bummer

No not the Nurburgring edition sadly, but it has the distinction of being the only 3.8 sold new here in NZ.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to replace the cloth interior of my E34 M5 3.8 with leather (including door-cards, trim etc.) The front seats are the M-Sport seats; I think the rest is standard E34. I’d prefer champagne but black would also do – definitely not grey! Need to be in exccllent condition. Thanks!

Might be me?

Worked with Steve for about 20 years, watched him build his original F40 replica from the ground up. Dunno if he made any more? Agree with Palazzo, quality car. Link to his F40 site: http://www.f40.co.nz

Hey Simon, that's me, I live in Dairy Flat (well spotted!) Avus Blue 3.8, think the valve guides are getting a bit worn so will have to spend some M$$$ in a while!

I wonder how evenly the Police apply their discretion. Probably the only reason I'm not ticketed for a loud exhaust is that I'm 44 and look respectable. Stick my 17yo in the same car and she'll come back with a bunch of tickets and a big fat green sticker!

LOL that's no Schnitzer - bog standard 540 with a few bling bits added on somewhere. Here's my real one (Schnitzer 540) http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/upload...80_222_5185.jpg Disagree that the full V8 cant be used with the 540 in NZ - lots of fun from zero to road legal speeds. I have seen a paddle-shift installation where an M5 steering wheel is installed and connected to the tiptronic too.

Can anyone tell me what style/size those rims are? Would look just fine on the black E34.

With the priviso that I won't put the Force-10 in the 1970's Porsche, the engine is just too expensive to mess with & I'm sure it wasn't designed for ethanol.

Used to use Ultimate, now using Force 10. The V8 & hi-performance engines love it, smaller capacity ones couldn't give a sh*t.

Yummm. Best looking 5 series?

Yeah that was a hard hit. Other car folded in half around the b-pillar up to the transmission tunnel! I posted a reply to a member the other night who was thinking about buying an MX5 - the day of that crash I was going to take my own MX5, changed my mind at the last minute. If I had taken it, might not be here writing this today!

I've only ever used Grey Lynn, Guido and the guys are so good I haven't thought about going anywhere else. As I understand it they are independent shops but have the same DNA - I'm sure Ross at the guys at Botany are excellent too.

I was doing about 80km, the other spun across the road into me & hit me sideways at about 60 I suppose. I was OK but a couple of passengers in the other car were really messed up.
