Toast

So I bought a new car and there's the possibility (not holding my breath) it's got Schrick or similar cams. Is there anyone who has the knowledge / time / tools to measure the duration of the cam once I've pulled the valve cover off (assuming it looks different from factory)? Is there anyone out there with specific knowledge of German tuning companies from the 90's? Either that or I need a translator, German forums are hard to decipher

Number plate would be a great place to start. If you can't even remember that, just pickup another in the same colour haha

Getrag or ZF?

What a stunner, definitely one of the best colours. If I hadn't just bought one!

Mods can you move this to the right place. Thanks

After the title, also how much am I looking at paying from a scrapper? Have some bits, two sets of fog blanks, full m3 exhaust. Could look at swapping things.

@Ron can't remember but did you keep the m52 intake manifold, I seem to remember you being a firm supporter. If so, got any dyno or at the very least butt dyno numbers?

Why don't they look original? Are you meaning they've been put on later on or that they're fakes? I think they're the real deal but have been wrong if that's what you're meaning

Have no affiliation but this examples super clean: http://www.trademe.co.nz/923651183

thanks for the heads up

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-923651183.htm Looks to be in very good condition, topped off with a set of Style 5s that look practically new

Edit, they're 7.5" not 7" wide.

I know this is gonna be tough to ask, but does anyone know where I can find a pair of rear staggered M Contours? Looking for two 8.5 inch rears. If you know of anyone with something just lying around please let me know. Willing to spend up to $500 for something in good condition, not looking for tyres. Can also swap with a pair of 7" with cash their way if that's more incentive.

Factory m50 gasket between the head and headers, there's some improvement to be had by port matching but I didnt and it's only a daily driver so don't mind

Have M3 headers on my 325i E36, the M50B25tu to be exact. Actually crazy how much they change the engine, they're pricey but nothing good is cheap.

Have a set of e39cb - e36cb spacers that are 25mm thick. Would go well with the wheels

Pm'd

What is it? A naked S85B50?

neck and neck, voted

Was more interested in the inner workings once I got home and stupidly realized how different e36 headunits are :banghead: Meh car's stripped out now so no need for any of that fancy hifi nonsense, that doesn't make you go faster

Yeah I checked but mobile doesn't give you anything

Location? $75 pickup assuming Auckland?

$20 and you can have your old one back with the addition of a aux in

Interesting cause from what I've read about the E34 M5 that's pretty much the opposite of what happened in North America. No 535is where sold or offered because the dealerships thought they would pull sales from people who would otherwise buy a M5. Sorry to threadjack, beautiful car, would love to have a 6speed v8 one-day
