Nope,its right,
It is a 525 sport-but its very special to me-lol Looks like an M5 though-Total BMW mag has asked if they can do an article on it which is great.
Maybe see you march timeish.

I thought it was a 535 sport you were looking at - was it a bad'un so you went for the 2.5 instead. Should see you in March Paul ------------- 95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |

Paul, Is your mate after thr throwing stars like what are currently on your car? If he does I think I know where a set of them are for sale. I'm getting itchy to part with some money already for some new wheels Paul ------------- 95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |
Posted By: paulfinucane
Date Posted: 05-January-2006 at 11:02
|
its really turbines he wants but the basic wheel is the same & its only the covers that need changing.
maybe he would consider throwing stars until turbines come along if they are good condition & the price is right.

No!!!! You drive an E36 3-Series, which has a completely different wheel offset to the E28/E24 5-Series. If you tried to fit 5-Series wheels to your Three, you might need Carlos Fandango-style wheelarch extensions and might also find that your suspension doesn't last long!! -------------

yep-its now on a buy it now @ £800.00 but I reckon he would take a bit less.

My turn for an excuse why i wasnt there now I had a new thermostat fitted on friday and all was well when i checked the level of the coolant on sat morning it had gone down a bit so thought ok maybe air has found its way into the bottle and the level has dropped,fairly normal i think?
