E60 M5 V10

Not an awesome find! LoL It costs $$$ At least diagnostics nailed it 100%

This is what is arriving

Ended up paying around R5k with shipping :shocked:

However on the positive side I've managed to get an identical set made for R6k which I'll use for testing and then if there is enough interest I can have more made at a discounted price.

The first batch is pricey due to the setup involved but I think I can get subsequent sets made (4 gears total - 2per actuator) For around R3k a set :joy:

Ok... Meant excellent work in finding the root cause of the problem first time!

amazing that these issues were not sorted by BMW, i guess they expect them to break out of motorplan

Changed the fuel filter today. Was a bit more work than anticipated but well worth the peace of mind

Only thing that hasn't been done is de-limit the top speed. If there's time to do that before it's sold then score to the new owner.

Haha I also never thought it would happen so soon. I just don't get why such great cars go for so little money these days. I mean its an E60 M5 not some VW Polo BlueMotion.
