    Its the torque converters I despise,i like the direct connection between foot and rear wheels,"tiptronic" just doesnt do it i hate that throttle of and coast feel.

    dont do amything to the engine till you have done the diff.The v8 is massively overgeared esp the manuals 2.89 not sure what the auto will have but that in itself will make a big difference to response

    But you lose 1000 s of ks of wear too.Dont forget to check the front wheel hub bore size/ hub centric rings, e 34 very sensitive to that too, bet your shimmy is worst at 95km hr

    i took a e61 525 touring for a test drive.It was a BMWNZ photo car.It had almost every option available.The two that spring to mind are lane depature warning and it had Head up display.Lacked a wee bit of torque but was a nice drive

    Some would say the simpler one is more desirable

    plus other diesel benefits,range and torque.Not sure a 525tds has in the way of torque but i bet it has a big tank

    Do you change the tyres yourself?
  23. kiwi535
    What oil do you run?surely a synthetic will be good for at least 10k for your sort of running?check out the cost of buying the "bmw" oil from a dealer take your own containers and buy the quantity you need I buy a new pair of bulbs when I need 1 and then keep the old as an emergency spare

    Oops complete misread then!
