Hey all you groovy e60 owners!

I have an excellent condition Owners Handbook for First Gen e60 525i 530i 545i for sale.  Buying one new from the dealer will sting you $128 ouch! 

Why not buy mine instead.  You can put your savings  toward some fine car care products from @Barryn

A mere snip at $50 including GST and post to anywhere in NZ.  

I should mention, it's in English too!

"You know it makes sense".

 

 

 

Ill take it. Does it incl Motorsport option etc?

Haha next up is the interior make over

Is it black or very dark blue?

 

It's black ?

Got the Style 95s fitted today, already changes the look 

Things I'll be doing 

- Complete black leather interior make over

- style 95 wheels and tyres

- massive sound and video system

- redo the tints

- lowers, either on bags or lowered springs

- replace the roof with a perspex UV roof

Picked up this ol girl a couple of weeks ago, 1996 750iL.

Body is fairly straight and engine seems to be in good nick, however the interior and stereo are in need of a beef up.

oooooh how much do you want? dont need the tyres. these would be perfect for my cert. 

Not sure what they're worth. Id be happy with  $200 or so

What are they worth? $200, $300, $400? Or just a box of beers?

Tyres may need so replacing but 235 60 16

So my insurance company cant find the same wheels that I have on my insurance company, more than likely I will be getting a cash compensation.

Anyone have a set in 19" or 20" with 9.0 - 10.0 wheel width, concave would be nice, but deep dish could be on the table too.

For an E60

Anyone wrecking an E60 M5 with paddle shift steering wheel?

Surely be getting towards the end of a service life of an M52 by 300,000kms unless doing a comprehensive refresh?

Seems like an expensive path to go. 

 

I Just want the parts. Not planning a restore or anything. My 38a has a horrible interior complex haha

lol, I had a bid on that one.

For the price you'd be better looking at this one.

Haha I've literally just been speaking to another forum member about doing some shares in that turners one. It's a nicer interior too

Did you end up winning the auction? 

Nah it's been offered to me for $950 so debating it with the wife....

E38 728i on Trade Me
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1316907793

Offered $950 but since I only need half the interior bits, someone else may want the rest?

Oh my this is tempting

For an M3? Or Non-M? I have one available in Silver Grey.

Cheers John,

Its a Non-M Sedan, but can always modify the guards to fit.
Do you have a pic of yours and price?

My brother is after a M3 front bumper off an E46, preferably around the $300 and plastic would be great :-) He is a poor bugger

So a couple of weeks ago I was approached by a media company asking if Rusta could be used in an Ad for a fairly big beer company supporting the English Lions tour coming up.

This morning was filming for this, I'll upload the videa once it's completed and ready 

So the Mrs saw this and is thinking about buying it.

Anyone here know the history?

man that is so annoying but fingers crossed dude!

Yea, ive actually gone with a new certifier. I have a few things to sort out before getting the plate...
1. There is a slow leak somewhere, needs to be isolated, that should be fun since I cant hear any air escaping.
2. The Airbag system can only be operational when the car is in Park, so I need to build a harness using the P engage light as a signal.
3. Get a proper gear stick < haha

The V12 starter motors do tend to wind up when starting. Here's the best vid I could find of the sound they make. It's pretty distinctive and way different to my old 740i.

 

Holy crap. That is the exact sound haha so it's probably al good then?

haha I cant even get to it to hammer it.

It makes a weird winding noise when it initially starts, then after a second or two, it stops.

If in doubt give it a clout

The bigger the doubt the heavier the clout  

Have you seen this  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-7-series-E38-91-04-V12-5-4-M73-bosch-starter-motor-0001218136-/262606323836

haha it may need a very large clout.
Thanks, just seen that now. I may just have to buy this and hopefully it works. @jeffbebe has a spare he doesn't need :-)
