I would leave mine auto but give it some stance! Some nice exhausts and pimp about! Where abouts are you in somerset?
Still not MOT'd been having a nightmare with plastic radiator end tanks snapping off, split fuel tank and various waterpump woes - but we're all fixed up and back on track now! will be at oct 23rd DWYB ongoing projects = making adjustable rear arms - why did i pick a car that no one makes anything for! NB: rear isnt at final ride height!
nice work! love it, Do the e38s and E39s share rear axles? Im gonna knock up some rear adjustable arms over the winter.
the rear toe arm is shared, but the camber arm and the wishbone/lower arm aren't. Subframe isn't either, so the mounting / geometry of said arm is prob different too!
Awesome car mate... Got me searching through classifieds for one I'm local too, so will hopefully see this pimpin' about...
Been a while since an update. Went to pod, and been to mallory twice, second time on thurs just gone, where I had an off and bent the subframe and broke a driveshaft, so not a mint day. Car is now up in air, and new subframe and shafts going on this week. Whilst exhaust is off, I will decat it, and prob split into sections as in stock form it's one piece from manifolds to rear bumper! Went to a rolling road and it made more than is quoted standard, so happy with that, there's a rumour that bm were lying at the time about power, to keep people buying the archaic 750i, who knows. . . . I'l go back after the decat to see if it's made a difference.
Good work! I'm so glad you've still got it and are pimping it around! Pity about the subframe etc, but it's the problems with sports - things happen!
