  1. The alternator in my old 540i which now belongs to a mate is getting a bit noisy. Anyone know an outfit in Auckland that could do a service on it? This is the water-cooled unit so will need the seal, and probably a good idea to replace the regulator also.
  2. A mate of mine had an e30 325is ex SA. 2.7 litre parts bin special comprised of Alpina engine parts, M3 suspension and Aluminium Doors and bonnet. An absolute hoot to drive, combined with sharp handling. I wouldn't knock SA perfomance models.
  3. That's not the rust people here are referring to. E39's usually bubble up in that area below the filler neck..
  4. Your turn this time Jooles getting the lower 12 inlet mani nuts in
  5. Beautiful engineering on the m70. The assembly of extensions and a uj on a ratchet get to those manifold nuts pretty easily.
  6. Love the wheels. Really needs the s62 though... Are there any s62 Z8's in NZ?
  7. Looks like NZ post deem a car airbag as a dangerous item..which is fair enough. Any one know of any other shipping companies which would handle a steering wheel complete with airbag?
  8. These may be of interest... adjustable rear control arms... or give you some inspiration to make some. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e39-m5-e52-z8-discussion/431490-finally-custom-rear-control-arms-e39.html
  9. I spy an e39 rear subframe used in your amazing build. Can't wait to see more progress pics.
  10. looked like it has an aftermarket suspension setup the way it gets around those corners, or maybe the M4 suspension is just that stiff in it's 'race track' setting? Squealing brakes and good grip suggest it's also had those areas addressed too. All in all a great clip though!
  11. The day has come.
  12. The M5 maf housings are slightly smaller than the 540i ones. The actual M5 MAF sensor itself I think fits in the 540i maf housing though. I've got a good working one for an E39 540i in my garage i think - i'll check and come back to you.

  14. An e39 m5 touring to complement?
  15. I ended up watching all his engine building clips on youtube - He goes through the fundamentals pretty well. Pitty it's dinosaur technology though.
