I haven’t seen the car in 2 months. It’s been at a specialist for a full check over as it’s 30 years old and I want to put my family in in safely. its had some welding and awaiting fuel Pipe replacements and then hopefully will be back in a week or two. In the mean time today I discovered two easy steps to get your misses in a mood with you. Step 1. Drive off with an empty trailer. Step two return a few hours later with a full trailer ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/pauly22/d63bb71b08ff.jpg) Sport bumpers, m5 kick plates, m parallel wheels and bilstein shocks plus loads of other good stuff I can sell on and keep all the good bits for the touring.

Good work with that, looks like it will be a useful garage for not too much cost.

I had a 320ci in about 2012. Kept it a, couple of years, was great, Yours looks good, sun roof is nice to have, steering wheel re trim by royal steering wheels will finish off the interior and the satin chrome dial surrounds off eBay give the dials a lift along with a light up gear knob,

Hi I’ve got a set of 4 staggered Pontiac fiero gt wheels. Need refurbishment but look to have very little kerb damage if any at all Might fit others with adaptors etc. Hoping for £120 but open to offers. Collection from a GL18 postcode. Or can possible post with paisley freight. Which I think is about £40-50 Thanks Paul.

Personally, to match that design and stagger. That’s some good car knowledge, when I collect the wheels the seller was there and he told me Pontiac fiero GT wheels.

Saw a set of wheels at a local auction house put in a bit and won, But I have no idea what they are from I’ll collect them tomorrow so only have a photo of them off the auction. Any ideas on what they are off? I’m hoping there will be some markings on them when I get them to help Thanks. Paul.

Been a while Bought a new house last year, and fed up of using a push mower, I’ve fitted a deck, painted and refitted all the front, just need to get a new petrol tank and pipes, fix two flat tyres and might be able to use it to cut the grass, bought it before my son was born, he starts school in September so about time I did something with it. Still have three mowers, one is rotten and the other one my son says it’s his and want to repaint it

Had a day on the car yesterday. Switched rear bumpers so no more tow bar and fitted the USA marker lights. I wanted the marker lights on my 1st e34 10+ years ago but never did it. So glad I have. Love how they look The USA trim was a smooth finish and my current stuff was textured so ordered a new rear bumper strip and front number plate trim. Didn’t realise until I fitted it, it’s a USA size plate holder too. So need to see if they can get a uk plate trim in smooth finish.

The calipers may flex less, which could give the advantage mind you to them, and the unsprung weight may be better, depending on the material of them. I say about the flex, from something adam73bgt mentioned a while ago, as well as some folks using Boxster calipers on E46 M3s, but with almost everyone being happy with the result, despite the caliper piston area being smaller! As the OPs list has caliper adapter brackets listed, it'll be aluminium 728i ones, which are very lightweight, but have tiny little pistons in them so the surface area is low, but with the big gaps in the parallels, a bigger brake caliper does stand out well. It'll be lost behind throwing stars though! The colour is a good shout if you do go M5 replica later. My old Avus Blue 540iT/6 was easily mistaken for an M5 with just some grey accents... Personally I'd enjoy the M50 you have, and avoid an S engine which doesn't have the necessary torque for the heavier 5 series. But, your car, your choice. But then, I don't like them anyway - just brought an M3 Evo in today for breaking and I let the youngest member of staff drive it back and even he thought it was gutless, and less low end pull than his E92 320d. One tip by the way, get on to BMW and order yourself a diagnostics cap from an early E39. They are resistor-protected, but the E34 one isn't and more and more lately there's been instances of E34s catching fire because of a constant live to the port burning out behind-dash plugs & wires. The plan is sport bumpers with dolphin grey bits added, are you willswheels in Ireland, as it popped up on my Facebook they had a m3 in for breaking in the last day or two. Engine wise it’s up in the air, I want to get all the body and interior done before that, Can't remember exact sizes, but the e39 4 pots have the same total piston areas as the 540 single pot calipers, so no more clamping force but they do look cool. They are the same piston size as Audi A8 4 pots too,. only factory 4 pots with bigger pistons are some Lexus ones that I think are 44 dia each. All porsche 4 pots have less clamping force, so there is a lot of nonsense on some forums the e39 530/40 calipers are monsters, well up to the job if all in good order Yeah, I’ve gone for the brembos partly because they look a bit more special through the wheels, painted the silver the other day but might change to black will look less scruffy in black
