Timeless Beauty of BMW Cars - Picture thread

Nice! Yeah, do the bearings and don't look back. Just did it on my E60M at 99k, and they were due:

That's right you picked up the Sepang M5 right? I assume you are loving it too? Pretty good rod bearings for 100k but they were ready, #5 was asking to spin, good timing. Not to hijack this thread but did you get an oil analysis before hand? I just got mine back (attached below, don't mind the averages column). No idea on the miles or type of oil but the TBN was 3.0 so I assume some miles were put on it if it started at the typical 10 and the additive package looks pretty good. I was happy with the results overall but they need to be done.
F*** me, my m3 spun a bearing 2 days after I picked this up and I am having PTSD every time I take it out and still couldn't help taking it out to get coffee the other day. Might have someone else do the bearings just so I can start driving it sooner than later. That, some new injectors for piece of mind and it should be solid (famous last word emiright?) so long as the vanos pump, valve springs, smg pump, clutch, vanos solenoid and differential don't go lol.

Love it. Haven’t been able to “really” drive it since I worry about the bearings so until it’s fixed, it’s been parked waiting for my M3 to clear the garage. I will say, I bought it for a weekend/fun car but it is so awesome and ridiculously comfortable to drive I feel like I won’t be able to help myself from daily driving it. And the sound.. my god.

Man, I really do want an E30M. Sadly, they are really out of my price range these days.

wow that is a steal. You can't even get a corolla for that money. Great pickup.

[TexaZ3]

yeah thats a great color. year and mileage? assuming its a SMG since you said you got it for ten grand.

Yeah, its a 2006 SMG with/90k. Pretty interior with rare Olive Ash trim too.



Bearings not done, but lots of good maintenance going back to zero miles - all records and only 2 owners. Pretty solid pickup, if I say so myself

you picked up a E60??? couldn't resist the temptation huh? where's the build the thread !

Yes, yes indeed! That V10 was calling my name again. Plus, once you wrap it in Sepang goodness, it was just too much for me to resist! I'll have something going on M5board, probably.

This thread confirms what a loss BMW is today. I was at pacific BMW today for the airbag recall (a 6 hour job for them apparently) and my god what a horrendous display of pretentious hot garbage.
