Brent's old 5er from memory.

[BM WORLD 1258]

yup .

and yes it has a pretty much fully rebuilt engine .

hartge head, std cam , valve grind , 10:1 pistons , new rings , bearings etc , gasgets etc .

could do with a remap of teh ecu to get the full benefit of the engine mods

3.45lsd

jamex springs with new bilsteins , full hartge body kit .

(had most of the front , body kit and boot lid repainted etc)

17" by 8" bbs alloys . std exhaust , black leather interior , recaro type sport seats in front which really could do with a redye back to black (was a very dark blue).

i spent a fair bit of money on it a few years ago .

started with a highish spec'd Sth african 535iA with lowish k's (130,000km) and proceded to mod it with all the goodies i had .

Wow. That's nice!

Roughly what fuel economy do these get?

I bet she goes nice! I should have held on to the money from the bike I sold before buying a sensible pile of boredom

That engine put down around 133kw didn't it Brent?

If that had a proper remap done now it should be WELL above that old figure.., buy it back?

Brent did you say it started life as a 535iA?

The guy is stating in the auction that it's a factory manual. Probably doesn't make any difference although if someone really wants a genuine 535iS it might.

yes it was a auto .

i just used the latest and lowest millage car i could find to do the hartge conversion with .

but i used all the manual bits from a e34 535i except i used a lighter e28 type flywheel rather than the bulky dual mass units they normally use .

the car went very well .

i had it on the dyno got about 132kw with a chipped ecu but unfortunatly it pinked a little unless i ran it on 98octane .

so was sold with just a std ecu about 126/8 kw .(normally about 110kw)

but i think with a proper remap (which i was planning to do but then sold the car)

it should get about 140kw

its got a very rare hartge H5Sk head on it .

also a proper hartge body kit etc .

Does anyone know the seller?

Any indication of reserve?

[1rotty 40]

Nice work Brent.
