a week. Been cooking Ketogenic dishes which has worked really well.

I think you can reasonably assume that at that mileage, it’s clapped out and will need alot of TLC&M.

Cars competing in 2kcup are put on the dyno so there’s no point trying to do anything cheeky.

Nicely done Dave. The M rain interior is a definite win imo

Let them fully dry and then lay some clear coat over them, light coats and then a final wet coat. Makes race car scale models look a bit more convincing.

150k Miles ? That's over 240,000km The car in question has done 135,000kms.

Wasn't there an issue with early models in this generation breaking crankshafts? The cog for the timing gear shears off at the front end of the crank?

More like change to keep it maintained..
