  1. Shimmys. Erratic/rough idle usually means intake manifold gaskets OBC warnings referring to rear light clusters are usually a broken loom in the boot Make sure trans is shifting smoothly. Drive it when its cold and listen for a whine. Check for stalling when N selected etc. Look for evidence of coolant leaks in the engine bay. Not much else goes wrong with these cars. Be aware that $5800 is optimistic.
  2. Yeah i wouldnt bother. For example i recently offloaded a mint 540 with a bung trans for playmoney. Was ripe for a 6 speed swap and could easily be done for quite a bit less than the buy now on that. M60 is a fantastic engine too.
  3. engine? auto/manual? details would help!
  4. Concave will be visibly deeper on the wider two if staggered.
  5. Really dig the 1/2 leather too. Very nice car.
  6. Ahh, Black lifted trucks with black, low offset steelies + mudders. My second love! My old beast:

    RUSTY

    Love it. But then I'm not one to hate on a car just because a certain person built it.
  8. Hot car! Absolutely adore the interior. Going by recent listings/sales i'd say $17-20k

    SOLD: E34 540i

    Yep. Cut it loose, but its going to a good home
  10. +1 for pics. Will be looking for one of these once i sort out my 540. What wheels does it have on it?
  11. Agreed. f**k, we could be here for years having a moan.
  12. You'd be wanting an F6-E then. And i fully agree with your sentiments.
  13. haha, yep thats me. Except i dont sit at 103, I usually give it a nudge up to 120 or so and then when i'm past the queue, move left and drop back to 110. I also won't tailgate until the car in front has a clear space on the left to move into. Then i'm all over 'em. I do the best i can to not hold up traffic thats moving faster than me, which is why i dont like being tailgated, but am happy to hypocritically tailgate myself.
  14. Give Warren a buzz @ http://rimrite.co.nz/about-theman-for-mags.htm Top bloke that does a top job.
  15. I'm with Oli. But then we're both in Wellington where it seems that any lane is an acceptable lane to do a consistent 20km/h under the speed limit. Also, Engage ABS works well for tailgaters.
  16. Its an E34 2 door convertible . I am seriously disturbed.
  17. Saw an Aston Martin Rapide Nailing it from every set of lights along the Wellington waterfront yesterday. Sounded choice.
  18. Think H&Rs are 40mm from memory. Great buy you got there, Welcome!
  19. had a similar issue with my old 540 and it turned out to be the crank sensor. there's a way of measuring it with a multimeter, but i forget what it is.
  20. Basic Question - Will a 5HP30 from either an E32 or M60 powered E38 work when mated to an M60 in a E34? I realise that physically they should be teh same, but is there any electronic issues to think about?

    There's a very good reason you cant find any now.
