  1. Looking good man, like the wheels . . . know your pain with the washers, had to do them on my 535i msport. 

    Washer bottle was full of some seriously nasty gloop . . . managed to get it out without taking the wheel off though.

    Enjoy it, you bet me to it . . . so making do with a 303km replica of yours . . . love the extra omph of the 540i over the 535i

    I recently purchased @Aphexic's E39 540i. Overall it's in pretty good condition, with a tonne of service history dating back to 2009. This thing has had some money spent on it over the years.

    The car has just ticked over 200,000 km's.

    Here's some photos of it in it's new home.

    Things I'm intending to do as time and money allows:

    OEM Msport style 66 wheels (hurry up and post them @oldskool ;-) )

    New tires: Potenza RE003 235/45/R17 Front and RE050A 255/40/R17 on the rear.

    Bulbs: Angel eye bulbs and H7 low beam bulbs

    Thermostat and coolant. Has had cooling system overhaul at 180,000 but thermostat seems to be all over the shop.

    Chain guides and timing chain + waterpump.

    Thrust arm bushings - has a strong vibration around 90+ km/h

    MAF - randomly when stopping at an intersection or lights it stalls and today it was hunting like it had a vacuume leak but then later on it idles perfectly.

    Tow bar

    Drivers door seal

  4. Hey guys,

    The clean out continues . . .

    Set of staggered 17" Style 68's 7.5 front & 8.5 rear . . .

    Front tires are good, one rear good, the other getting low . . . curbing as shown

    Haven't got round to polishing them up yet, but will come up nicely  . . .

    Thinking $500  . . . make me an offer, but don't be too harsh !!

    Will double check tire sizes tomorrow . . .

    Cheers

  5. Hey guys,

    Have a set of genuine Type II's 18 x 8.5" off an e38

    They need a repaint, but are straight and true, looks like they were previously painted by Bubba !!

    Front tires are good, rears are shagged . . .

    Center caps are all starting to degrade . . .

    $600.00 and they are yours !!

    Cheers

  6. Hey Quailboy,

    Being the owner of an ex uk 635 that has been the recipient of an extremely long and protracted rebuild, all I can tell you is look for rust everywhere as you have been told allready, but most important is front guards along the tops where they bolt onto front structure, at the bottom where they attach to the sills, and up inside the guards also as you get huge rot in these areas, check sills, they tend to blow out in the rear, also check floors, boot, front brace running behind grill (open bonnet & look down between bonnet & front of car is best way from above. If it has a sunroof (yet to see one without ) check rear wheel wells as well... obviously check door bottoms, rear of bootlid under spoiler & wheelarches all round, beyond that expect the unexpected ok.........good luck.

    Cheers
