Faults: Still has shimmy at 80-100km Has standard radio/tape/cd changer unit - the radio doesnt work anymore (tape/cd changer ok) and it appears to only have one usable volume level. Diff has a slow leak, appears to be coming from the input shaft part. Contact me on bimmersport or call/text 02102516702. I have honestly listed all problems to the best of my knowledge and am more than happy for interested purchasers to get it checked out by a professional at their cost.

I think this might have been posted before? Great read if I recall (not rereading haha)

Looking good

Johno?

You could put the engine into an EVO 4?

Take it to a BMW specialist

Thanks Johno and 3pedals for the info.

They came with the rims, definitely on the to-do list. Thanks for the advice

Awesome driving by the volvo guy in second vid

And what about for my e34 540i? Fr - 235/45R17 something called Lutons Rear - 255/40/17 Nankang sport

Comedy gold.

Haha, nice find. I've never seen it before.

I'm a little confused, you've asked for our help and advice etc, but don't seem to really want to listen.....

If you don't want to be a poor student, work your ass off...plain and simple, worked for me...and a lot of others by the sounds of it. My parents couldn't afford to support me, and unfortunately they earn above the stupid threshold given by studylink. In my opinion this f*cks over the middle class. People below the threshold get assistance, and those who earn heaps can probably afford to help their kids study. Find a job, buy a frugal corolla (worked for me! ) and reduce expenses.

And what sized tyres/wheels is that Paul?

How do you figure these pressures out? Trial and error?

am i blind or has this car transformed into a gto?

Arnt those pretty high pressures? My 540i is only running 38

Make sure you can tow it back up We had done a similar thing with an sr20 transplanted into a pulsar...unfortunately the going down a hill thing didnt work so well
