Hi all, Bit of a shameless self promo here-I’m responsible for the “Buying a neglected M5” videos on the tube recently. I’ve just uploaded episode two where I get stuck into the rod bearing job, check it out here. https://youtu.be/GgoFUOo4YH4?si=5fJqrjDjsYPfMa_V I’m not a mechanic, I’ve just always fixed my own crappy cars over the years and when values for Japanese cars went a bit crazy I dipped my toes into the BMW world and now here we are. Started with a great e28 535i (malachite metallic) then an e34 535 5 speed followed by a fairly broken e39 540i 6 speed with AC kit. Anyway, I always wanted an e60 and couldn’t resist the challenge of reviving this one. Open to any comments, questions or criticisms! Cheers Jordan

It’s EFI, I’ll do some research and see what the differences are, all part of the fun I guess. Thanks, I’ll be in touch if I get stuck!

So today I collected my new to me 180,000kms young two owner ‘86 e28 528i and on the drive home it broke cyl 1 exhaust rocker…….yep, great. I’m basically after options/parts to repair so ideally I’m looking for a complete cylinder head as the cam is toast as well, cheers

Cool, pm!

Looking around for an e28, open to anything at this stage and willing to travel. Cheers!

There was an m30 (e34?) engine/gearbox on TM just recently that I should have jumped on. I’m wanting something fun to drive that after brakes etc have been gone through I can take on the track, so for me seems like a good option

Howdy, After owning many makes and models over the years I’ve found myself in my second BMW - a 535i and am really enjoying it... Found it on FB marketplace and always had a soft spot for this chassis so I snapped it up and bonus that it’s a 535. Right now I’m needing to replace the front shocks-any recommendations for suppliers here? Im also toying with the idea of doing a manual conversion. Any leads on parts appreciated..cheers!
