kiwi535

they dont like the bigger engines at any age...there was a long pause at the end of the phone when i swapped from the 2000cc litre nissan to a 3400cc bmw.......value wasnt too much different but the premium went up somewhat

even with a clean license etc the premium for a 540 745 etc will be more than say a 525 or 728 of the same value

mileage,colour,int colour,manual,NZ new,sport?

make sure you get all the air out...heater on,front of car slightly uphill,and radiator is not clogged and all the brarhers to expansion tank are clear

i know

at 13-14 l 100 ks thats not much better thabn a 535...but if you are really stop go you could get ointo the 17 l 100 k in a 535 or 540....and a 525 i suspect

manual 540b hard to find,but manual 535 not common either.540 will probably be slightly better on gas than a 535,but 535 slightlr cheaper/easier to work on in aother ways.My normal running gets bme about 550 kay for 62 litres,but i dont get caught in much traffic and i drive pretty eay most of the time.On the open road i would get well over 600 ks for 62 litres,but again i am pretty cruisy most of the time(a few third gear passing manouvres bring back the grin)

ahaa mini me....

i know of one....I will see if i can get hold of him...not sure he is a B sporter

i did mine too this sunday....basket weaves are bloody hard to clean with X weeks worth of brake dust on em.I am sorry to admit the fronts were *&^%$ black with brake dust.Must get some pics of the old girl.

the i 6 apart from packaging still has many desireable chacteristics tho..esp for a companty that is almost 100 per cent rwd.

dont agree...maybe the M3,but the m5 needs all those luxury features IMHO

but then all you get is everyone who thinks their car is a ....

i have never seen a breakdown by country,ussually just lhd or rhd euro and american models

thats right....its the people witht hte problems who post,so you see a whole page of problems,but what about the other thousand(s),however certain themes become evident(say Mafs and cps and vanos solenoids on E 39 M5s)

its a hard thing to quantify.I have done quite a lot of research into E39 M5 and if you beleive what you read on the net they are nightmares of cars to own,but i have asked a M5 owner straight up and he has had no problems in 120 000 ks "apart from a set of sensors".But These are serious cars and some parts are more expensive than the run of the mill counterparts...I think it fair to say they WILL be expensive to run

I use this one http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/

these guys may be able to help.... http://www.m5board.com some may consider everything to be big ticket on a e 60 m5

nice...that blue is the business.Just about every model looks good in those blues...The BMWCC has a training day coming up,but we are well overdue for a meet.We should meet up somewhere (someone bring a good camera) and do some pics for teh BS calendar,have a couple beers,bbq ..hows that sound...

i dont know for sure but the thermostat may not have enjoyed the near overheat either...

BS bumper sticker gives it away too

thats a bmw parts description....you can go to a bmwdealer with that link printed off AND YOUR CAR,or order from overseas,.... I would go through the dealer if you arent exactly sure what you are doing cos they will be responsible for getting it right...wouldnt they?

surely only a taxiway!!??

doesnt the rear has an adjustment lever that can be repostioned to allow the rear to sit lower?Its not an adjustment lever per se but some part of the self levelling to allow it to judge how low the car is riding
