Welcome mate. I'm a 540 guy that got bit big time by the e30 bug.540-1,e30-4 lol. A ton of cheap options & fun to be had.

Is there nothing you dont feel obliged to comment on? Ever heard of watch & learn?

As little as humanly possible whilst still creating an impression of massive industrious & busy-ness.

That'll be why they run them on the e30 series cars then

This whole things bullshit Matt. You won an auction.The tosser is legally obligated to abide by the terms of that auction. Still-you've got it & thats the big thing

Hey Brian-you were never gonna be able to watch those awesome concert vids on a 5spd anyway.

The tech guru's are going to tell you to get it scanned to ID the prob before you start panicking. Did your shop reset the adaptions when it was serviced-this can sometimes help if it is the jerk. The jatco jerk thread here will answer your questions. FYI-put your location in your profile then we can direct you to the appropriate people to help you.

Just avoid LTNZ -just a bunch of mechanics who couldnt make it in the real world imo.

Having met and/or dealt with a lot of BS members now I just have to say that this kind of response & result is what makes this forum, head & shoulders, the BEST Beemer forum EVA !!!!! Awesome John & congrats Matt on the new toy.

Throw a quick spray of silver over the box Ian-be a shame not to have it looking sharp

I'd be keen for 2 x OEM

The question was for brent & david

Bit of a long shot but it would be nice if someone local has one lying around. The trade me monster is driving me nuts lol.

I've recond stacks of leather seats but mate those fronts are way beyond help lol. TBH I think the cost of recovering would be prohibitive. Better to pick up a nice set of sports.

Likewise-this is what I've been looking at. What is your thinking behind using the older motors? My thoughts had been that the chances of getting a reasonably low k gen 3 motor would be pretty good, & being the manny the jew that I am, would avoid having to do a rebuild.

Looks nice dude-great project. The roadtrip beats the crap out of freight doesnt it. What year b35 are you using?

^^^^^ Wait till next Thursday

Couldnt you have some fun. Pride of lions, A few mongies lurking(gd security), P-lab (might attract the wrong attention)lol Seriously tho I reckon its a cool idea.

Thanks-would be good to know. Mine was an ebay jobbie but same v6.5

Interesting-thats definitely not mentioned anywhere on mine. I've had it for 3yrs so maybe the chinese have had hassles lol. Only other similar prob i know of,now you mention it,was also an e38 dude on Bfest

I know a lot of people have these & are quite happy with them. But tbh I have one but dont use it after it nuked the obc in my brothers 740. We had used it before with no probs & on this occasion did nothing differently-it just went nuts -$1100 nuts !!!! Personally I'd just be getting a peake (or similar) reset tool or code reader.

The headers make a noticeable difference but for you i reckon, that given they are about $495 & a motor about the same, you'd be better working towards an engine swap. Gonna make a hell of lot more difference than the headers on their own.particularly since you have a manual

hey Andrew-have a look in the Ak Anniversary meet thread-there are plenty of pix of mine. Or flick me your email & I'll fire some of to you.

So my point is-is this new member the new owner?-

But that is your car in the pic right?
