Grant 4 Report post Posted July 25, 2004 Where was that photo taken? Not the BMWCC Driver Training in Taupo earlier this year was it? If so, then the E30 in the background is me. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saintlucifa 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Your E34 535i will be putting out far more HP than 211hp if it is fitted with a Hartge engine. And will most certainly handle alot better than the older models. The side and rear apron spoilers appear to be M-Tech items... Is this a Motorsport model? Manual 5speed? Sure looks very nice indeed.

Grant 4 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 yes thats taupo driver training bmw car club . you guys going to pukekohe driver training Yup, I'll be there, sent my entry in a week or so ago.And that is definately me in the background, I remember it well, between you and me (and out of photo) is a silver 2002. As I remember we were all being held up by a red E34 driven by a lady who was rather (understandable in the conditions) cautious in her driving.

Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 haha yeah i remember that day quite well... would you happen to have been coming thru that corner sideways behind my 325i at one stage that afternoon??/ A few times i came thru that corner with my ass and nose pointing to either cone!! and i remember bringing it back under control, looking into my rear view mirror and seeing a dirty great E34 hanging it out in similar fashion!!! was that your one??? and Grant, I remember that other E34 holding us up, she had an instructor in there showing her the best lines and stuff.... I was stuck directly behind her!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1286 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 yea ,not much fun at taupo been held up by slow cars . I was having fun doing full lock and power and evrey time it would just straighten up . the HP of the hartge engine is surpose to be 170kw 240HP 320Nm . but i couldn't fit the extractors in (came from a left hook 635i out of japan). probably about 230HP when all is good ,but I'm going to do the block upgarde soon ,getting an old 10:1 compression 3.5L ,cause this one has only got 9.2:1 compression pistons ,and the rings are old and saggey and it has sctraches in the bore .yes its a 5spd the body kit is genuine HARTGE ,has hartge logos on the front ,sides and spoiler .the rear apron is a copy of the M5 one .the guy i broughtit from didn't know what it was ,he had advertised it as a momo body kit . the suspension is hartge spec as well i think handles excellent. my friends E28 M535i handles pretty good ,close to mine a bit lighter and its had a shrik cam and some porting done (pretty quick). check out my web site . http://www.cardomain.com/id/greyhartgeMy Webpage story Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
