She was collected on Monday night , passed her MOT on Tuesday and is due a damn good pampering between now and our Ring trip this April .

The seller apparently has the original turbine covers in his shed for me ..... I'll believe it when I see it !

The clear side repeaters are due in at BMW tomorrow , along with S50B32 Tensioner , rear axle beam bushes , air/oil filter , Upper and lower control arms , arb drop links , tie rod ends , Bosch Y6DC plugs and the Silkolene Pro S 5w40 oil has been sitting in the garage for the best part of a year now , so that's going in too , as there is no way I am putting that into my wife's E46 !

Leave the covers off, Dave - it looks more 'street' !

Looking foward to hopefully giving it a 'run for it's money' in April................

Hopefully......

There's a first time for everything Danny Boy ! Grey is the new blue !

Tel , after some of the laps you put in on our last trip , I would just be happy to not get lapped by you !

Looks very nice, the grey is lovely.What is the mileage and general condition?

It has a Northern Ireland registration, was she bought new in Ireland.

Looks great with no boot spoiler, if you could get your hands on the original turbine wheel covers,it would look fantastic.

I am getting to like the E34 more and more each day.

Best of luck with her, Is this one a keeper?

Thanks Bayerische .

She has always been a UK car , production Feb 91 . The po got the plate with an old Rover that he bought and transferred it onto Sebring Sienna upon selling the Rover .

They are all keepers until something more exciting comes along and one should never say never , although I could be quoted as saying that I will definitely be keeping this one !:wroom:

Right! you will be held to that.

The E34 M5 has really been growing on me lately and I have been toying with the Idea of joining the club, I just don't know if I can justify buying another car.

One question, and I don't mean to hijack you post David, do most 3.6 owners replace the rear self leveling suspension system with a standard and less problematic suspension?

I personally won't .....Mauritius Maria ( my former 3.6 ) had sls and handled great .

Equally , I have had a LHD 3.6 that had adjustable Koni's and , whilst a touch firmer , that handled great too !

Bayerische , the way you look after your cars , I don't envisage the standard sls becoming a problem for you .

Maybe other members may care to comment .

I know that Sebring NL knows an awful lot about these cars and he is maintaining the sls on his 3.6 !

The SLS on Sebring's Sebring was binned quite a while ago. It runs Koni - Eibach....

Was it deleted through choice Stevie or would he have kept it , given the choice ?
our Ring trip this April .



A ring trip in April you say?

Mr D_T_W and myself are planning a Euro trip at that very same time with a day at the 'ring.

Possible meet up on the cards?
M8 , you would be more than welcome .

We are going on the 5th and 6th of April . It would be a great opportunity to put some faces to names .

p.m. me if you'd like my mobile number to discuss further .

:thumbsup:

I shall run it past mr D_T_W as he's got all the dates etc.
nice

please put turbine covers on

OEM SLS replacement is cheapest option. when deleting bear in mind that Koni/Eibach combo costs well over € 1k and the PAS pump needs to be altered.

For those who suggest leaving the lines in place, have it your way.

For those suggesting a 535i pump fits, have it your way up your arse.
Wout ......

You are the greatest !
Nice car Davy Boy...

Another gem has been unearthed in seems.
Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh real soon.

Defo get those turbines on, hardly see any cars these days wearing them(thats uk cars that i see, before everyone starts stating they have em!).

Enjoy and don't over polish the thing!

hiha
Beautiful looking car David

I second the turbines option, they are a great looking wheel, real stealthy.

Best regards

Andy
Let's hope that he can find those bloody covers !
