Congrats bro with your new BMW experience...

Drive safe for now..

Have your car checked by a reputable workshop and work on the list he gave you for the car.

Set your priorities base on your budget and urgency of the repair require... MOD is always last on my list

Now that you are done with the E90, I suppose it's time to move on to another baby

Enjoy your modding journey with the E34!

[bmrocket]

Cheers bro Inte..

Latest updates Sifu's..

Just did oil change and put in new oil filter..mechanics report all else seems to look fine :top:

After oil change the "Oil Inspection" warning light went off but the green service indicator dint move back to the far left of the scale..it stayed one click off orange..is this normal?

Also finished my first tank of gas today..managed to get 580kms from fillup to reserve light coming on mainly town driving..does that sound abt rite?
Thats one big mother of a tank! :rock:

 

[bmrocket]

I think i've also worked out who my rides previous owner was..

Bro..u got PM! :listen:

 

[chaiks]

Wah! So fast change the rim. I still like the original rim.

I left all the service receipts/history in the manual leather booklet. Ask from Darren if you don't have it. The car should go on for another 100km without problem. You got the best deal in town, where you don't need to spend a lot of money for wear and tear.

PM me or call me if you near Tropicana for a drink anytime.

Cheers.:top:

P.S. Not sure whether it still have the USB CD player. I still have the remote with me if you want it. FOC.

 

[bmrocket]

Thanks bro chaiks..

No wonder, they must hv changed the rim and upset the alignment. The suspension is in great condition. Like I said in another thread, I can use the same set of tyres for 5 years with proper balancing and alignment. Cos, I only trusted this shop for the past 10 yrs.

I still like the ori rims, if you plan on keeping all 5 of them, might as well send it for refurbishment. I did tried to do 1 at a time, but stop at 1 or 2. Leceh...

Then again, I only clock 50k through out 5 yrs ownership. You'll know the mileage b4 I got it.

Enjoy the ride.

Good one bro 910...
In this instance i can honestly say this 'new' ride is mine :rock:

 

[bmrocket]

Sifu's,

Would i b rite to assume that since my 525i is a 94' model than my engine is the M50B25???

 

[integramania]
