Do we have a Trade Me wants thread ? Look at this, wish we got more 540 manuals here, US has heaps of them https://carsandbids.com/auctions/9QPA12Wd/1997-bmw-540i-dinan-5-sedan?utm_source=listing_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=button

yeah that's just a Z3 Coupe not a Z3M

I have just recently purchased this one and it's friggin awesome, coming from a supercheap crapo one the difference is night and day https://engineerscollective.co.nz/products/powerbuilt-2-5-ton-2267kg-low-profile-fast-lift-floor-jack?variant=39734740582490&country=NZ&currency=NZD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21641643722&gbraid=0AAAAABykuUSTJm_uMHy06sFiPA5KOLfN-&gclid=CjwKCAjw9anCBhAWEiwAqBJ-c6tVzXAsc6YHjh-5CR4elTYXJFzU3ZwoWURdn9ClHNWIWO8RNGdnRBoCtiEQAvD_BwE

A contender ? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/335i/listing/5361090739

Yeah crazy, his cars are all way overpriced, how he gets business I don't know. Dumb people with money ?

Couple of jobs recently, rear brakes on the E39 and Mickey on the 130i. Brake job went smoothly I find brake jobs very satisfying. Mickey did not go so well I stupidly stripped the Aluminium threads, was furious with myself...had to get my mechanic to save me with some Helicoil work I was very embarrased Lesson well learnt though, be f****ing gentle and precise with Alu threads, make sure stuff is seated properly Yep my OFHG needs doing as you can see

Watched. that was great love your work, Tshirt is cool

Nice that looks mint

From experience I would highly suggest getting a shop to compress the springs Scary as job

That is the correct part number I think, installed exactly the same on my e39. The strut is the same for Msport and non MSport but maybe not for all the 530 model years ? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-strut-assembly-front-e39-w-m-technic-suspension-556-834#fitment

Hey Dude I will take the Mickey Mouse and oil filter please

Nice, get rid of that horrible stuff on the grill 😉

That is a seriously sorted 130i !

What the hell happened to that poor thing, stolen ?

never had any issues with FCP with multiple orders
