My theory is the 'doof doof' setup in the boot probably broke it...

Can we test the e31's towing capabilities?

Received the Evolve-r cable and software today. Should have the new tune on this week.

Spotted my donor vehicle for an e39 m5 Touring. Already stanced too!

The pseudo club?

Give them the last 7 digits of your vin - Surely BMW staff can identify the correct part...

A soarer with a BMW engine this time?

Great cars! The presenter lacked in execution though. Sideways action!?

Get a room you two :-P Manuals are FAR superior because EVERY ROAD is a race track... The Alpina is a beauty - Hope it goes to a good home.

Anyone ever come across a shop that actually follows bmw recommendations for wheel alignment? I.e full tank of gas weights in both front and rear seats? Pretty sure this recommendation is not ltd. To just bmw.

Does this affect the 4 cyl models too? I've only seen this issue on the 6cyl models.

http://www.pandsauto.co.nz/ They did my wheel alignment to spec, and also participate in the E30 race series. Excellent job!

Nice colour - Hope you get a good run out of it!

M5 touring my dream project. Looking forward to this...

As mentioned in another thread - Will be getting a tune done through Evolve Automotive in the UK soon. Just a simple power tune for now. Will be running the Alpha-N tune at a later stage.

That won't be 388BHP at the wheels, it will be a calculated result for power at the crank. Evolve seem to measure power this way on their dynos.

Why would you want to steal a Mazda Pregnancy!?!

Cheers, that looks like a local number to me too, will give em a call.

Want to get an agreed insurance value on the M5 but need a valuation done. Can anyone recommend a good company in akl for this?

Bugger! I just bought a 93 impreza wagon as a run about. Would've bought it in a heart beat for 1k and spent the rest of my budget fixing it up.

Though your comments are valid, it's like saying your new internal combustion engine car is more detached than the horse that used to pull the old one. There are still many people out there who prefer the likes of a manual transmission, and no magic buttons that adjust the suspension and steering response when it comes to a performance car.

Spent 9 or so mins in an F10 M5 at the Nordeschleif in October 2012 - far from boring!! :-)

Hi Velocity will be back in action in around 3 weeks according to a reliable source...

There may also be more serious problems lurking within this M5. We only started the engine, rev'd it lightly, heard the clak clak clak and ran away from it. If just the rod bearings need replacing, then 15k is a fair price imo. if it were me buying it, i'd take the engine out, do the rod bearings, chain guides, vanos seals, clutch gaskets etc and the motor will be good for another 200k.

Would a warranty cover conrod bearings, which are technically a wear and tear item though...
