Looks good on stockies! 

Drives a lot better on them too! 

they went today. 

Updated photos now with wheels on car. Yes very boring. But drives nice with them. May need alignment

updated photos! 

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the lack of information posted prior to this. 

Now updated with photos.

For sale is my 2002 540i M sport.

Factory alarm

2 keys

all electrics work )with exception of rear blind clip has come off. (easy fix)

electric seats work perfectly (have fixed the 'twist issue' commonly known on these.

sun roof works perfect.

This car was bought from a BMW enthusiast/mechanic. He had installed a new engine which has done 40,000km's less than the car which is around 134,000km now (Body has done 174,000km)

This can be proved with Vin numbers......

Will sell car without the style 95's as they are too big for the car and has put speed sensor out. This will be sold with stock wheels.

Also, i will have new M.A.F sensor put in as this is also needed.

Besides this, car runs great. But i don't have time to care for it anymore with having a work car. Car could do with small things done but nothing major seems to be an issue. 

Let me know if you are interested. looking for around 5.5k.

Please note: the photo of back seat looks like wear but its just mud...  Also, car is filthy and needs a clean.

Thanks, Rich 021766520

what you're supposed to do is to take off a chunk of the plastic covering wire but leave the wire intact. basically the wire needs a bit of room to move and the rubber covering expands and prevents this over time. Its really fiddly and annoying but a relatively simple solution to a b**** of a problem.

realized this after i cut it ha! watched most youtube vids on it too! thanks

Instrument repairers that make speedo cables can help with that. Try Robinson Instrument Services in Sale Street Auckland

thanks heaps, ill call them tomorrow

Currently in the process of fixing the 'twist' problem with my e39 electric seats which i've cut a cable consequently 'deleting' the square crimped end that is required to mate into the motor. 

Does anyone have this cable i can buy? failing that, a old electric seat i can buy for the part. 

Any help would be appreciated as im currently riding around with no passenger seat which isnt a huge problem as i have no friends because i do this... 

please see photos of the part...

Many thanks in advance.. 021766520

Finally got all the 10" wheels on but not quite their yet... 

can anyone recommend a good suspension set up. If I just get my standard springs compressed will this suffice? Or is there decent lowering springs out there ?

i just want to sit the car a bit lower...

any my help is appreciated. 

thanks,

Full set, all 4 wheels will be done for $300 to $350

Hi mate, can I get rough quote for 2 wheels. (Curb damage) photo is of one of the wheels. Also would you paint the wheels? Thanks, Rich

Hi guys, I'm after one wheel as mine cannot be saved. If anyone has one out there if be keen to buy.

Style 95 (10" or a 9.5)

Thank you

I didn't buy the x6 wheels for no reserve price as listed... I feel I got an okay deal but certainly not a great deal.

Either way I need to now pay to save one wheel.

i need more kids that no about that 'stance life' to let me know as I just want to make them work. Ha. Cheers for the advise man

the style 95's only come as 19x9 and 19x10.

why would you put the 10s on the front?

also running 245 on 10 is possible but would depend on the brand of the tyres - it would look very "stance" but performance is going to be severly compromised and maybe even dangerous.

So as it stands I have 2 10" wrapped in Falken 255 40 on the back. Which brings me to the front... I'm left with x2 9.5 (one damaged) and x2 10" wheels (one damaged)

I'm thinking either way I need to get one fixed but do I go with the 9.5 on the front or shall I go absolutely mental and save the other 10" and do them all around. Tbh I wouldn't mind this look if the tyre profile and width would be happy enough within the wheel arch.

It's annoying I can't upload photos as they're too big :/

Hi guys, had the car for just over a week. Need some advise about the wheels.

Don't know if anyone saw on TM recently the x6 style 95's on sale but I've bought them.

Basically I'm left with a decision as x2 are damaged and one of them can be saved.

Question: can I run 10's on the front on my e39 with a 245 40 tyre? Has anyone done this?

Pic is of a trial fit of the 10" on back with the 9.5 on front. They were fine but unsure what the 10" would be like on the front. I'm unable to trial fit a 10" on the front until I commit to a tyre...

Congrats on the buy OP, I must say you're the only person I know that's intentionally bought a 540i as a daily/work car though.

They are Beyern Five's I believe. Certainly not BMW but don't think they are reps either.

Thanks mate, i agree. They do not sit well with me at all! Well i needed a 4 door that was bigger than a 3 series so the 5 series was the only plausible option to me ha. had to be an m sport however.

Very good Richie.

/

First thing I'd do is replace those what look to be non genuine wheels with genuine BMW / BSS wheels. They look like reps, but I could be wrong

theyre not genuine BMW wheels for sure, the wheels them self are Beyern Five's indeedy and dont want to offend anyone but i really do not like them one bit! like with my old car, im looking for style 95's now

NICE!!!

I must have missed that one on trademe. Got moe details? km? NZ new or import? Service history?

The main thing that scares me with those engines is the timing chain guides.

Its NZ new and no service history but bought from a DIY mechanic that had BMWS all over his front yard. I can only think he married a nun. I shouldnt say this, he might be on here.

at the end of the day the car was tidy and it checked out with a pre purchase.. bit risky but the engine has done 40,000KM less than the car so thats around 120,000. This can be apparently confirmed with the vin on engine ? but im not completely sure as i have not yet had time to investigate this ha.

the timing chain was a huge put off hearing about all this but at the end of the day its all part of the 'fun' right.. theres no evidence of problems.

thanks for the interest

Rich

Hey Guys, it's been a while since I've posted on here but wanted to add my car I've bought mostly for work.

It's a 540i m sport e39. Brought it off a guy on TM recently. Has had another engine dropped in... Yes Very promising... But all checks out at Burgers motors.

I'll be keen to hear what people think of these as I know there can be a few potential issues with them but this one feels solid.

MAF had issues straight away which affected the whole drivability but after I drenched it in CRC MAF cleaner it's come to life. Next on the list is to change the dreadful wheels it came with, new seals and service. I'll post some better pics when I have time but they are rightfully cack.

Thanks

Looks awesome... Would like to see it on adjustables

The Mobil, Fina & Jagermeister race cars, and the art car if I can afford it...

Cheers.

If they don't sell on this auction together I'll give you guys option of buying those ones seperate. Cheers

Hi mate, cars didn't all sell. You can have the yellow e36 for 150 if interested

Regards Rich

If you don't sell them as a complete set I am very interested in buying a number of the E30 M3s off you.

No probs, I'll keep you in mind if they don't sell together.

Which ones were you interested in? I have 5.

Cheers

The motion sensor can be disconnected by hand by un clipping the box off and unplugging the cable.

How much did you buy this car back for out of curiosity ?
