Eagle

60k sounds like a figure they sold it for in their dreams

Believe it was through Autolign, at the time i just specified what springs i had and just wanted the setup to be a bit more livable on the road. I never used B8's are std, i got them revalved after removing the B6's that i bought instead of B8's. H&R springs aren't known for great for ride quality either. E24 should ride better than an E30 either way.

Not my thing but its the E12 suspension design so maybe not to worse thing you could do to it. Yeah looks tidy on the outside but no mention of any other work done and too many wanky exterior photos with little else.

Single din headunits with those fascias always look out of place on BMW's. The way @qube did it for his E39 was ok though. Id just get a dynavin etc clone and be done with it, they are only a couple of hundred more and have much many more features, even if dont use all of it its surely helps when you sell the car.

Yeah ive heard people getting picked up now for non factory LED driving lights. Ive got 5W LED's in my high beam halos, pretty much matched to the factory xenon low beam halo, you'd never know they weren't factory from the outside. I get my WOF for free atm so wouldnt fail on it but id just swap them back after the WOF if i was ever in the situation. Yeah that why i hate driving at night, so much light pollution these days esp with rain, it's much worse when you on a motorcycle. You don't even need low beams in the city at night to see.

FCP with Fedex for 2x E39 front struts and 2x rear shocks was $100 USD, It was $60 USD if shipping them as pairs. I use Youshop when their charges get a bit excessive for smaller items and i dont mind waiting. They were going to charge for $50 USD to ship a front wheel bearing at a few little connectors and seals, Youshop was $50 NZD with the 5-9 day and $37 iirc for 7-14 day.

Would think they would have better rates on the newer model parts as they would be more likely to stock them?. Part of the issue is not having any options when using a dealer, ie you can buy the same OE part from a supplier for much cheaper a lot of the time.

Depends on who you ask. Personally i always do strut mounts, followed by bump stops and dust boots if perished, some times the lower spring pad if it looks deformed but i re-use everything else.

Suppose to come down to your definition. To me its a bit like smoking, there is a push to reduce fossil fuel consumption but i wouldn't say the industry is going to die out anytime soon, It's likely going loose market dominance in certain segments over time as other tech evolves, specially if taxation side makes it favorable to own something else. Those with money will likely be far better off and usual and could pick and choose. Modern engine advancement seems to be all about ringing out the rag to need emission targets, doing more with less, even when there are break through's its always at the expense of something else, we all know most things these days are build to a certain lifespan.

Much depends on how thorough you want it done too, replacing old seals, shifter bushings, clutch and drive line components etc will increase the cost but certainly provides many benefits. Like most things you get what you pay for.

I like it. As much as i love petrol engines they are on the way out and will go EV for a daily as soon as its more viable. The E30 wouldn't be my first choice but you could do much worse and it still looks better most EV's ever will. I'm sure ill end of doing a conversion in the future on something in the 90's era, which would be provide a good balance.

Im talking unplugging the wiring here

Tried running with the MAF disconnected>?

That's an easy one and they already know how to do it - engine noise via speakers

Get enough people complaining to tardme and they may add a DCT\SMG category. Knowing them im sure they would happily add it if they thought it would generate more income.

Yeah always a good thing when they live on in another chassis instead of gutted for organs like what happened to Jocks old car. I made the guy pay for that privilege of buying that one haha.

Probably a desperate attempt to try and make people look a car no one wants to see or cares about.

Yeah id say red interior + service history but poor and pointless photos(such as #9) don't exactly inspire the wallet to open either.

I'm sure the E39 on wards would have had much higher production numbers, can't exactly crank out hand built motors after all. 90's was when other manufacturers were catching up and they started to go more mainstream appeal.

Or more likely pay enough as trying hard doesn't help when certain parts or cars are rarely available.

Certainly take a electric motor over a turbo charger

So he got it tinted before the PPI?. Either way tell him to lay off the gear.

Is it just me who's really struggling to understand this situation. Getting the car tinted when you dont even own it yet?

Nope but there's blue one in Hamilton ive seen now and again over many years.
