Contrails

How about the E39 M5 instead? Plenty of 'M' performance. Edit: Didn't realise you needed an auto as your wife would want to drive too. Still get an E39 M5, .

Prices seem to be everywhere. Archers springs quoted $280 + GST. Suspension Tech gave a quote of $600! I also enquired about valved matched Bilstein Sports, $480 a side up front and $350 a side rear . Edit: I went online on turnermotorsport. Set of four Bilstein sports including shipping to NZ, $970 NZD! Boom.

G'day everyone, I am thinking of getting some custom made springs for the E28. Now I know there are plenty of springs available but the ones to really get are Dinan Springs. Unfortunately, Dinan does not sell these anymore. I am enquiring about the Dinan Spring Specs on mye28.com and I have some info on these. The plan is to hopefully use the info provided and get springs made to the same specs. Now, there's a few of us with E28s. Would anyone else be interested in a group buy? I will find out if they can actually make the springs to Dinan Spec and how much would it cost and then update everyone. Also, does any have Dinan springs on their E24/E28? Regards

Hi everyone, I am looking for the front right wheel ABS speed sensor black wire for an E28. Thanks

I just bought a set for my E28. I will be putting these on next week. Will update you then. I am sure there are others who are already using them.

PM sent

Has the order already been sent through? I was planning on ordering some camber plates for the E28 through them.

That's what I have lead to believe according to the web articles. We also need an E32 Master Cylinder. Below is the link that explains really well the different upgrades that can be done to the E28 Brakes. www.e28.dk/diy/brake_upgrade.doc

Hahaha. I like the way you think Kyu.

As the title suggests, I am after some E34 540i calipers. To be used to upgrade the Brakes on an E28. Thanks. Send me a PM/Text on 0211804565.

What color Black is that? That is nice. No S38 plans Brent? hehe.

Welcome James, nice E30s especially the 325i. What else have you got planned for the coupe?

Let's just say I felt sorry for that car. Beautiful car but could have been so much better if the current owner had looked after it. You could tell it had been neglected and it was a time bomb waiting to go. But it still drove very nicely, smooth operator came to mind right away. 530i vs 540i mate, such a tough decision. I am gonna go check out a 540i tomorrow. I feel as though it give a sense of bigger space in the cabin. Also, ventilation and enjoying the sun on my face.

Thanks Ron, will give the mentioned names a call.

G'day everyone, It seems my shocks are on their way out on the E28 M535i. Because I am running after market lowering springs, I am looking at getting the shocks re-valved to pair with the springs. The shocks are Bilsteins with AP springs. Any places in Auckland you would recommend? Regards

Rob, I am in the same boat, looking to upgrade the brakes on my e28. I have a few e32 Master Cylinders for sale on ebay.

'T 90' after the Russian Tank?

I test drove that one,I would rather give it a miss Kyu. But I would love a black 530i with leather and sunroof and one that's been looked after. Or I could get a black 540i and give you a hard time for missing two cylinders, hehe.

I have four of them, 225/45/17 RE002. Got about 5mm tread left. But they are sitting on some 17inch bbs.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Thanks for the link Peter, I have seen the listing on trademe before but I am after a black one with sunroof and leather.

Thanks mate. Pics or receipts or this never happened. It's a beautiful day today for some test drives and I just got back from one and the poor thing looked like it was abused and never cleaned. Both front tires were completely worn out, wheel alignment was off, dents galore, oil was leaking in two spots and no service records. Body had scratches all over, paint was peeling off in numerous places, interior had bits missing... The Engine still purred and the gearbox was shifting smoothly. But the rest of the car needed a lot of work. The search continues.

Nice work Isis.

Thanks mate. I ended up reading quite a bit on the the Chain guide failures on these cars. Looks like I am better off looking for a 530i instead.

Yep, very very nice.
