Yeah EDC is a different system. Id be checking what you actually have exactly to start with. Does the EDC still function? it may of possibly been replaced. Have you actually measured the heights?
-
Id be surprised if it has pressure accumulators being a non iL. Does it using ATF or CHS11 for power steering?
-
It is an 740iL?
-
Any difference is offset by added complexity\maintenance of E60. Get a motorcycle if you want to save on gas, maintenance and have something fun. You Don't have to worry about sitting in traffic either.

Price is pretty reasonable to me, dime a dozen those cars.

What BMW's other than a E30 M3 have dogleg gearboxs?

E12 M535i -
Ive used NZAD rotors for awhile now and never had an issue, that includes plenty of track days also.
-
The 530i had the ZF S5D while the 540i's and other BMW's got the Getrag 420G
-
Never felt the need to use heating seats ever, NZ ain't even cold let alone Auckland.
-
When i got mine done i sacrificed a spare rear seat for material.

Id rather have a blown M62 than S62 anyway. Good power and reliability.

3.15 Diff in the M sport auto is an upgrade over the factory 2.83 or whatever it. Economy maybe slighly better but don't know why you would care about that tbh. If you planning on keeping the car for awhile, its far more beneficial to put in a manual for a little more. It will also increase value and help resale if you ever sell it too.

Your average jappa

Isnt shipping only like 30 usd? I got 2 in for like $250.

Ive think ive got a set lying around i dont want

Ive yet to see any 2nd hand ones that have the power of new ones. I got new Stabilus ones for bonnet and boot($20ea from pelicanparts). They are so strong you hardly need any effort to open.
-
Alot of if's. Its obviously been neglected(hopefully only body) and the low k's may or may not be a good thing. No doubt a proper inspection will give a better idea. I don't like the colour personally.
-
Seems to me you'd be better off buying one in decent condition for not much more.
-
Looks std to me. Was someone on this forums that wanted one iirc. Looks tough as, GLWS.
-
Sure it may be harder to sell but if you can get it for a good price, you'd probably loose less. You usually pay a premium for some arbitrary numbers. Comes down to the car too, a 300,000km E30 M3 in good nick is still going to have value, and maybe even easier to sell due to the price.

Manual is always the better option. After owning a 540i6, there's no way id ever consider buying an auto version anymore. You should of bought mine

Used my old mans 1\2 Stahlwille with an extension pipe on my M30 crank nut, handled it no worries. The best part is he found it on the side of the road in the 80's, so owes him nothing if it breaks,
-
Guess it depends on your definition, to me they aren't expensive on the grand scale of things. Ive probably spent 1.5k on my M30 doing the same type of thing as you.
-
Only thing it needs is a manual trans

E32 750il aren't too complex and were built to last, the E65 is the opposite.
