probaly not as quick as your audi turbo . but at least the engine has the correct number of cylinders and drives the right wheels but the engine and trans are pretty basic units . pretty reliable , just keep up the servicing oil etc, keep them cooL!!! thats the only time these engines give any trouble when a simple thing like a failed water pump , hose , thermostat or radiator give out and people keep driving them till they are stuffed. maybe price wise about $6-7k

not sure where it is , but i have one still in the car . http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E39/Seda...rbon_container/

nice car . also check/replace the PCV valve at the back of the inlet manifold . they fail , letting oil into the inlet manifold from the crankcase, causes white smoke at start up and a rough idle. its well documented on the net on how to fix the headrests. http://www.nmia.com/~dgnrg/page_33.htm http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/5326 also a goodsite for suspension/ wheels stuff http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main.html

i hope its not stuffed , cracked head etc . get it sorted properly a tow is much cheaper than an engine . check viscous clutch on fan . water pump , jammed thermostat. make sure its bled properly .

dont worry here is another one listed today http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-238524013.htm

hi . my mate thinks that car might have been imported by his grandfather when it was new , drove it around for a while in holland / germany etc then brought it back to nz .

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=235539269 i think its a 95 but a tourist deliver . my freind thinks his grandfather might have brought this into nz when new . cheaper converted 530i to 540i http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=235944915

no all e34 540i where facelift . but there where lots of options you could have spec'd it up. and i have a lsd for a 540i if you need one . cheers brent

more likly a m10??? for a 1987 e30 318i

my mate is selling a e34 touring soon . a 520i with faulty auto , but being converted to manual soon . also will have a 525i touring up for sale at some stage later in the year as well.

and now with dyno sheet to prove its worth

just ran my 92 325i 5spd coupe on a dyno today just see where its at , so i can compare it later with the 328i coupe i am moding etc . the 325i had a chip installed by previous owner , i converted it to a manual using a lighter 320i m20 flywheel and 325i clutch and a e36 320i gearbox sleightly louder rear muffler . 3.15 ratio diff. peaked 111kw at about 6000rpm

swap e34 gear lever shifter parts for a e28 shifter parts. thne your gearlever will be in the right place

not the ones i have seen e32 735i and 750i 740i all 28mm thick in the front . and vented in the rear just like the 540i etc

thats just the amp module . is there something behind that . maybe the radio module is behind stereo tv part??

no sorry

rusty baffle in the muffler or broken exhaust hangers etc . get it up high and have a look anfd poke around . also these manual gearboxes rattle when idling

ok you twisted my arm . i have a raggy one . any german , denmark or dutch stuff will do

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...amp;permanent=0 read the questions and answers

thats right you dont need the sensors on the side of the gearbox . tacho comes off the fat greem wire in teh engine loom

i have some options . std and after market . do you have picture of the speakers so i can see what size and depth etc . i have a few from e39 , e38 models some are original and good condition some have been replaced with uprated units . let me know what type you have in there now . thanks can email me if you like [email protected]

like this . pic before the paintinggrill panel and smooth bumper mouldings.

a later e28 e23 e24 engine is still a good choice they make more power and torque than the later engines, they use 10:1 compression pistons . but the e34 /e32 engines have a better tidier engine loom and run later motronic 1.3 etc . best combo is e28 /e23 /e24 84 onwards engine with e34/e32 loom and ecu set up .

yes only the inlet valve is 1mm larger on the later 87 e32 - 88 e34 onward engines and maybe sleightly bigger porting on those too. not sure about the coolant thing though , i have the later e28 e24 e23 heads look much the same as the e34 and e32 heads . the e28 has a little water pipe fitting coming off the back of the head but the e34/e32 just has a blanking plate bolted to it to cover the hole http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E28/Seda.../cylinder_head/ http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E32/Seda.../cylinder_head/ or are refering to the early 3.5L engines from about 1979 to 1982/83 etc which have different water jackets, different bore stroke ratio etc etc
