sell the 520i and buy a 535i , they are cheap now , cheaper than doing a proper conversion . $4-5k then fit a turbo if its powerful enough . or do some head work , chip , cam , extractors etc .theres a 5spd one on trade me for $8800. i will have one for sale soon . http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction...asp?id=30709855http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction...asp?id=30709855

4spd auto , a good one too , with auto reconditioned stickers on it , and it drove well b4 we pulled the engine out.

have black leather electric front seats and grey/blue rear seats . front seats fit e34 and e32

a 1987 E32 735ia , sold the seats , and engine is cooked . most other parts are there . good doors , bonnet , boot , rear bumper , 15" basket weaves , switches , electrics etc , lights , tow bar . a lot of parts are the same as e34 535i. ph 021433600 or 09-2997389ah

i have some e28 and e34 etc 3.5 bodies . and some 2.8l

did youhave a M5 , or was it a replica . what did you do with it .

10:1 compression . goes very well . should have done some porting, over size valves etc . but is was only to get it up and running (on the cheap) . doesn't rev as hard as my e34 535i with Hartge motor ,(porting , chip e28 cam ,light flywheel etc). but i think when i change the diff to 3.45lsd , instead of the 3.07 lsd it shoukd be better . how's your 5spd conversion comming along . i know what you need to do to make at all work .

thought i might do this with it .. nah . will just drive to work , maybe some track time if i rebuild all the rubber bits underneth .

i have plenty , can even reco if you want . 021433600 or 2997389

(done 462000km) goes realy well , just sorted the brake bomb today ,fixed the delayed braking . some pics enjoy .
