haha

Caustic soda aka oven cleaner.

http://www.bmwwheels.com/ look under the e39 section, they are not cheap tho! nor are they cheap to refurbish if u find a used set in need of TLC (like mine)

Thats good to know!!

yes, but you also have to factor in how the car's been treated.

is the reason why its munted parked next to it in the pic?

Take the Bimmer that's potentially going to be yours to this fella - I took my e39 528i for a pre-check and i was suprised to see they noted one of the rear speakers not working.. now thats a thorough inspection lol

HB Jochen, and thanks again for all your help and excellent advice!

Such a shame.. I read in TBMW mag that the e60 is exceptionally expensive to repair any frontal damage, and it looks like the chassis is well borked considering the front doors are misalligned.

nice buy! being a one owner car u cant go wrong providing the ceo has kept up with the service schedule. At those kms, i'd get the cooling system inspected. The shocks may need to be replaced if not already. Get it to a bmw specialist for a once over when u receive it.

Yup That's a mate of mine - Awesome car!

My OBC shows an avg. consumtion of 12.7 l/100km thats with 98% of time driving from east auckland to central auckland.

most probably the torque convertor going in to lock up mode - do you feel the "fifth change" at motorway speeds?

e34 518i.. absolute poo.

same thing happened to my dad's e34 520i (m50) water pump.

Put it on a diet.

I ate magi 2min noodles for lunch at work with flavoured tuna for 4 months straight. would only eat 2min noodles if stranded on an island with no food. yuck.

I dont think for the money you will spend on modding the intake/exhaust/ecu you will appreciate the gains (if any) compared to modding a turbo japper in the same way. These cars are pretty much as good as they can get out of the box.. unless you wanna get a supercharger kit $ $ If you want to open the v8 sound up a bit just pop in to a pit stop or any exhaust shop really and they should be able to help.

Really boils your blood doesn't it. Especially after you've spent all day cleaning it.

Have considered the Shnitzel front lip but much like a schnitzel it well get beaten as the front bumper is already quite low. Thinking about an m5 front bumper

Yup i did, that was a 528i. I traded it in and kept the wheels.

yup, and now complete with a nice key scratch going across the whole boot thanks to some worthless sh1t c#nt!

Yeah they were, theres a few 535 and 540's about with the style 5's. These are only the 17' models, The 18's look alot better on such a big car but are from what i was told, they are more prone to warping.
