i dont see practicality being "the" problem.. it certainly can be a problem but i highly doubt it being the deciding factor. i wish they paid more homage to the original supra and followed it's design cues a bit more instead of making something that looks totally different. (to my eyes anyway)

his is the style 260. There is a very subtle difference.

good choice on the wheels. did you get them from jervis? they are a rare style that comes on some e9x m3's and slightly different to the more common style 260. ferric grey is the right name and i think looks better than black!

whats next?

once an addict always an addict. it wont be long..

hahaha not bad!

best to talk to martin @BreakMyWindow as a fellow M5 owner, I am just merely speculating based on general BMW common faults. I dont have any E39 M5 knowledge specifically.

have you tried bridgestone?

These are the tyres people used to use for stretch/stance on big wide wheels as the sidewall has a lot of give. I find them to be a soft tyre and wear rating is probably not the highest. Im suprised you found them for sale? is it new? There are plenty of good decent options these days (newer models) compared to this which is a relatively old model of tyre

I think it looks fantastic, all the trims and details, also the colour is superb!

looks well presented and being 2000 you at least get the 1 year wof but it is prefacelift, has ugly front headlights, not sure what is up with the seats not being the standard M5 version, just looks like normal msport seats.. but in saying that its probably not a bad buy at around 30k given the value going up. still, kms are highish but i doubt it will detract from being a great car to drive. i would budget at least another 5k+ on maintenance bills though in the near future for bits and bobs?

somewhere between 1-1.5k?

i hope hes not your mechanic any more. stick with the correct castrol oil for the S54 engine.

how much did all that cost?

hahahahahaha good one! but yeah free if anyone wants it oh and its brand new

cheap aliexpress ones I got for like $5 if anyone wants it photo shows the iphone x version but its for iphone 7. fake alcantara material and a poorly stamped M logo.

^ is this the one that had the big reveal a few weeks ago at the honda greenlane meet?

put the engine in the back then

imagine if they built a mini with a B58 3L engine + RWD.... man that would be awsome

is the future of RWD vs FWD discussion the new E46M3 SMG vs manual discussion?

not sure about the pixels thing but its definitely not an E39 if your cup holders can actualy stay retracted...

plenty of good stories about the M140i being the last of the true hot hatch in RWD.

thats the point, they dont realise because fastway does not cross check.

how much would i expect to pay someone to do it including the parts? say bmworkshop I have done complete suspension overhauls on my E46, E39 and E91 before but this one is not for me so I might just point them in the right direction and get the job done. Just dont want to pay a fortune on parts when I know I can get it shipped much cheaper.
