I think you will regret putting Munroes in, they're a horrible shock. I dont know who else stock Boge but id give SAS a call (09) 444 1390 as see what some boge shocks would cost you if you want an OEM ride. They gave a real good deal on Boge's for my E38 which ending up being cheaper than getting them overseas and way cheaper than some KYB's i was pricing up locally.

Ive been using it for years with good results

Don't see the point of upgrading if you dont need or want to. The E38\E39 has enough tech for me without getting too complex\more things to go wrong and looks better. Ive plenty of use out of my 7 on long trips and while i dont know about new generations but E38 and previous generations is pretty sure the same as the 5's

I know E32 740i have a 24mm front bar but dont think it would do alot. Will get one overseas if i have to as whiteline dont seem to do fronts anymore.

Yes also some E34's with mtech suspension had a 25mm front and i believe E32's could of been optioned with a 26mm front bar

Sounds like water on the belt to me assuming it only happens once

Needs to be at least 25mm+

Lost mine for E34 once. Went to the dealer with chassis number and proof of ownership, got the key mold number then took to a local key cutter who can cut bmw keys. Thats all assuming you got the original locks and ignition in the car

More the better

Haha no i dont think so but my previous 535i has 530k on it. There are plenty of E34's etc in the states pushing big mileage numbers so its only really high for nz.

It does indeed

Now on trademe for $1 Reserve

The bushings are a pita to press out so unless you have new arms it would be more cost effective to buy new arms with the bushing installed.

I did find some with the 750i part number(31-12-1-136-607 'Green') but they're german aftermarket ones that look like E34 535i,530 & 540i ones(31-12-1-139-456)

With 330bhp @ the wheels this thing should be able to take on an E39 M5

Too bad you are in the sth island as ive got a mint pair of those rear seats sitting in my dump pile

I think i have a pair of 750i bushings lying around. Will check tomorrow

Manual conversion time

Haha pretty much but im inquiring for a mate this time.

PM'd

Most 535is ive seen over the years go for around 5k unless its a real minter. Was a white one just on tm a few days ago which looked pretty tidy with a buynow of 5k which was withdrawn(guessing someone purchased it)

I used a PFL block on my FL 325i with all the original FL components. Don't remember having any issues. I think PRL block was 9.5 CR compared to 8.8 CR on FL iirc

I think i may have a spare set(NZ flags instead of M colours). Will have to check

What happens when you try to put a bandage on something using a known rubbish brand. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-508771751.htm
