hmm i sense a group buy brewing!
-
might have to resort to aftermarket gauge???
-
keep an eye on trademe or similar they do come up...in the mentime i do have a set of wheels which you may be interested in...Tyres are mostly stuffed...one wheel may have a slight bend,and there is some scuffing...also require 72.5 t 74.1 hubcentric rings.....They are 17x8 20 mm offset...I note that your car has the factory "aero kit.."

This is my own personal Opinion...If i was you ,and considering what it is you are replacing i would only go to the dealer....and use their part.Its not twice the "normal" cost...i wonder how much it would cost to do a similar job on a lexus, toyota, or Honda.... Will we see you tonight at th realm?? -
i used to ride M otorbikes too....did a annual trip down south in the new year for a while ,following the annual points series which started at Wanganui on boxing day...seriusly considering another bike.dual purpose,save some petrol and re introduce some serious (and easy) accelleration.The 5 might even go to pay for it.

the glass on a 635 might be worth quite a bit to some people.They are getting old now....

is that the "pyes Pa road?.Done it.One of my favourite stretches of SH1 apart from the desert road is the stretch between taupo and Ohaaki Power station,cant go too fast though cos you never know who might be waiting over the other side of some blind humps or long bends. Any other stretch of road with good rythym is fine by me....fast or slow uphill or down... ie vinegar hill paekeak hill rimutaka,wanganui to national park,surf highway.I like any road thats not straight.
-
so you would sell the touring?Does mine still fit the bill?
-
it would have come with the bits like that from the dealer,even i beleive the //M badge on the front and back
-
style five are three piece arent they?.....not quite correct offset for 5 and 7 but near enough...could be quite close to strut if you have a wide tyre.They look almost std basketweave
-
trademe replied to a question i asked..they said "manual transmission" was not a filter.I replied well it has been for a couple of years under advanced car search option!.Will have to try again later
-
the hydro lakes will be emptied before the winter ends....its the only sustainable way to do it,we cant burn oil to make elecricity to make hydrogen....currently most hydrogen is a byproduct of the petro chemical industry
-
Up until last nigh my favourite search was for manual tramsmission BMW over 2.5ltr...but the manual choice(advanced search lets you choose a manual transmission) but it doent seem to work now....anyone ele noticed this?
-
are the mirror housings them selves,the same between a lhd and rhd car?If so Yuens method WILL work he will just have to get the appropriate BASEPLATES
-
get it checked out thoroughly you dont want to have a dodgy radiator,the last thing you want is to spring a serious leak..if the hose connection blows off for example it is amazing how fast the temp goes up if you have virtually no coolant,you have to stop immediately,which may not be easy (ie fast lane in the middle of winter on a rainy windy night.......)

page are very good with the older cars....not saying they arent any good with newer ones but i think the newer ones need more diagnostic tools...Ring and ask,they are cool,Vijay will normally answer the phone.Tell em you were recomended of bimmersport! -

no my 535 is just a baby only about 240,000Ks runs as smooth as still.I have done more ks than any other owner though,about 20 k a year since i have had it.

lead shot??That would make the hose pretty unweidly wouldnt it?.Gun shop would be the only place i can think of.Or a general engineer,for some lumps of steel or a hardware store for some lengths of 16 mm reinforcing rod.Gravel???
