Thank you so much you guys for your input.I feel I need to reply with the information that I have got.Most of your input has been so true.To cut a long story short the set of 4 tyres I was considering were manufactured in 1995 which I thought would have been great,not true.I had contacted the 0800.Michelin help line and they advised me tyres over 7 years old are not guaranteed and shouldnt be fitted to a car.So guess what I will be fitting new wheels and tyres to our M6.Once again thanks so much for your input.

If I can get a full set of these tyres will they all be 20 years old.If they are new would the rubber be stuffed.At $200 a piece maybe its still a good deal.The other option is new rims and normal tyres.Is the stud spacing the same on 5 series as 6 series

Can anybody help me find a new set of tyres for my new project.Size needed is Michelin TRX 240/45/ZR415.ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

nice buy . hope not tooooo much rust being a UK import .

timing chain gear is pretty expensive , just rebuilding/hotting up a m88 engine at the moment .

nice buy . and good choice of cars

Thanks so much you guys for the support on my swap.I must admit I had a lot of trouble letting my m535i go because it was such a fun car but in time I know it will be worth it in the end.Thanks so much to SSBMW for his help he has already saved me $.

Hi 1Rotty. Our plan is to remove anything thats no so good rebuild it and I guess this will take a couple of years.I intend to build a new man shed before I start this project,but I may get the motor running,do a compression test to see what I may need to do before I replace the timing chain.I was told the motor runs sweet but for peace of mind I will do the timing chain.Does anyone have a spare ignition switch,this has been butchered.

Pics or Ban.

Then we'll decide.

My wife has posted some pics Can you view them

Definetly an M6 checked with car jam.

I have been looking for a project for some time,something to do in the evenings and any spare time.For some time I have been chasing a car I heard about 2 years ago that needs a bit of work.Today I swaped my M535i in beautiful condition for this ok M6.Have I lost the plot or not.

Hi Simon, That would be good if you could post my photos. My email address is ronaldt@xnet.co.nz Contact me there and we can arrange it hopefully.

At last we have now managed to post our photos thanks to my wonderful wife,

G'day Ron

If you like I can post up some pictures for you? I'll just get you to email them to me if that suits you, then I'll post them up here in the forum. Let me know and I'll give you my email address.

Cheers

Simon

Hi guys,Im new to Bimmersport but have been following this with interest for the past few months.My m535i is in beautiful condition and we love driving it.We have allways been keen on replacing it with an Mpower maybe M3 or M5 or M6 but some of the prices are frightening.Would it be a good move to replace the existing motor with a higher H.P one or improve the existing 3.5litre one.I dont intend racing it,I just like my wheels a bit different.Looking forward to your input.
