Alaska Blue E36 328i

There is a gap but not a train smash buddy, its punishment for putting sound in the cab...LOL. Wonder if the cubbie thing is curable on the E36 as i came across no 1 who cud solve this issue after removing it!

LoL my father told me the same thing, its the sound that broke it :lmoa:

I've tried almost everything, put in a new spring & button, nothing helps. Thinking of swaping it for a complete new unit.

So I've been searching high & low for contours & came up with nothing Decided to rather have the M5 reps refurbished & on Monday I got my merchandise back from Hi Tech Mag Repairs

So far I'm quite impressed with their work, rims are looking awesome but theres one problem, it didn't come back the same colour as it went in. As far as I know, original e39 M5 rims were shadow chrome coated that had a mirror like finish. At present the rims looks like satin silver :mmm: but tomorrow somebody from Hi Tech is coming to meet me to have it checked out...

yes originals do look different. it is quite the bitch to spray I have heard as it needs different undercoats and that has to be baked before the top layer can go on.

Had my stickers for quite some time but finally decided to put it on Saturday & may I say it looks awesome could immediately feel the extra 10kw & gave couple windgats a lesson or two on the highway :rofl:

Many thanks to twincam nc, Sabretooth Tiger & ///MALCOM325 :thumbsup: Thanks guys for everything....

I would say put one of the wheels on the car first and see what is looks like, maybe you will like the new colour.

You read my mind Sank I'm having second thoughts about the colour now, think I might stick with what I have....

Wow its been more then a year since I last posted here :mmm:

I left my car with Gizmo for a few days to sort out a list of things like radiator, handbrake, gearbox oil, diff oil, throttle cable, power steering pipes and control arms to name a few. With regards to control arms and poly bushes supplied by Moranor, the ride is slightly firmer but hardly noticable and the handling is a lot stiffer.

Its now more then 2 weeks since I got my car back from Gizmo and theres not a single drop of oil in the garage, he did an excellent job and the best part he didnt charge an arm or a leg :thumb: Next on my list to do things is thermostat, viscous fan and ICV.

I would like to thank Moranor and Gizmo for their excellent service and advice and would recommend them to anyone on the forum....

Thanks guys :clap:

PS: how do I upload pics bigger then 5mb ? My S4 takes high res pics....

 

[ver328i]

[Doomsdaya]

what poly bushes did you get?
