Before: After: After shot is a bit dark, will get round to more photons when i find my camera charger! Also, car is in NO WAY finished.

1. Jump out of a plane. Doing so in Feb. 2. Learn Guitar There's others, but they're not for public consumption.

spotted an bagged e65 7 on gigantic chromies outside the monteiths bar in paraparaumu on boxing day (i think) apologies if your a member, but it was hideous!

Looks awesome!

cheers for the comments guys!

I have a buckle and am supposed to ne taking the car away next weeek. Can anyone in the lower/central north island help me? Cant get it fixed between now and then either. would consider a set of 4 other wheels as i'm desperate!

After a quick trip up to palmy, i decided the shocks were completely flogged, and with a trip up to the waikato looming, i thought i should see to them quick smart. I was originally going to get bilsteins, but being the time of year it is, i settled on monroe sensatraks @ half the price of bilsteins (I did have to remind myself that this car is my cruiser, and the subie is the corners machine..). I also thought it would be wise to get some H&R springs at the same time. I'm absolutely stoked with the result - the car has been transformed from land yacht to a car that feels well connected with road. Anyway. Teaser pic!

Call made. Thanks to *Glen* for shedding light on my problem. I'll let you know if a new fan blade sorts it!

Hi all, My car has an intermittant engine vibration when idling. Initially i thought it may have been a leaky injector flooding one cylinder, but i'm not so sure now. Symptoms: Vibrates first time the car is started when cold - Continues vibrating until revs pass 4k, then the vibration will dissapear completely regardless of revs. Its quite a vivid vibration, possibly only running on 7. Sometimes it starts to vibrate after sitting at the lights/in traffic - same as above to clear vibration. I've noticed recently that it seems to occur when the fuel level is below 1/4 tank - this makes me wonder if it could be my fuel pump or maybe fuel pressure regulator? Fuel Filter is about 3k old. Any ideas?

!!!! Thats appalling. I just had a buckle fixed on one of my schnitzers: $160incl. Same guy gave me a rough quote of $500 to fix my extensively damaged ROH adrenalines. Thats incl the shadow chrome paint, which is a bit of a mission apparantly.

They hubcentric for e34?

^^^ Hot.

Mate, thats reasonably tempting. I'll have a think about it over the weekend and let you know. Probably the best step from here is to take the car down to mikes and get a proper diagnosis on the vibration/backfire and take it from there. I'll try and get in in the shop early next week.

Cheers guys. The absolute need that i had to sell this kind of disappeared last night, so now I'm in two minds about passing this on. I'm going to leave it advertised here, and on the intranet at work, but I think this is as active as I will get at this stage.

Oh so gutted! I have envied your 540 since i joined this site!

100% keen for E34 sedan. Actually, not anymore. Changing priorities mean the 540i will be on the market shortly. Apologies.

I listen mainly to Folk Metal, G-Rap, Grime and breakbeat. Anyone that knows me knows i'm not really ashamed of anything i listen to. For instance, I'll extol the virtues of Lily Allen to anyone that will listen. Though it does raise the odd eyebrow when i'm listening first to say, Equilibriums Blut Im Auge, and then chuck on lily's LDN straight after lol.

Thats my wallpaper on my work PC There's a plethora of m60 powered E34's around here. There's a sexy black one just down the road, A green one that i often park next to in the work carpark (same schnitzer rims too!) There's mine, another one like mine nearby, plus, there's a very, very sexy E34 M5 lurking in the shadows, somewhere locally too. <3 E34.

I Use BP98 in my 540. I've found i get both the best performance and best economy. Second choice would be V-Power. I'm not so sure how the m60/62 is on Ethanol fuels.

Let us know how different it is now Thought there must be something wrong, because my m60 really gets up and sings past 4k!

To those of you saying you like it, i really hope you haven't seen it in the flesh. This car is an absolute monstrosity. Its incredibly rough in every respect, and each time i see it it gets worse. Last time I was in repco, he was trying to track down a standard front bumper cover. Here's hoping he's going to improve it.

Looks good mate. Looks almost identical to mine when i bought it. New wheels and clear light update kit makes such a difference http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=25765
