    tow hook??

    some of the later models have about a 20mm square panelthat comes out and a tow hook screws in.The tow hook in these cases has a possie in the toolkit
  3. a decent e39 M5 would be 15K(sterling)?
  4. with all the bad weather there are pothole everywhere,i hit a bad pothole coming over paekeak hill tonite,prolly bent my frontright wheel(if it wasnt already!) You dont need to be going fast ..with 12-1300 kg of car behingd a hit.
  5. Make sure they spec they pull up for the figures is as close to your actual car.Ie if you have a lowered 3 series the m3 settings may be more apprpriate than std 3 series....Hope you get what i mean
  6. i think we need a little more information on your needs.I could suggest a E38 740,prolly the MOST car for your money!
  7. with regular services untold.Seriuosly with synthetiv low weight oil egines will lst for ever.As long as the oil pump bolts stay in and you dont use a high sulphur petrol(m60)

  9. yes time for a tune up,and or its normal,my 535 does this when i first start up esp if its cold.Its worse when its due for a service.Otherwise,its a vacumn leak, or idle control valve

    TXTing

    email and txt is fine,but nothng can sort out an issue,problem,or misunderstanding like a phone call,or even better a face to face.also with texting and cell phones i think it is harder to get people to actually committ to a event or function,cos everything can be organised at the last minute,so things are organised or decided at the last minute. However some things are made easier...email newsletters and mailing lists and TXT cancellation services sound cool! I laboriously type out most everything when texting,must try other methods!
  13. i thought only the 540 and m5 and the like used the large case,praps it is medium and you have the small?
  14. uh oh......happy birthday sparks.....have a good one(or two)
  15. ok i will show my ignorance Shadowline AFAIK referss to the matt black trim around the doors and windows that are normally chrome as in this pic of my 535 what does it mean here

    you da man Andrew....
  17. do my eyes deceive me or do the rims "stickout" from the tyres by 10-12 mm?
  18. FWIW i dont think a K&N will match the BMW filter for keep the crap OUT of your engine.
  19. thats not very scientific...i can get 550 ks to a tank on my 535 with not much stop and start driving around town,could get over 600 ks easy with open road driving Look at older posts we have discussed this twice in the past couple of months peple have posted consumption and per tank figures

    Metric Tyres

    metrics are hugely expensive .If they are still good it might be worthwhile selling them and with the money you can get new wheels and tyres of trade me or similar.Some people want to put there cars back to original so want tthe metrics.
