Actually talking to a company now is Australia that do a E34 27mm adjustable bar for $250, just to need to see shipping costs going to be. If i can keep in under 400 it could be worth it.

What a fatty

You can get a M5 25mm one from Turnermotorsport for quite cheap. Are you running the Whiteline 20mm one?. The M5 25mm and 20mm bar set gives a good neutral balance for most situations. With big rear bar you are reducing rear roll but decreasing rear traction and adding oversteer.

I like E9's like everyone else but id like 3-4 M powered cars more.

Nice colour and it looks good those Schnitzers too(the kid seems to like it as well)

I agree, they have all aged well and have a perfect old\new balance. Ive met quite a few people who thought my E34 came out in mid 90's. E39's still look good but are too common to really stand out.

Nice, the red and black combo looks sweet too.

I dont mind wood trim either but for me its the fact that this looks incomplete, half done. If it had wood door trims, knob etc it would look better, but imo E31's are too modern to pull off a wood steering wheel.

Added a few more things

Exactly, its only on the intake. Ive seen a couple of dyno's showing the vanos M62 pulls better to about 3500rpm after that the non vanos M62 surpasses it and makes more power.

Tuned M62B44 non vanos with M60 heads\intake manifold and possibly some headers.

Dyno it before and after and post results

Doubt it would take 7.5L, thats near V8 capacity. I use Penrite 10W40 full synthetic, well priced too.

Im shooting a couple or so every night atm

Good to hear. Those specs are pretty similar to mine and im also running 1" bump steer plates too. What front swaybar are you running?

Was going to say its not that expensive, but that was before i noticed he is trying to pass it off as an M-sport.

Problem i find with R129's is most are way over priced and early 4 speed models. I'm still upset that awhile back i missed out on a very tidy, well priced, '96 model with panoramic roof. Nice cars though

Looks fine. I wouldn't worry about trying to clean the cover.

Haha. The only thing that id consider easier to do on M70 is changing the water pump and possibly drive belts. I do agree about the V12 though, love the starter motor noise too.

Ive got a kit for one i pulled out of an old gear knob if you want it, was more a reddish orange iirc

I run them on the E34 for better turn in and increased traction, but whilst they are fine on smooth roads they're harsh and noisy on bad roads with rough seal, bumps etc. Probably going to get rid of them shortly. The Ireland Engineering adjustable type ones that use the stock strut mounts are probably better for std street car, they do raise the front slightly though, but i used to run them on my old E30 without issue.

Someone who wants something a bit different. WhiIe i respect the E36 M3 i have no desire to own one,

Id be surprised here has experience tuning your car\motor. For 3k i wouldn't bother myself, gains on N\A 1.6L BMW aren't going to be very good.

Same could be said for most std cars on the road. I cant recall ever seeing an old man\woman driving a E38, usually driving the newer BMW's if anything. A stock E30 could be considered an old mans\ woman's car, but lower it and chuck some decent rims on it and it aint anymore, works for many cars. Prius's look ok compared to some of the cars i can think of... Pontiac Aztek comes to mind.

Clearly your Mrs has no idea what an ugly car actually looks like. I prefer a the looks of a E38 with a nice body kit and a little lowering to the E39 equivalent.
