Hello people, I'm from The Bay of Plenty, Whakatane area.
I recently aquired an E34 535i 1995 model DiamantSchwarz-Metallic (Black). This is my very first BMW and have owned her for over a week now and she is a very nice car to drive. I would like to tidy her up and make her look nicer but not too over the top.
Things started off when I owned a '90 Mitsi L200 Double Cab 2wd, and a friend wanted my ute to swap with a '90 VN V8 Calais, now I have an E34 I swapped for the Calais (both cars as is unwarranted-on hold). All the work needed on the BMW for a warrant I did myself, front tierod balljoints and the hanger bearing and replaced a front seatbelt and installed a rear screen. She is starting to suffer from electrical problems and am currently repairing them, my dash lights wouldnt light and found that the dimmer control was faulty. Jumped a couple of wires in the dimmer plug to get them going for now until I find a new switch.
Also the S-E-M switch by gear selector is missing and I also need a front bumper with fog lights.
I spied a nice set of look alike 5 spoke AC-Schitzer 17'' Wheels on trademe very cool. I have access to a lot of automotive goods at trade/wholesale prices and have good contacts.
I am 35, have a house the bank owns, have a laid back girlfriend (22) and her son is a cool fella that is 5yrs old.
Still have a few other toys to muck around with cos I enjoy playing with all sorts of stuff, mechanical and electrical.
Real enjoy beach fishing/ surf casting my trusty 4wd gets me there. Still own V8 5 speed Comm but aspire to own a E34 540 manual one day (dreamer) haha.
Thats me a little bit, thanks for your time.
