Much want here. But unless something comes up that means Han's going to be away with the kids, I doubt it this year... Leo's not quite old enough (although last chance before he starts school...) and my brownie points are probably over-allocated on the year's sailing calendar! But it isn't a solid '...

Re: E34 perverts need apply

I put some style 122s on mine :mad: kept the metrics too though!

Would have another E34 any day - currently looking for a replacement for the E36, but I doubt I'll come across another 34 like yours so expect I'll go elsewhere...

Can't recall what the spoiler looks like - none of these bits are exactly common! I really like the front though.

Re: 318i diff in a 325i

A medium case diff is going to be more than the price of a pint agreed, but it'd hardly break the bank! I wouldn't bother putting the effort into welding and fitting the weaker diff, just to have to re-do it... But then swapping diffs is one of those jobs that I've already done more than enough time...

Much appreciated! :D

Now I think about it, it's not like I'll need to figure out any differences with it in the car - I 'just' need to get round to ripping the old loom out, then I can make any adjustments before I re-fit...
