Front discs, pads and wear sensor all replaced.

Probably, but it doesn't look like the water got high enough to reach the inlet tracts for the engine.

The comfort seats are really really, well, comfortable. Great for long trips vs the sport seats in the standard M spec e39's.

Could have a thing for e39's ?

Had a re-occuring fault code to do with the e-box fan which is a small electric fan that draws in air from the outside and in to the box where the DME lives. With a pretty intense summer this year I though it'd be a good idea to replace it. I tried activating the old one in DIS but I could not hear it running. Did the same one with the new one in place and it hummed away nicely. Nothing broken during the process and all back together now. Next job, front discs, pads and wear sensor.

Why not try a CSL remap on the Engine and SMG ?

Weirdly spec'd Deleted rear A/C but it's a tropical version... http://www.etk.cc/bmw/EN/vin/decoder/DA60021/EN/

Is the interesting opportunity my M5?

switch to 5w 30

Can vouch for it not being slow.

Using a trans on borrowed time that you intend in swapping out is at least good practice for doing the job! The guibo's in auto cars tend to last longer than manual cars. If it's not cracked at all i'd say leave it.

Changing from 1st to 2nd quickly and correcting the over steer.

Yup, had the exact same thing happen to me coming home from the Corromandel over New Years. Was on the Dual carriage way.

Quentin Tarantino and his taxi... 2016 7 series.

Got a repeating dtc for the bank 2 exhaust cam sensor. Swapped it out for a spare I had from my other M5. Never had any errors on the spare sensors but it's probably on borrowed time. Car was running like a bag of d1cks when the dtc showed up. Hopefully a quick fix. Next up is front discs and pads, the twilight track day didn't help but they were already nearing the end of their life. Will post up some pics when I do the job.

Bump. Will let it go for 24.5k to bimmersporters.

Got a decent one s/h My other M5 has no bubbling whuch is strange... Defect from factory affecting some?

Statistics stack up the most probable cause for all cases reviewed when it comes to all these road tolls. Look at countries stats where alcs is banned for national road tolls?

After having a few low ballers and time wasters during the sale process of my first M5 I decided to make a few improvements to improve the appearance for any new interested buyers. Wet sanded, polished and waxed the headlights. Pretty straight forward.. 600,800,1000,1200,1500,2000 grits followed by some Meguiars full strength cut compound and a final coat of Mothers caranuba wax. Pics don't quite do it justice but you get the idea. Before : After : Next up was to replace an exterior door trim piece that had suffered some corrosion.. chemical reaction I believe as this part is made of aluminium. Old : New : Finally I completed the trunk tool kit with the missing tools :

Who needs Ron in here?

too many factors which make up 'tyre wear' A good starting point is suspension geometry. Yes you're going to pay through the nose for good tyres but these will also out perform mediocre tyres in various aspects as judged by the motoring journalists who go through the hassle of testing them. just don't put land sails on the M3. Please.

Discount tyres can get pss in. I paid 650 for each rear in 275/35/18 size. Managed to find a front set in 245/40/18 new off tm for 600 so keep your eyes peeled.

I run Invo's on one M5, and PSS on the other. The Invo's have much worse wet weather grip then the Michelin's
