Euro '85 M6 parts car?

Was in Florida last week and met up with a friend who has a Euro '85 M6, it's not for sale but could be had if I want to pursue it. He owns a garage and this customer's car has been sitting there for years. I have an US e28 M5 and I'm thinking if I get it cheap enough I could keep the drivetrain and sell the other bits. Car is straight, somewhat rusty but has good euro bumpers and other trim pieces/interior, etc... can anyone throw me a number for what this gem might be worth? Thanks, Jon

OT: Let's Bogey

Some say that only old foogies drive the E38, others say that all E38 owners are stiff lipped and stuff and don't know how to let their hair down... if they have any that is. Some even say they have hearing more sensitive than a Rabbit and Eyes sharper than an Eagle and use these powers to diagnose constant issues with their car.... all we know is they need to have a little fun. Let's dance.

s50 cam timing question

Hey guys ... Have spent the last few hours putting a new head on my soon to be track car . Was following the pelican cam timing instructions , but I can't get my exhaust sprocket any where near the left side orientation that the pelican pic shows .. Does it have to be all the way to the left like in the pelican pics ?



Here is the best I could get it , the picture in the Bentley wasn't very clear ..

Hi, guys,. I have some problems about the height adjustable dumper and short spring.



Well i do not have any ideas abhot which one is best option for my 535i. I just want my 535 can looks more lower, but not very very low . haha

Anyone can give me some advices ,Thank you :)

M60b40 ----- M60b44 parts question

Hey,



Just to note before, I have searched for the answers to these questions and have come up short on a solid answer. Maybe I was using the wrong terms or I just suck at searching. But whatever.



soooo.....



Just went to my local You-pull-it (junk yard) and found a 740i (not sure if e39 or... something else. it was totaled. Looked like it got hit by a bus, on every side...twice.) Funny cause the interior was undamaged. Germany safety saved the guy in this one.



Anyways....



I was able to pull the intake, injectors, fuel rail, 4 coils and the driver side valve cover. Could get the heads if someone wants it. (they say its under 200k :shifty So vague) Valves look good, and so do the camshafts and the chain. Couple M cars (two m3's e36 and e46 i think) if someone also needs something.

the passenger side suspension coil is through the passenger valve cover, so that's not an option.



My question is, and I have had trouble searching for a solid answer;



is there a difference in size between the intake manifold of an m60b40 and a m62b44?

Can the injectors of a m62 be used in a m60?

Are the valve covers of the m62 made of Alum? (they seemed a different material than my magnesium m60b40 covers)



Just curious, I've read about this in other forum posts but was not a clear answer; If you use m62b44 heads on an m60, will there be a bore gap between the heads valve area and the cylinder bore? or vice versa, m60b40 heads on a m62b44?





Also, a side note, Not sure if anyone would know... But can i steam clean my engine (portable steam cleaner gun) (gunky areas around the block/headers) As long as I avoid wires, seals, etc?





thanks mates.

Window Issue

Passenger rear window not going all the way up; how do I tell if the issue is the motor, regulator or both?

Window Issue

E39 2000 BMW M5 (Carbon Black / Imola Red) - LOW PRICE! - Portland, Oregon

VIN: WBSDE934XYBZ94557



I regret having to do this, but I am going to have to sell my 2000 BMW M5. As much as it pains me to do this, I have other things going on in life, and I simply can't afford this car as well as all of my other 'toys' and a family.



Anyhow, the car in question is a 2000 BMW M5 in carbon black with imola red interior and the matte chrome interior trim. The car has 166k miles and runs like a champ.



It was equipped from the factory with ALL of the options at the time including the fairly rare power rear sunshade, and PDC (park distance control) as well. It also features the factory rear sunshades on the side windows as well.



The exterior of the car is fantastic, I would give it a 9.5 out of 10, and I only say that because there's a few areas where touch up paint has been used, but NO door dings, no damage, and not even so much as a dent anywhere!



The interior is a solid 9.5 out of 10. I challenge you to find another E39 M5 with a cleaner interior, the entire interior is almost immaculate! Even the drivers seat is void of the typical wear and crushed bolsters from getting in and out, this interior is literally to die for! The interior on this car has really been babied in every sense of the word, I can't stress that enough. It sees Leatherique products at least once a month.



The car has been tastefully modified with the following:



- Koni Shocks

- H&R Springs

- Eibach Sway Bars

- Muffler Delete

- WeatherTech Digital Fit Floor Mats

- Quaife LSD Differential (a huge improvement over stock!)

- F10 M5 ZHP Shift Knob

- E60 Short Shift Kit



The following has been replaced recently:



- Brand new front and rear brakes with Brembo pads and Meyle rotors

- Brand new Duralast battery (purchased 1 week ago) - note that this is the FACTORY fit battery, not some lousy aftermarket one

- Rebuilt ABS / DSC unit



The car does have a few issues, hence the lower price, the issues are as follows:



- Needs a new clutch (it's perfectly drivable, but it's starting to slip in the upper RPMs. Kuni quoted me $2000 for this and I have the receipt so you can hold me to the price!). The clutch is not that bad yet, but it's slowly going bad. I drive the car as it is and there's no issues at all unless you really get on it.


- The brake light is on and the DSC light is on (I'm told this is usually due to one of the wheel speed sensors being bad. Do not worry, it's NOT the dreaded ABS unit though as that was recently replaced with a rebuilt one).


- The wheels need to be refinished (they aren't damaged, but the original chrome shadow paint is peeling in numerous areas)


- I recently swapped a black faced gauge cluster into the car (got it from Clemster . Because of this the mileage on the odometer reads 103XXX but the actual mileage on the car is 166XXX. It needs to be coded to have the correct mileage but I don't know how to do this. The plus side is that now the car has an ultra rare black face gauge cluster which is true to the 2000 models. Also, no burnt out pixels!



Those are the only issues with the car, and I'm being 100% honest and upfront about them. Realistically you'll put about $2000 into it for the clutch, and maybe a little more for the other issues. So, worst possible case scenario, you come out of it having put $3000 into the car, but I figure that puts the value of the car about right where it should be.



Anyways, I'll take some better pictures when it's nice out.



The car will come with PASoft (BMW Scanner) 1.4 and the cable you need to plug it into the car as well.



My price is $11,000 FIRM. I'm not going to budge on that price one penny for now.



The car has a CLEAN Oregon title which I have in hand, ready to sign over. I have included the VIN with this ad, so you can Carfax it and see that there have been ZERO accidents with this car, it's 100% good to go.



I WILL NOT let anyone test drive this car without cash in hand, period. In fact, please don't even bother coming to see the car (or calling me) unless you have cash in hand. I'm not going to do the typical Craigslist thing where people want to come over, chat forever, only to find out they don't even have the money in the first place.



Anyways, if you are interested, please call me at 503.701.5752.
