  1. Not sure myself but sure im a google search would yield results.
  2. Didn't stop me driving but mine was only for 28 days from going 41kph over during overtaking.
  3. Like hotwire has said you need a Euro radio tuner\module like a BM24. Replace it with the one in the back of the boot and you done or swap in an aftermarket unit like Dynavin or similar.
  4. My 3 ton powerbuilt i bought in '04 has served me flawlessly.

    Quick Questions

    BNT do redline. If its just a std open diff then any decent branded 75w-90 would be fine.
  6. Blue interior remindes me of a japanese ricer, couldnt live with it myself.
  7. Pretty sure it was always 30k
  8. Certain models in the future i think will be. It is the last BMW build that had the classic BMW styling with good build quality and lower production numbers.
  9. Just needs a manual box and it would be perfect.
  10. Sure its old but id put money it on not breaking over alot of newer models.
  11. Haha thanks Mark but i was just merely stating the reality which most people have agreed on.
  12. Every E34 ive had or measured had the same bars diameter bars, 23mm F and 15mm R. I think bigger option swaybars were a rare option on a non M car.
  13. Thats pretty bad. Most o-ring suppliers would be able to measure them probably stock them too. Ive got plenty lying around too as do alot of people.
  14. No they don't meet my definition of rare at all, a BMW E9 for example would be a rare BMW to me. If by your definition very very different=having more options ticked, a few extras and a different motor then fine but it doesn't to me. I have driven one not that even matters here. Sounds like you should just buy it yourself since your clearly so gay for them.
  15. 540i uses a V 302 x 28 for front and V 300 x 20 for rear. Rear rotors were $300 for aftermarkets last time i priced them up.
  16. So how exactly is a 740i completely different 750i? Ones just a higher spec'd version with more features and extra cylinders. My original point was its pricing which most people would agree on, maybe he's flexible on price i dont know. Its one of those cases where someone is selling a good example in the hope someone who really likes\wants a one doesn't care about paying more for it. As above 750iL's themselves aren't that rare or that sort after, that's a fact and the reason why i commented in the first place.
  17. Since your planning on doing quite a bit id recommend getting a set of M5 sway bars, it's good noticeable upgrade that doesn't cost too much.
  18. Yeah considering a new one is $60 more.
  19. What sort of diff ratio is it running?. I remember my '92 750il pulled alot better with a 3.64(iirc) than my mates '89 750i with a 3.07 or something similar.
  20. To me the Audi has quite a similar setup to the E39 while looking a bit more modern, i like both of them being a classic layout compared to a lot modern ugliness. I don't know about the Audi but the E39 is plenty comfortable for me, those Audi bucket seats do look like they give good support though. I think they are quite similar with the Audi being seemingly more civilized, refined practical performance and the BMW having the more traditional driving pleasure\performance.
  21. Ive had no issues either and good lifespan so i zero benefit for me buying expensive pieces of steel. Ive never had any BMW rotors machined as they are just too thin as Michael has said and cheap to buy anyway. 540i front rotors are alot cheap than rears.

    Quick Questions

    I never measured mine but yeah most E34 ive have had slight variations, iirc wouldnt have been much more than ~10mm thou. Different thickness spring pads can help even up things.
  23. Yep glad some people what im talking about and it was regarding motorcycles which i thought was clear.
