  1. Any recommended brands etc for 2 rear 165/30/19 tyres?

    Preferably low road noise etc, asymetrical.

    Had Rotallas when I got the mags to try out, one of the rear developed an air bubble around the inner rim of the tyre, on the inside side.


  2. Why not?

    E90's are relatively new compared with the e36 and e46, if its a 2005, its would be close to ten years though.

    On the subject of maintenance costs, be wary of the age and potential replacement costs of wear and tear items, it might still be worth keeping your car, purchase price plus any potential wear and tear components could be much greater than simply maintaining the car that you have so it runs pristine.


  3. Coby are steel , Wayney's are Stainless - its a no brainer - buy the stainless ones. I had OBX headers on my 528, well worth it.

    Yeah spot on, I don't fancy the steel too much as well. The dollars are stacking up with upgrades on the e39, I'm actually more pursuaded to sell mine and get the e90 330i. Only thing is the reliability issues, doesn't seem to have temp gauge on the instrument cluster, but its obviously got the lighter weight and more power for all the town driving I do.


  4. I used to get under 12L/100km on my e39 530i, until I decided to try out the upper engine cleaner on the intake....oops...didn't think a cleaner could do so much, it probably decided to have a fit over it...not doing it again...

    Now getting similar figures to you. But I've tried resetting the ecu just to let it remap things. Figures are improving now.


  5. item=180923547033&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr#ht_2796wt_1030"]http://www.ebay.com/itm/180923547033?item=...#ht_2796wt_1030[/url]

    offers 10% on 5 or more = $472 plus some likely duty/GST, including the fogs no bulbs. Painting is extra.

    $400 seems to be the rate for a non-msport bumper here, which may noy be the right colour anyway.

    Who's buying the other 3? Is that $472 including postage?

    Is this the contact you got from jeffbebe? I asked him on another topic, he doesn't seem to know anything cos he said he's got a m-sport 540i...wtf...
