Have 6 wheels and tyres up for grabs. A full set of wheels like in the first pic, 2 of the wheels have wof ok tyres and 2 have camber wear. I have another 2 bottle cap style wheels with wof ok tyres. I need to keep 1 of the wheels as a spare so any 5 are available picked up in Herne Bay for $50. All tyres are 205/50/15 size.

They're more a 4 seater sedan. Another one up on tm. An ex forum members car. Nice in Anthracite.

A lot of performance European and American cars sold in Japan are LHD.

For the coin if i was in the market and given it appears to be an enthusiast owner i'd expect a preventive maintenance history vs an as needed maintenance history.

I've not seen the 550i headers but they may be a choking point. A remap in conjunction with well designed headers will probably make a noticeable difference. Then again so would just upgrading to the v10

Had a similar issue in my e36. After about 20 mins of running weird sh*t like you describe started happening. Turned the car off, went to restart, no joy new battery was dead. Recharged the batt and checked the battery terminals after a quick 10 min drive and they were getting less than 12volts, Getting just under 14volts when car is first started however. New (to the car) alternator installed and I get just over 14volts at the terminals even after a long drive.

Water, brush, mf towels and lots of patience ?

Awesome car! When you sell though, good luck living in an e39 M5

If it's mechanically above average, then absolutely.

That's awfully healthy. Isn't a good stock b28 140ish kw at the flywheel?

I think it was 20k Went and had a nosey at it a couple of weeks ago at their yard. Paint looks nice, boot doesn't close (broken spring in the latch) Interior has had a quick touch up to hide the wear. Wheels repainted and the bank 2 vanos unit has been replaced. Didn't drive it but assuming it's ok a wee bit of tlc would turn this in to a minter.

Oops. Oh well, even monkeys fall from trees.

Truck wash. Was a waste of time, didn't move the caked on oil much.

They're red because we all know it's a scientifically proven fact that this colour is the fastest. Probably why the waterpump died because the pulleys spin faster than they're supposed to? Will see how things go after a new waterpump, luckily they're the same between M50 and M52 so when we eventually get an M52b25 engine we can swap it over.

Needed a few things for a wof. -inner tie rod ball joint -front brake hoses -front tyres So after getting all that work done, getting a wof and an alignment it overheated on the way home. It cooked for about 20mins all the way home. Couldn't find any obvious leaks aside from the radiator cap. I bled the cooling system about 7 times using all the techniques posted on various forums. No joy, but this evening I learned that the waterpump wasn't new. The joys of $400 e36 cars.. Wof'd Wheel Alignment The reward at the end of an early Saturday morning The reason

4G93 was the baby brother to the 4G63. Liked to throw a leg out with above 'mild' tuning. The 4g92 was the NA Honda B16a rival, the B16a which was released in 89' had an output of 99hp/litre. (Sorry Ron)

There are plenty of inherently flawed designs in the automotive industry Ronald. No one really gives a sh*t about one which only affects cold-start emissions. If this issue did affect the engine in terms of engine performance then it would be a different story.
