jeffbebe 1560 Report post Posted May 26, 2013 Car looks really tidy aye! But I gotta say looking from behind it really does need the euro boot!Too late. The euro boot's gone to Featherston with the 528. The US boot has really grown on me actually, gives the rear of the car a very different look.And damn.. The power! I could almost feel it following behind you.. That pulling power is crazy! I can tell how much of a difference it would be coming from a 528 as I drove my dads 528 before. Worlds apart isn't it hahaToo right. They might look the same on the outside but the V8's got some serious toe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted May 26, 2013 well.. whats done is done, if you like it, then you like it. haha it doesnt look bad at all, just got used to looking at the euro boot, maybe a nice p-plate?? but yep.. the m52b28 has nothing on the v8, not that its bad but just a different level.. it seems like youre really enjoying the car! (confession: always thought the bbs rs2 wheels looked really odd but seeing it in real life, its totally awesome.. and suits the car so well.. and can see how the refurb has paid off.. way too clean) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, definitely suits the E39. Now I know your car I'll stop and say hi next time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted May 27, 2013 Bacon tyres, when you do a burnout it smells like bacon. Spotted a grubby M-Coupe last week, I still think they are awesome, was a modern day classic amongst the vanilla cars that made up the rush traffic on the southern motorway northbound. M-Coupe = Future collectible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M-Coupe = Future collectible. Was it a black one? If so, there's one in particular I spy around AKL cbd a bit. It's on a heap of K's, dinged up and it looked like the rings needed doing last time I saw it. That was about 3 months ago however, so he may have sorted it out... who knows. Future collectible - yes. But probably not that one. Sorry if you're on here, just calling it how I see it. On the other hand, there's a nice looking yellow one I've spied around the shore a bit.

Mine (Silver, now 20,047kms) pic taken at Show and Shine organised by Brian (Cosmos) in Jan 2011. Had it out today giving it a Groom and lap of the Silverdale/Dairy Flat test circuit.The black one is used daily and is sadly neglected. Another black M Coupe lives on the Shore ,driven by an elderly lady, also with high K`s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1072 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Saw an early E39 parked in a paddock at Kaukapakapa yesterday. No pic though - dash cam has turned off It's gone absolutely straight off a corner, cleared a huge drain taken out fence and stopped. Wheels still straight ahead...

But I my Estoril. If it's the one on factory 18's, it sits near the Lamborghini dealer most days, well it used to. Not sure what wheels it sits on but can't imagine there are many LSBs in Auckland.
