Ripples or finger prints in between the sheets of glass ;-D

Did they fit genuine screens? In typical bmw fashion the alignment of the e39 screen on to the roof panel determines how much wind noise you get.

Go on Mike, post up a clip.

Hands down coolest feature of the Soarer is the water drop remover on the side mirrors!

Looks more Yanky then German.

How it's done. Enjoy.

I love anti lag.

Yeah alusil is tricky to work with. Are you getting sleeves in the bores.

The proper bosch one ex o'seas is not all that expensive. I too tried the vw maf and thought job done. Got the correct maf and got the 540i low end torque back.

Had a weak moment and ordered a pair of Eisenmann race back boxes. End result should be something like this :

Got 2x Magnaflow 59929 200cell cats (same as stock flow) welded in this morning in place of the staight pipes. No more nasty smells. Next on the Agenda is fuel injector flow testing and cleaning with new O-rings and basket filters :

Handling by Makita.

Watch out for rust around the jacking points on uk examples. Evolve automotive have a lot of experience with the e39 m5. They're in Luton, Bedfordshire.

Haha. Nah pommy lady voice.

Got my cluster back with all pixels working properly : MK4 Nav unit software updated to latest V32 version : The 16:9 widescreen monitor had an intermittent problem with buttons not working. Now sorted as of this morning. Pulled it apart and found the optical rotary encoder module was loose. Removed it, re-seated the contact plate and re-installed : Got a 2013 version map. Fully working GPS! Yay.

The 'cooling mod' is suited to the US spec cars which don't have the Euro 2 piece type floating rotors which have better cooling ability. US spec rotors : Euro spec rotors : I think on the Ring, stock brakes in good nick will be ok for a couple of enthusiastic laps. BBK would be mandatory if you're planning on visiting Hockenheim or any tracks over here in NZ.

Sounds amazing!

Mk4 GPS unit from an e46 ex UK. Bye bye Mk2 the dinosaur.

The car that the LS400 aspired to be... shots fired. :-P

If you're up in Auckland any time soon, I have INPA and DIS v44 on a laptop that i can help you reset the sensor with.

I received a new LCD panel and ribbon when I bought the M5. Am a keen diy'er but a bit too risky given the rare availablity of the M5 cluster.

It packs it with about 1/2 km of bubble wrap in to a box, and then it sends it to Chch to have a new LCD and ribbon cable installed.

Got fed up of looking at this...
