GTR-N1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Murphy's Law 1) If you get a puncture, what's a bet it'll be on the most expensive tyre in the convoy, like a Pirelli P-Zero 2) If you're offered a "Flat-Out" pressurised tyre repair, what's a bet the rubberised fluid comes straight back out the puncture hole? 3) If you take your space saver out to save weight, what's a bet you'll need it? 4) If you lend out your jack, what's a bet it won't get returned? 5) If you've just had a paint job, what's a bet the panelbeater keeps the lock nut socket accidentally? 6) If you're in a hurry to use a loaned jack, what's a bet you'll jack up the car in the wrong spot? 7) If you remove the wheel to put on a loaned space saver, what's a bet the space saver wobbles down the road because the hubcentric ring hasn't been removed? 8) After finally getting onto Tyrepower Dapto and they'll say they'll be there at 3.10pm, what's a bet they're closed when you arrive? Dear Oh Dear > Poor Owen A whole herd of SAU members > Tyrepower Dapto come to the rescue > Owen's on his way by 3.30 And I know how Owen feels, because my LMGT4 rim cracked last month, and Terry didn't have a space saver then either did he?

NISMO Fan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi Guys (and gals), Just wanted to say what an awesome time I had on the cruise on Sunday. It was my first one with SAU and thought it was a blast. Thanks for being so accommodating to have a (nearly) stock 22 yr old BMW along for drive - I enjoyed getting the old girl to wag her tail. It was an awesome sight seeing all those suberb Skylines ready for the drive up the pass. However, I didn't see them for long - you all buggered off on me hahaha . Can't wait for my M engine and gearbox conversion (when the boss allows it). I will post pictures when I figure out how to do it. I hope to come along another time.

Cheers Brad Hey Brad, I had a quick look at your bimmer - it looks great mate, was good to see it on the day; it's always good to have some variety! So an S38 motor from an M5 then? The E39 M5 rims look great on the car btw.

Yeah S38 is my choice but also considering S54 or S62. There are more S54's available. Current rims are good but only 17s. Goal is staggered 18s. Am always interested in seeing more Bimmers.

Thanks mate. S54 would be a great option I would think, and as you say there'd be plenty available compared with the S62 or S38 I would have thought. Plus it would retain the six-cylinder theme of the E34 M5. an M- V8'd E34 would be awesome though M Parallels are the go I reckon: I was looking for these for my E38 but I'm pretty happy with the style 69s that are on the car at the moment. Same fitment, 8" front, 9.5" rear. Plenty of Mpar's available overseas it seems, but postage is ridiculous.

Haven't costed a shipment of rims from overseas myself, but have seen prices like these: M Parallels on eBay. I'm sure you could do a lot better than $1,300 for shipping though...

GoldZilla Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 So, who can buy me an E34 M5 or 540i manual? Please??? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/394397-we-had-pies-at-robertson/page/4/#findComment-6275647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
God_speed Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 There was a mint E34 M5 3.5 at the Classic Throttle Shop in North Sydney a while ago, it was there for more than a year with about $45K on it from memory, low kms and great condition. Most M5s have got stratospheric mileage now unfortunately as they're just such great cruisers.

GoldZilla Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yep, either huge miles or a huge price-tag! The M5 attracts its price because, well, it's an M5! The 540i attracts its price because the 6spd manual was so rare and (apparently) such a nice car! Either the M5 or the 540i would be soooo nice, but I shall continue to dream...
