exhaust bracket rattle or muffler rattling inside??

thats why i sold my 99 540iT , could see some big costs coming in the future . had heard of these issues with the later vanos v8 engine's

yes have brought these from a local wrecker for a lot lot less but then agian he doesn't there value

i have had both my m5 engines go at that track (head gasgets), also on a remapped ecu , i wonder if that big uphill climb is quite a load on the engine running at max revs for a long time under load . extra hot , running lean etc . but they where old engines with possibly the original 25year old head gasgets . but i think this track is a lot harder on the engines due to the hills etc

is that caused be detonation (pinking) ??? guess

what diameter is it ?? i think there might be 2 sizes of this type of wheel. and yes come on some late e34 models have one of those from a excutive 520i 1994 fitted in my e36 328i nice wheel but a bit bigger than teh old mtec II i had in the older non airbag e36 325i

super charge that m50 or throw in a v8 or v12 go on

the bill's in the mail i have some fpr avaible if needed

if the engine is being over fueled it will be hard to start , especially when the engine is hot .when the car is running unplug the engine temp sensor and see if it makes the engine run worse , if not then that could be teh problem . also check that fuel pressure reg if they fail it will be sqirtting more fuel in than should be . also how is your air filter is it a std paper one , or a k&n style thing make sure you clean that out or replace it

my mate just got offered a nz new 1995 740i with 120k on the clock and fsh grey with black leather for $5k if you wait around you can get some good buys .

fuel pressure regulator has failed , check the vac hose that goes into it should not have fuel in it . or failed engine temp sensor (the one fro the ecu) or checked that its plugged in properly

with the 3.2L its advisable to replace big end bearings. there are pretty much no parts for the 6 spd gearboxes .

also check the dizzy cap and rotor for moisture or worn out etc

i had a ac pump clutch burn up on my 325i a few years back , ac stoped working and i noticed a plastic buring smell , just swap the ac pump over for another used one and had it regased etc

yea been a bit of a hassle and a lot of $$$ but will get it sorted and make it better . its a M88/3 ,which is the euro spec with single row chain , higher proformance pistons ,and cams etc. also looking at doing up the old engine with a stroker kit , cams etc etc would love a m88/2 though (who knows what that is??)

yes thanks would be good . cheers

can you sawp a zf auto in . i thought the loom and trans ecu are different] i have a good low km jatco that came from amy 96 328i with 100k on it left over from when i converted it to a manual .

thanks guys , yes had the 545 aorund hamptons , and every time it keeps killing my car , first time . blew the head gasget in my 25year old 250,000km m5 engine . after 1.5 sessons but managed to get some good lap times also have some good video footage if i can figure out how to get the digital footage on to my pc so i can upload it to you tube etc so did a quick engine swap (4days work) with another one i got from anaother m745i with 125,000km . went out a week latter with the new engine in and did another 1.5 sessions then one of the old frost plugs started to leak , so called it quites and went home. went out again last week after fixing the frost plugs and the second engine now has a blown head gasget (blowing water right outside the block) . (donar car had been sitting around for about 4-5 years with rusty water in it etc) so in it goes to a garage , to get the head removed have taken the head off the original engine and dropped that in to a cylinder head shop to get a good going over . have ordered a head gasget set out of the states . so will be interesting to see what the other head is like when we remove it . thanks again for the birthday wishes .

no ,I have seen some oz new models imported into nz and sold as nz new . they got the e36 before nz did they started building e36 models ifrom nov 1989

http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=i545i its up to about 512,000km now

normally these have a 2.93 ratio . glenn i thought the speedo works off one or more of the wheel sensors . i have heard of people swapping out ratios on these . i have a e39 540i and a couple e38 740i diffs , must check what ratio's they are . i am wondering if the gears from a large case diff like a e34 , e32 , e28 , e23, ,e24 will fit into these e39 diff cases they look to be the same size diff head

why not just get a medium case diff in the ratio you wnat and get the gears fitted to your diff . i have some 3.46 and 3.25 etc

1986 e28 m535i with m5 engine 512,000km 1990 e34 535i alpina b10 bits 88,000km 1996 e36 328i coupe 103,000km

looks nice . did you still want those boot tray things for the touring .

cant realy lighten them . i would just stick it on and leave it alone ,should be fine .
