Coolant is one side and oil on the other so something will be sealing it to the bracket, maybe this mount plate you are talking about or maybe BMW plastic failure. A pressure test would confirm exactly where without fuss, or you could try cleaning the area up, get the car up to temp and check, if you don't see anything, let it cool down for a bit and check again.

I maybe getting mixed up with another one he used to have (possibly black or blue) or someone elses.

Yeah i believe it was re bodied but i've seen it in the flesh a couple of times years ago and its very tidy. Its the brother of Simon's Techno Violet one which had done over 400,000 last time i saw it. I wager the reserve is in the 15k-20k region. One of the last truly reliable BMW's for sure.

M50 and M52 should all bolt up the same, there's probably a slight improve in the M52 system over the M50, replacing old cast iron manifold is always a plus. I dont what version or region of M50 you have, it may or may not have used O2 sensors, either way they can be used or removed and the holes plugged if not required.

+1. All the main carriers have always handled GST, they just collect it on everything now.

Ebay are now collecting gst on goods it seems

I think your car looks better though

Should join onto the intake boot, probably a right angle fitting or something which provides the link between the 2

Finding the factory kit is most of the challenge, all the converted 6 cylinder ones ive seen had corners cut. Easiest way to get a proper manual E39 is buy an M5, there's always one available it seems.

Found a wrecked msport and finally swapped over all the interior to spec, first and last type of job i think. The car was identical spec to @Autoglym one, born 3 days before even. It came with BMW individual interior that included extended leather option (leather door handles and center console) as well as the sliding arm rest and ski bag. Also got a spare msport bumper now and a bunch of spares which is always a good thing as these things are getting on now. Will be swapping back on my old wheel once i get some alloy trim to replace the wood, always preferred the thinner type and BMW changed the wiring setup so you cant plug in half the wheel controls with my car Certainly come along way from what it was

Anyone want them? Near perfect condition. Would be a shame to have to dump

Still very usable. The rubber in still soft but has come away from the serrated ends a couple of them, can be glued etc, which someone has already done to one of them. I may of broke a nub on one of them when i removed it. The rest of the clips look to be intact. Eye watering expensive to replace new but im happy to take $120 on here

Same. Ive always preferred none on the msport but think the model badge suits the non sports. Saw you Greenwood street today hunter, i think you should get 540i badge also match your plate haha.

Yeah i think M5 had Titanium Silver which has a more deeper textured finish, this is flatter and lighter coloured that you'd believe was wrapped until you touched it.

It's high quality, that all you need to know.

Micksgarage also have Brembos on special. Plenty of reputable rotor brands out there that will do the job just fine, you will be replacing them again before you know anyway given the terrible thickness spec.

Yeah should be ok. Probably worth bring your own containers\boxes etc as its not very well organised and boxes are quite old and getting weak. We can sort the finer details out via PM.

Its all come down from my parents attic but yeah should be able to find some space elsewhere to put it temporary. Are we talking 2nd week of December?

No longer needed and not really worth attempting to sell it Must pickup in Hamilton and take the lot All sorts of stuff, not going but list all individually but some of the main things are - M30 ECU, brake calipers, alternator, starter motor IKHA modules and fan resistor, heater valve, instrument clusters, relays, interior trims pieces such as door seals, seat belts seat trims, headlight parts, taillights, fog lights,indicator lens, wiper and linkages\motor, heater core, various hoses etc Also a manual rear sunshade if someone wants to buy it. Have the original parcel shelf for the template cutout but cant find the hooks which go on the headlining but easy to make up your own.

Pulled from genuine msport. Unfortunately middle section was broken off the plastic surround so will need to be glued if used, missing the ashtray cover obviously and has some creases as shown. Other bits are in good condition but have may the odd clip missing here and there. Don't really know what they are worth exactly but $70 seems reasonable?

Looks like my old colour which was Delphine Metallic (Dolphin Grey). Far more and better colour choices those days.

You can get your own advanced BMW scanning capabilities for the price of an old laptop (<$150) a $30 cable and some downloadable software. INPA will do do most of what you want and isnt too hard to operate. BMW scanner 1.4 is also good for a quick full system scans and quick reprogramming

Certainty not limited by area. I've seen many people cause some hefty damage in my rear view over the years. When they hit someone else is when it becomes a bit unpleasant.

Non xenon. Off a 2002 530i Msport

SOLD Lens are in good nick but adjusters need replacing. Can supply wiring for PFL car conversion. $150
