    I'm going to add new driver's door seal to your list.

    What a stunning looking car. I love how it has the dark headliner, so much better than the beige most of our BMWs come with. 

    Thanks, yeah it's super worn! good spotting. I agree, anthracite headlining option is good.

    I recently purchased @Aphexic's E39 540i. Overall it's in pretty good condition, with a tonne of service history dating back to 2009. This thing has had some money spent on it over the years.

    The car has just ticked over 200,000 km's.

    Here's some photos of it in it's new home.

    Things I'm intending to do as time and money allows:

    OEM Msport style 66 wheels (hurry up and post them @oldskool ? )

    New tires: Potenza RE003 235/45/R17 Front and RE050A 255/40/R17 on the rear.

    Bulbs: Angel eye bulbs and H7 low beam bulbs

    Thermostat and coolant. Has had cooling system overhaul at 180,000 but thermostat seems to be all over the shop.

    Chain guides and timing chain + waterpump.

    Thrust arm bushings - has a strong vibration around 90+ km/h

    MAF - randomly when stopping at an intersection or lights it stalls and today it was hunting like it had a vacuume leak but then later on it idles perfectly.

    Tow bar

    Drivers door seal

    new water jet hoses

    Just dug out the email: $550+gst comes as a kit with pressure plate, clutch and release bearing. This was about this time last year so prices might have changed slightly.

    Since then I've sourced most of my parts from either FCP Euro or Pelican though. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-clutch-kit-325e-325i-325is-524td-528e-325es-e30-e28-kf296-02 FCP by rough calculations will be $427 but you will be on the line as far as customs are concerned, but if they catch it you are still only looking at $491 which is cheaper than Speeds $550. FCP stuff arrives in roughly a week.

    Best,

    A.

    FS: XYZ adjustable camber plates with Koni collar nuts.

    I purchased these for a suspension overhaul but didn't end up using them as my current mounts were in good condition and I didn't have the koni strut nut issue that other people have had. I paid $240 from speed factor, looking for $140. Pick up Wellington or can post at buyers expense.

    NB: Brand New

    E30 got some love yesterday.

    New 8mm High performance leads

    Bosch distributor cap + Rotor

    Bosch Injectors

    VDO fuel pump

    Rocker cover Gasket and plugs

    Wanted to do the TPS but have the wrong part :-( turns out the Auto one is different to the Manual. Has anyone spliced the auto to a manual? Picture of the auto one attached. The manual TPS is 3 pin (same as the ICV).

    CHeers,

    A.
