Hi there fellow Beemer brethren. New the forum, always wanted to join, but never had something worthy off.

Last german car was a prestine 1995 e34 525i, then 2 japs, now finally a tidy e39 525i

Heres some pics of the first day intro for inspection, with no intention of buying, but just for planning.....but guess she had other plans.

I am a technician at P J Automotive & Bridgestone Tyre Center in Mt Roskill by the way,and this was wat the beems was all about:

Welcome Jason! .. So you got that one? haha! I had my eyes and heart set on that for my dad, but you got it before I could offer the chap!

Congratulations and enjoy the ride!

Very clean, same body and wheels as my '96 528i. You have me thinking about lows now, that is a nice height.

Thanks guys . She's truly a jewel(not M3/M5/csl ), but man she rides so smooth.just stiffer with thee lowness, but amazingly comfy.

heres the service sheet that we work with and I plan on going through the whole service in the forum(maybe 3yrs to load pics though )haha.

I also machined the front rotors at work,fitted new pads,bendix premiums,which work great, swopt over front tyres left to right,cos was eating inner,and did an alignment to compensate for the hard camber cos of the drop.documented all with photos.
