Black leather MS front seats?? cheers Matt

Can anyone confirm the bolt heads are T60 Torx heads? and, does anyone know how deep they are into the flywheel? I can get a T60 and grind it to fit the off-set, but it only has a shaft of approx 50mm. cheers Matt

Hi everyone, Am about to replace my flywheel and clutch set up. Does anyone happen to have a V8 fly wheel removal tool that they want to sell, hire or loan? cheers Matt

Listed on Tardeme. cheers Matt Trademe Link

My pick 540 manual, you can make anything go round corners well with a decent suspension setup. I've averaged 12.1L/100km combined driving since I've owned mine, mostly open road but there's a whole bunch of corners what ever way I go from home. V8, manual, rear wheel drive.... the 5 series may not be the sports car the 330i is but it has a nice sound track with your foot in it up to the knee!

Thanks guys will resize and upload some photos. Daz, I'd rather sell together as I've downsized to ACS 17"s so tyres are no use to me. I'm in Whangamata so pretty much everyone's out of town - though I'm in Taupo every week and usually up to Auckland every two weeks or so. I'll pass on the 20"s thanks Brent bit to gangster for me... can't imagine they'd do much for the handling. cheers Matt

Hi, These are on an E34, 72.5mm center bore and will have fairly low ET (will confirm what they are if your interested). Cheers Matt

Would you be interested in swapping the AC's (plus cash or tires) for a set of ///M Parallel style 37, 18" staggered 8" fronts and either 9" or 9.5" rears with Bridgestone Pontenza's all with about 2/3 tread left?

I just bought this with 6 speed conversion. Very tight car, well looked after.

SOLD.

Good luck with the house can't go wrong.. best thing we ever did. Be sad to part with the M3 though, am tempted myself but would need to sell the 540. cheers matt

Haha... not since i was a kid, am in the installation end - primarily retail outlets so deal with the guys who design / install fuel systems etc, or more simply I build service stations. cheers Matt

Hi Grant, I don't believe there is any weight in the claims of non-compatability as the damage to Jap engines was due to corrosion (in a Japanese trail), the Gull mix has corrosion inhibiters in the mix. Ethanol blend fuels have been around for a while overseas notibly Australia, US, Canada and most of Europe I've not heard anything to support the claims made today. I work in the Petroleum Industry so am only repeating what I've heard, all the oil companies have been doing work in this area. Gull has links to oil industry big players so may well be rolling out first as lead to "big brand" roll outs. If in doubt I'd call BMW or Gull cheers Matt cheers Matt

Hi Ollie, Good to see you on the boards. On the money Grant done deal last week. cheers Matt
