Hope this works

Cheers

Ps my ecu number matches yours.  Would you be interested in selling me a copy of the chip Miles

I will try to figure out how to post pics better tomorrow. Not used to geocities.  Had my own website before on netscapeonline that is now non-existant and never bothered trying to upload it again. I will set it up again soon when I get the time and put lots of my car pics on it.

Just quickly tried to have a look but unfortunately I couldn't loosen the final screw  Will have a look over the weekend after I've bought a proper screwdriver.  Have you fitted yours yet ?  If so, was there any noticeable difference ?

Cheers Miles - will post some pics up at the weekend. 

Do you know if there is a quick and easy way of finding out which ECU I've got ?

Cheers,

Hello,

Another person here who's recently acquired a E34 525i Sport .  Saw the silver one above on ebay and was about to arrange a viewing until a black one appeared on ebay a day later which was closer to home - me being a lazy git decided to view that one first and bought it on the spot.  It's identical to the one above except it's black with a black leather interior. 

Gonna give it a full service in a couple of weeks and get the steering box adjusted.  Need to source some 17" alloys now,  saw some nice Hartge's on ebay.de but unfortunately he wasn't willing to ship to the UK

Miles, where did you get you performance chip from ?

Cheers,

Talat.

Nice car,

I spent over 6 months looking for a Sport here in Northern Ireland and ended up with a '92 Sport (looks the same as miles) FBMSH no signs of repairs 120000 miles, Sport cloth seats, spoilers etc.  Looks beautiful when its cleaned up, I love it.

Now the down side, I have rust round my petrol cap, on the sill at the passenger door and its starting to appear in other areas, wheel arches etc.  On close inspection I'm sure the car has never been painted.  The shocks in the front are completely gone

So my wish list includes Bilstein suspension kit, mod chip, good quality wheels & some way of getting rid of the rust ..  Scared of someone making a mess.

The car is a beauty to drive, sounds great, my wife and I are proud of it.  I spend hours reading various forums and look foreward to sharing some pics in the future.

Cheers

Andrew

It looks very nice indeed.

Glad you got what you wanted in the end, although mine isnt the sport, just the standard 525i SE it doesnt look too different, interior excepted.

If your going to use main dealers for parts, I'd advise you join the club first and enjoy what discounts you can get.

Another dam good buy would be the bentley manual, I've found it to be invaluable, club book man is John Drake 01590 645623, http://www.johnsmodelcars.co.uk

Again a 10% discount to club members, I think mine was about £50 delivered to my door, the haynes one for our cars is just about useless to be honest.
