I'm building an extention on my road so i've only covered 200 miles in it and i've got just over half a tank left. I'm not sure what e34 fuel guages are like and i didn't ask matey how many miles to a tank

450 miles maybe more?

Friday nights often get me dreaming along the many beers. A Techno voilet M5 touring would be quite a thing in rhd and 6 speed?! As a family tool

the 15's are ok but aren't the correct size tyres getting hard to find now?

I think i've got a set of the 16 inch flat stars coming like the 540's had. So i can transfer over the good tyres off this old E60 set too!

225/60x15's are still made by Firestone amongst others as they are a popular Corvette size.
The E34 also came on 205/65x15 with the BBS, mainly rampant powerhouses like the 518i, 520i and diesels - another easily obtainable size.

Lining up a set of new 185/65x15's for the H reg '36. :D

I see your Nankangs, and raise you 185/65 Bridgestones or Avons for 50 quid each fitted.

Go on Simon, get Dan's rimz bought.

+1.

You could have it bouncing along on the bump stops whilst you grow a massive wankery beard and wear one of those brain scrotum slouch beanies. It's all about individuality Man.
