suspension and brakes first , you want all the suspension bushes and ball joints to be nice and tight ,recent wheel alignment , newish sport shocks , maybe tighter springs ? good brake pads /discs and brake fluid , otherwise a few fast laps and your brakes will be shot. then semi slick tyres on some spare rims if there is any money left over

lookin smart , should have called in

just a small update new clutch kit arrived this week so can start the swap etc started with the manual conversion just fitted the pedal box man these e34's are a pain in the a$$ to change the pedal box e36 = 20-30mins for me e34 more like 2 hours and while i was in there changed the fan resistor sword for another as it used to go full fan speed every now and again. to do the pedal box you have to remove the steering collum so you can get the box out . cant just change the pedals as the later boxes dont have the little bracket for the clutch spring to rest on. you also have to remove the glove box etc so you can disconect the brake rod shaft etc so you can push it over to the left far enough to get the pedal box out etc . anyway all done swapped the std 4 spoke steering wheel for a later 3 spoke e36 motorsport type while i had it off etc next start the engine and gearbox swap

correct the v8 large diff has a different input flange on it than the other large case diffs like in a 535i 735i 750i etc . but that part can be swapped over from your old diff, fact is you will strugle to find a v8 lsd anyway , more comon to find a lsd from a e34 535i or maybe 735i 750i etc you can fit a lsd pack to your e34 540i diff from any other large case lsd like found in e28 535i e24 635csi e23 735i e34 535i e32 735i 750i , e31 840i 850i e36 m3 3.2L evo diff etc i will be fitting a lsd unit to my e34 540iT soon i have a lsd pack from a e28 535i which was a 3.07 ratio and fitting that into a e32 750i diff which has a 3.15 ratio and fitting the v8 front flange to that etc or just rip the 3.15 gears from the diff case and fit with the lsd from the 3.07 etc into the e34 540i diff case which has the 2.93 gears in it at the moment. something like this , (not mine) http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/diffs-axles/auction-641867037.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/accessories/auction-642700310.htm

yea probably will.just got the call today the clutch kit has arrived , so now can start the 4.4L and 6spd swap. yea its hard with the e34 the sill is actually level with the ground, but the front wheel arches are much higher than the rear ones. so you have to drop the front and have the sill on a rake

thanks but want orginal type like this also a pic of my brother borrowing my wagon to tow his thunder cat race boat , he sent it over from oz to race the summer season here..

Trailer light module , check your trailer plug and wires etc

thanks yea i quite like the look of these . i have some clear front and sides to go in soon. but no wagon rear clear corners , might have to bring some in from germany etc
