Introducing Me

[Geraaz]

Hi guys

My Name is Shiraz.

I'm new to the world of Pure Driving Pleasure, but loving each day of it....

I was a huge fan of the VAG stable until I got my current car, '97 E39 540i P auto.

Below are some pis i took of the car a few months ago, don't have recent pics though.

Until recent all went well until about a month ago, when all the sudden the car started missing, took it a to a few guys with no luck, after some investigating found the problem to be a bent valve or 2 or 3 (still investigating)

I need some help from the guys that actually know whats going on, I actually need a Mech that can help me bring this beast back to his glory.....is there anyone or any direction I can be pointed to, to help my life story out.

The old pics

Welcome to the forum. Lovely ride and glad you came to your senses, replacing a VAG with an E39 raise:

@ Nikhil - Thank you Thank you

@ChefDJ - Thats the whole plan, just need some help with the wrenching part, other than that, its not going anywhere anytime, and funny thing is it was actually my wife's idea to the get the car, all i can say is have not looked back ever since.
