It's been a while so thought I would check in with my new purchase 1998 E39 523i Touring.
Man that bus is comfortable.

Re: Bad Times
I have been driving for over twenty years and never had so much as a scratch in that time, until yesterday that is. Wet road, on a hill and the woman in front broke sharply and I just slid on in. I'm so gutted. Now I need to get my baby fixed. Anyone got any recommendations for a London based body s...

Re: K&N 57i induction kit (worth it or not?)
I fitted a Speedtouch mild chip a couple of months ago and I was impressed, that's how this all started with the induction kit thing, I was talking to a mate about fitting the chip and he told me that an induction kit was the way to go, he's a bit of a boy racer with a stripped out Clio Cup. But aft...

K&N 57i induction kit (worth it or not?)
I have been chatting with a few people I know about fitting a kit and opinion is very much divided. Just wanted to know if it's worth splashing the £60 on a M20B20, will I get anything for my money, the car is very standard.

Not being funny mate but are you sure you have the plug leads going to the right places? I had exactly the same problem on a car I was working on and it turned out to be that two leads were swapped over by my own carelessness, it looked right but the problem only came out at higher revs. Lots of hea...

Re: I need help!!!
It rubs off on those around you too. Last week one of my mates was over, and I noticed he'd gone missing. After 5 minutes of walking round the house thinking 'where the f**k has he gone?', I found him in my garage, just sitting in the e30. I asked what he was doing and his reply as he lovingly held...

Lowering Springs and Shocks
Hello people, I have been looking into putting a good lowering kit on my 320i and after a little research I think I have found the right kit, Eibach ProKit. Has anyone fitted these springs that can give me some feedback and also if I fit these springs which shocks would complement the set up best? I...
