Tristan 338 Report post Posted June 16, 2014 Some things are best forgotten... The holocaust, those tips... I've got your old M3 tips so hoping to use them and a set of RS4 mufflers. Reckon I can land an entire E39 M5 for around $10-12K from the UK, use the engine, ECU, trans, etc and part the rest. If I do the conversion myself then it won't cost much more (apart from a year or two of my time! haha). Yeh Mike mentioned - Funny where things end up!

vtgts300kw 90 Report post Posted June 16, 2014 sh*t hot. Those tips are laughably bad. And his poor taste extended not just to the tips it seems, why on earth would you repaint it from the original red??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1560 Report post Posted June 16, 2014 I think the red had faded pretty badly... And it was in Hamilton. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1072 Report post Posted June 16, 2014 Slow, thirsty and noisy... Apart from that, amazing!! Haha. Actually it's not bad but doesn't really find it's legs until you're doing 100+. Won't be doing much other than normal maintenance to the engine. Gonna start squirrelling away for an S62 straight away. Maybe you can fit a 318i auto diff for the better acceleration ratio The whine from the poor thing will sound like a supercharger. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
