Car now ready for MOT, slight oil leak to sort before I put her back on the road though..

Also wheel update:

17" e34 m5 throwing stars staggered set up

Dropping them off tomorrow to get the full works... polished lips.. grey centres new bolts and badges

Keeping the sunflowers on her for a while... currently looking a spare rear throwing star 17x9j and a rear sunflower. Must be genuine if anyone knows of either as a single

I have a list as long as my arm for future work.. but will keep updating as I go along.

Unfortunately failed on p/s ball joint but new wishbone ordered with JKC

Also ordered a few extras with Jkc: throttle cable, and return pipe for power steering don't like the look of the diy repair someone has done which was leaking.

Also wishbone replaced as well as ball joint had excessive wear.

And that's her ready for mot retest so should breeze through now

Just need to fit the new throttle cable when I get a chance next week. Don't really need it but took a notion to replace it

Throwing stars think they are style 21 on a 36 = win
I'm a big fan of style style 66 on them too.
Your so lucky

Yea I reckon I have the best two wheels for the e36 now, I was going to get a set of ac splits or Hartge rims but think these are a winner for me for now

Thanks gents... love them on... bud also love the sunflowers... sending the sunflowers off for a full refurb soon too.

Anyone run the 3.2 coil packs on the 3.0 engine, mine has them and sometimes she runs smooth and other times she's hesitant when warm.

Need to get her on diagnostics to check
