Wow, should be interesting.

Since it's not an engine swap...and Nick stole what I was going to choose, I now say 74 beers.

What did you forget to do?

If this is the case, I wish to reduce my beer count!

Awesome project! Will be reading with interest! I bet 172 beers.

Bahaha, loving the "My costs" section Glenn . Awesome project thread...will be watching!

Your fronts are 285? What size rims?

I always thought this was as you said...the exhaust contracting

Nice little write up Sticky?

What does w.h.y stand for? I've seen it a few times and have always wondered.

Very nice find, thanks for posting!

Congratulations on joining the 540i club! I saw this car on Thursday gone...looks a stunner in person. Hope you have fun

Happy Birthday Simon!

His touring went pretty well today at the track day!

Let that v8 rumble Good to see it wasnt something major!

I would go back to Mag and Turbo and get them to fix it...if you paid for it and they lowered it TOO low...surely it's their fault and it's their obligation to fix it. Failing that, do as Glenn suggested.

Where did you source gearbox?

Yip, retightened and applied some loctite...boy was I surprised.

Cool no worries, as I said i'm in no rush at the moment, so won't be putting on trademe or anything anytime soon.

I've been told mine is stuffed...also called a 'brake bomb'?? Wanting to know how much for a good replacement, just browsing around for prices at the moment. Part number 14 on below link http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=34&fg=25 Cheers, Ian.

Welcome, I too love in lovely Manurewa Any pics of your cars?

I just want to say a big thanks to Gavin at Euro-Italian ( http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=10481 ) for helping me out with a new waterpump for my 540i. I went there two days ago and asked for metal impeller water pump. He said he's got one ordered and it should be a metal one. It arrives and unfortunately it's plastic. Gavin then proceeded to get me a metal one for the same price as the plastic one and it arrived the following morning! (I had popped in at about 4pm the previous day). Very good service and would highly recommend him! I would also like to thank Glenn for selling me some BMW coolant . Cheers guys. Ian.

So I'm replacing my oil and filter and decide to take off the pan to have a gander...and what do I find but a BOLT SITTING IN THE PAN. My mate who was giving me a hand said supposedly this is quite common, I quickly have a google and WTF DO YOU KNOW, M60's have a problem where oil pump bolts undo themselves? So if you have one, it might pay to get this checked at your next oil change....
