Eagle 1661 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 ZHP gear knobs are sweet, i got them on both my cars now. Added AUX thru CD changer on the E39, sounds decent for a stock system and gotta be better than those tape convertors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 The Alpina E31!! I was thinking that too. Is there any performance benefit with those I wonder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 The short answer is yes... Wiki says this: BMW tuner Alpina produced a special version of the 8 Series dubbed the B12. Two versions were produced, both taken from the standard production line. B12 5.0 Coupe was based on the 850i, powered by the 5.0-liter M70 engine producing 350 bhp (261 kW; 355 PS), and available only with a 4-speed automatic gearbox. B12 5.7 Coupe was based on the 850CSi, with the 5.7-litre S70 engine producing 416 bhp (310 kW; 422 PS) with a 6-speed manual gearbox. If it's the B12 5.7 it would be epic!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rest came up a charm and looks great . Well done, mate. Wrapping is very labour intensive .. I need to re-do one piece and I just can't bring myself to do it again yet.

KwS 2421 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Andy, just read through your latest updates on the V12 E34..... all i have to say is that i love your car! Really makes me want to buy an E34 touring, but its hard to settle for a boring grey/green one when yours is such a delish colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Ahhhh! first subframe cracks appearing, Left side rear mount. Oh well, a good excuse to NOT drive it for a change, get it repaired when I do the exhaust system welding. It will also give me the chance to swap in the upgraded 328i subframe assembly & suspension Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
