Way late and i wouldnt hold your breath for another one.

what wheels went on the M3?

Anyone doing an ECS order soon? Want some o-rings from them but $13 for the o-rings and $40 shipping is average as.

strange, dont think iver ever seen an evo that didnt have this wheel, I'd actually like the wheel in the original post for my own car

In saying that though, depending on how good the "full history" is, and the condition of the car it looks like a good option. Things like the OBC and audio can be upgraded later on, and Estoril is a lovely colour.

no hifi audio, manual seats, and 8 button OBC are a pretty good giveaway that the first buyer was tight. Most of those things are standard options for most markets. The steering wheel is also curious, the evo generally gets the bigger, newer wheel like the E39.

Been forsale for ages, low spec import. Thats about all i know.

I'd take it to some illegal street drags and skids.

sh*t, sorry Geoff im bloody useless at emailing people. I am a bit of a weirdo though! Ill email you now.

got any good staggered motorsport style 68 with tyres?

Youre crazy. Should look awesome once done. Impressed with the speed at which the work is progressing too.

Just like my M3, you would have trouble replacing the Spec C. Should keep it and drive the wheels off it

My car must be race car #slicktopmasterrace

whats with the Rover emblem?

one lady owner, only driven sundays.

just shows the depreciation over the years

its the old saying, any publicity is good publicity!

Its got more rasp than expected (first time other than the dyno that ive heard it from outside of the car) but still sounds good.

this looks like a helpful guide too (for the M54) http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=660007 I think i used the bmwtips one, but im sure i removed the fan and shroud too. Beisan (as much as i dislike them) seem to have a good guide on the fan and shroud removal http://www.beisansystems.com/procedures/e39_fan_procedure.htm fake edit: oh, i think i might have done it at the same time as the vanos, which does need the fan and shroud removed. i guess start without removing them, see if you can complete the task, if not, remove it?

was there a separate indicator flashing on the front? Quite common for DRLs to turn off on one corner when the indicator is flashing. Looks dumb but makes the indicator more visible.

Testing out my new Sony Actioncam

it does appear to be exceptionally tidy though, i think once the buyer gets over the shock of what they paid (and what theyll never get back for it) they will be happy with it.

contact Andy, last i heard he had spare stickers. Should have got plate frames, look 100x better and mean no holes drilled and have near infinite adjustment.

Mine was an M52 but the basics should be the same. i didnt jack my E39 up when i did it. If you remove the fan and shroud there is an aux pump attached to the shroud at the bottom iirc, you will need to pull under the front to pop this off. I didnt have any under tray. Always disconnect a negative terminal first when dealing with car batteries. fan and shroud take 2 mins to remove, best to do it so you have space for the belt and tensioners.

not too bothered, it lasted ok for a few months without the covers on, so ill just take them off again.
