eml?? could it be pcv(crankcase ventilation valve)

If i ever decided to buy an m car the choice for me was an e34 m5 or an e28 m or e39 m5 5.there is no choice for me between the e28 and e34.The E28 just looks so OLD compared to the E34,esp interior.And say bruces old e34 is even cheaper. Then i would have to decide between the e34 and e39,but i figure thats another discussion

get to the cheap turners auction with a grand in your pocket..

whats the body and interior like on the touring brent?

i am not going to offer info on the jap/nz issue,but i guess the mechanic you were talking to was confusing Motorsport with the real M cars(ie m3 m5 etc...)parts for M cars are more expensive than the run of the mill models.The idea of Msport is they "imitate the real M cars

they will be working for the mall owners.As the owners of the mall they can make any rules they like.

looks H U G E

e 34s have massive rear end grip (with lsd and good 235 tyres)

it will soon start blowing lots of smoke...certainly sounds like the pcv valve,common m 60 problem

i guess you have found that genuine parts prices are expensive.They carry a large overhead to help support the rest of the business i guess.i dont see why you cant approach your garage and ask the question.The other approach would be to give your garage the info where you got the parts prices from. I have heard that Toyota Prados arent exactly cheap to run either(sister has one)

yep the dash makes em look eons old....e28,s too

jeepers i am older than most here i have had only a few cars(and a few bikes) 1972 gtr Torana 1986 Toyota Corona GLi 19// Nissan Bluebird(jelly mould shape) 1990 BMW 535i Since the nissan moved on the wife has had Daihatsu Sirion now hads a Suzuki Swift

take in your own container and ask for just two litres....

our local shell station is brilliant always ask i ussually say no and fill up myself.If its a prepay station i just leave

if you want to tow.....540.the wheels and ride height will be easy to change.

yep any e24,e28,e34,e32 (NOT E39),even the later 5 and sixes have same stud pattern and very similar offsets.

hope it all is solved easily now

you can edit it you just need to "go advanced"

FYI prado are full time 4wd .this seems to be NOT desirebale according to my bro who is a 4wd fanatic

the cure is worse than the disease

i have one as a spare complete with basketweave type rim.We would have to come to some arrangement for a replacement but you can have it as a swap .All you need now is for 4 other 535 or 540 owners with original spares to come forward!

the are 13mm so even less than normal 5 series offset

I have seen it,never driven it.i can only say go and look at it and make up your own mind

oops my bad....thought it was a e39 just cos of the colour

as stated above this is Ashmills (Bruce) old car.if you look at it i think you will agree its overall condition is superb reflecting a maintenance and care history that makes the mileage less important.
