    I have seen E60's here for sale with 300,000+ miles.  Petrol though.

    480k+!!!

    My younger brother has an '03 Ford XR8 ute just shy of 400k, he's had it since 160k no major work just decent service and maintenance. He's in Brisbane and says NZ vs Aus 'high' km's are poles apart. He had a 600k+ Land Cruizer (petrol) before the XR8, which one of his workers now has and it's still going strong.

    If proper servicing and maintenance is carried out, I can't see any reason 500 - 600k isn't achievable.

    Aftermarket or M5 swaybars?

    Its a Racing Dynamics front bar 27mm I think and M5 touring (Nuerburing BMW spelling) rear. The rear is manufactured by Eibach and is 20mm.

    Sounds great.

    Do you have a link to your original project thread?

    Thanks, will quiet down once exhaust is refitted.

    I've not done a project thread, but had done:

    Suspension 

    Exhaust

    LSD

    Sway bars

    Lots of minor bits and pieces, bushes, cooling system, cosmetic tidy ups.

    Then its just been a swap over. I'll do a bit of a write up at some point.

  4. As some of you will know my long time project had a bit off an off a year (ish) ago. Immediate action was to buy teh writ off back from insurance.. best $200 ever spent..

    After some thought I bought another E34 540 (NZ new '93 M-Sport, but auto) and have been swapping all the bits over, including swapping teh dove grey interior for my black one carpets and dash included.

    So I now have pretty much what I started with, but with M=Sport body.

    After lots of sweat, swearing and beers I finally had a start on the weekend.... 

    Exhaust, wheels and WOF and I'm back in it..

    Will add some pics once its out of the shed.
