Face becomes like what?? Those are some monster seats! Look like reclining lazy boys.

So who is going to be the first to try it here?

Taking shortcuts is the difference between good and great.Business that do things properly will around longer and have a better rep, also personal satisfaction in doing things correctly and to a high standard is something i like to strive for in my work. Also when i was training if i took a shortcut or didnt do things a certain way id get chewed out and get called a lazy p.o.s, so you learn to do things properly quickly. I dont work in your industry but personally id like to assume im paying to have things done properly. Take for instance the wheel nut situation, what if they rattle gunned it too tight, i have a flat tyre on sh1 at 2am and i cant get it off because a: its too tight or b: the rattle gun rounded off the nuts? If they job im paying for was done correctly i could swap tyres over. And wht canter you say to customers that want stuff "yesterday" i can do it for you asap and itll be ready today, or i can do it properly and itll be ready tomorrow.

Camaro with no lag apparently

Why would it be loud? I have no mufflers and it passes wof noise, a turbo would only quiet it down as the exhaust is spinning the turbo... Youd just have the extra turbine noise.E90 m5 twin turbo

You could easily stick one in the cavity where the mufflers used to be on an e39... Theres a lot of room up there. should be able to route througe piping back beside the exhaust and youve already got the heat shield.

I was only watching as they were just out of high school, and firestone have the nicerbalancing machine , the other place had an old shitty one and werent using the nice stick-on weights. Being in qtown there arent a great deal to choose from and no bmw specialist either. Nearest is 3 hours away, i usually try and do things myself, the last time i took it in was to get the osv changed, i supplied the part coutesy of ray, and asked to talk to the mechanic beforehand to explain how to do it as id researched it and ray had given me some pointers, without lifting off the intake plenum which he was suprised at, they are a range rover specialist so are familiar with the m62 engine.

Sounds like an urban myth tbh

Bought 4 toyos the other week (thanks gastkr) Rang around a few places to ask fitting and balancing costs, while one place quoted me $32 and then said they dont balance rear wheel usually as its not necessary being rears and all. So i decided not to use them and went to Firestone instead, at $25 it was cheaper too. Decided to hang out and watch them do it, which im sure they didnt like but my wheels so tough tittie. First i caught them about to put them on the wrong way, "oh are they directional?" Then i caught them about to stick a 255 on the other front wheel "oh are the rear tyres wider?" Didnt seem to notice the wheels are staggered.. ok Ended up chatting to the manager for a bit whilst they fitted the rears. Car all finished, made sure they torqued the nuts when the car was on the ground Getting in the car the next morning i notice the rears were put on the wrong way, just needed to swap the left and right over, no biggie but christ it couldve been a lot worse, i wouldve ended up with a 235/255 front and 255/235 rear with them going in the wrong direction if i had left it up to them. Anyone else watch their car like a hawk when unspecialised people are doing things to your car?

Hey anyone have a pair lying around? Any condition will do.

Synthetic ATF? Im not sure it matters on brand, although Im sure the likes of castrol/Mobil etc will be fine? Mine is nice and red, Are you going to flush or top up?

Worth a read, are yours the boge type? This is to do with the e34 m5 but im sure if it is boge itll be the same, just need to find a company that rebuilds/fixes pneumatic suspension, im sure it will be a heavy industry type engineering company. Youre in toerunga so im sure big ships/cranes need pneumatic type stuff fixed. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e34-m5-di...lt-perfect.html could always get it on billy sports and h&r srings

Lol at the guy asking "why will it get shimmy?" Dont think he realised about the hub bores. Looks like toyos? Prob my least fav bmw rim, although they look awesome on an m5 in shadow chrome

Id give him a call tbh, hesitant a busy guy, atleast then youll know straight away. There are a few e39's on TM that are parting out, might pay to give them a call. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-452468623.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-453293823.htm

Which city you in buddy? If in akl try Brent http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index.php?showuser=279 or ray @ hellbm

Does it have to be so ugly?

Engine swap ftw!Just like the v10 e30.. Then sell off the e60 parts, im sure there will be a market for e60 parts soon enough. Id hate to think what some of the parts will cost, parts for the e39 are dear enough.

Latest newsletter for those that arent in the email list. Some cool stuff in here. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n...htm&act=url

This most likely.I think they made a B10 in 528, and 540. with a 3.3l and 4.8l engines accordingly. Although youd firstly be able to tell via the price itd be a lot higher than normal and would probably be called and Alpina B10 3,3 http://www.thealpinaregister.com/stats

Wheres the video?

Very similar to the e39! hang on..

Red with black isnt that bad i suppose..

Its a bit of a hit and miss i suppose. I dont have the wheels atm, i just saw them for sale in black and only $600 and look brand new. Was looking at the lm's but these could be good? Can always get them resprayed if they lool shithouse. Oh the pics aren't mine, i have a sedan.

Awesome thank you. Doesnt look too bad, different anyway. 19's definately suit an e39.
