camchain . can never seem to get the bolts line up as the manual says they should for timming the camshaft .

had to use a mixture of valves ,rocker shafts and springs from 3 different heads . the head that was on the 735i m had corrision , and 3 cracked exhaust valves .and a small crack between an exhaust valve and spark plug hole . i had another head given to me a while ago which had dropped a valve and distroyed it . was able to use some of the valves , double valve springs and had the camshaft rebuilt . also had another bare head given to me which was a good one , and a box of valves ,rocker shafts etc which i was able to ues (does pay to throw things out ,never know when you might need them)

just had this head redone , resurfaced , valve grind ,double valve springs fitted , rebuilt camshaft . just bolted to block , with 10:1compression . fitted the manifolds etc ready to be swapped into the NZ new 1986 M535i ,its only done 465000km , i saved it from a farm up north .allmost chicken coupe material . engine stills runs but has 2 worn camshaft lobes at the front . so i picked up a old 84 735i with less millage and I'm rebuild that engine .

yep i have the bits

i will be selling a 1988 535i 5spd in the future if anyone is interested , delphin grey , black leather recaro's , 17" borbet or maybe 15"basket weaves lowered . with late model lowish millage engine fitted . 10.5Lper 100km on a trip or about 13L around town . open to offers . has 3.25lsd or can supply 3.65open to be converted to lsd . best motor BMW made . strong , realible ,ecnomical (for size)easy to fix or service . if wanted can maybe fit older 3.5l motor with higher compression and maybe with latter model head , for a price

we have in our shop a sony componet system which retails for $999 . it has a slimline receiver , slim dvd player and a set of satalite speakers with a powered sub all the cables , doesn't sound to bad and an easy upgradable system with bigger speakers . we would let one go for $850 cash

also factory wheels for early e28 5 series ( freinds have same wheels on a 82 525i ) and latter e12 , also came on some e24 628i .nice to see another member in a e28 , i have plenty of parts if you need any .(sorry no radiator) do have a 320i one (you could make fit) 021433600 or 09-2997389

i went the other way , to make sure everthing is hidden from thieves , check out my web pages My WebpageMy Webpage as well . heard of a guy who had his 6by9 speakers ripped from the rear SHELF though the rear quater windows after they couldn't get in because of the deadlocks . parked outside his bedroom in the driveway .

what ever you do , dont buy a all in one home theatre system . buy seperate components , at least if one one component fails or is low quality you can change it . or just buy 2nd hand good quality . i work at stereo world , so if you want a good deal on new stuff give me a call . 09-6301204wk brent

Exactly Andrew. Why bother building an engine out of mismatched parts. A 325 or 525 wreck will only cost around $1000 and you end up with plenty of spares i agree . just pick up an old 525e e28 2.7L and stick your 2l head or pick up a 323i head (appartly thats the best flowing head) or 2.5l head . 323i runs l-jetronic

i have a good head from a M30 block 2.5L would fit on ok .only done 117000miles $250

yes give me a call 021433600 or 2997389 a/h
