Went to go look at this car on Tuesday, had some time to kill Ended up taking it home Thursday Should be a good wee project, no matter what I decide to do with it

Is the diff locking up and not rotating backward or something??

you are both wrong. E34 ftw E39 powered E28 would win though

fk id say!!! I have really come around to E39s in the past few months,

Avoid that taiwanese crap at all costs. I have their stuff on my Hiace, have to readjust it getting it sitting right once every few months. Go genuine or go home in my opinion, goes for mechanical parts too

the front view for those not familiar with them

id rock that in my touring, wouldn't even have to modify the guards, just delete the rearmost side windows and put that plastic stuff you use in race cars. Interesting that they developed a new intake for it, instead of just bolting on an extra runner on each side of a regular V12 one, the provision is already there from factory to do so. the center 6 on both sides looks identical to V12 manifolds

Thats what i told you when i texted you!

4MPG Still more efficient than a Hummer H1 lol that with hotrod 355 tyres on the back to get the power down properly would be pretty cool Right throughout thier History, Mercedes has built some seriously awesome stuff

<3 Everything about this

i dont see the point with 110, all that money spent with beurocrats, surely 120km/h would have been fine? i guess they are concerned about crap tyres and vehicles that arent safe at 100 let alone 1x0. My Bongo i used to have to daily would be very dodgy to do 100km/h, my Hiace now is much better, but takes a long time to come to a stop even when empty. a lot of variables i guess

Not quite true. This is correct, though I cant speak for non-Apple, i dont use any non-Apple gear, but an iPhone etc will charge faster on its own charger than it will on other chargers, i have used Blackberry/Acer, my external battery pack, even my Van cigarette lighter and the computer. And the only time i have ever seen charging not supported is on a firewire type charger from a very early iPod i accidentally tried at one point.

almost a half million KMs!! is it still original engine?

thats dead right, same as your car. and equally there are people that give it a go that just shouldnt leaving the next person with a big problem! im guessing non-granite top as cupboards arent braced enough

such want!

Nah your old man would have to be quite young then, this guy looked mid-late 20s asian dude Just up for the weekend, back again in two weeks for ECC/BMW meet AmberLeigh is setting up

Where you heading south on Northern Motorway today then? Saw a very nice black W211 today about 4pm

i plastidipped the ones on my hiace and it held up pretty well, same material as E30 etc. And back in the day on my 316i i used to daily (the one in my signature) i used to just hit them with the tyre shine when i did the tyres too.

looks like the nose pointed out across intersection and someones hit that corner and pushed it all across?

Lol @ entire thread

by machined, do you mean spun on a lathe and take the surface off? and then polish?

Bronzit/Beige E30 with racks in Wellington today, rego GUSxxx or GUZxxx something. Seen the car before i think had that "look" pretty well, sorry for scaring you with my van when i beeped lol

looks like a rough diamond, a bit of paint you would be on to something

how would one go about getting that done????

yes i make any buyers do it in front of me before they take the vehicle too.
