Yea, I've had the same issues, It's a running-joke with my parts mate at my local dealer/"Stealers". The mandatory '3' weeks wait list for anything, BMW...
The customs declaration said "Vintage Autobile Parts". Since when does a vitage car have 4 camshafts and 6 forward gears? 1995 must be longer ago than I...
I see in the most recent Top Marque magazine that the BMWCCV has a new member Nathan Bey, who is the owner of a 540iLE. Nathan, are you a member here? Anyone...

I am here. Mine is #47 Tobago Blue. The #4 belongs to my father and I am currently looking for a new owner for it. I have posted a number of times on here. :P ...
Hi Guys, I'm just about finished rebuilding the steering on #65, and I thought I'd treat her to a new set of brakes while she's up on the jacks. Options seem a...
Rob, I am not sure, but I think I may have seen some upgraded options at some of the specific brake places - you probably need to ring and ask. Personally, I...
Rob, I was able to buy front E34 rotors locally, from HSY about six months ago for $440 a pair. I reckon it would be worth checking with Patrick@......
Hi David, My local brake place is looking in to RDA rotors. They have stock replacement items in slotted/dimpled for around $300/pair front and $320/pair rear....
Hi Guys, Just a point of note, I'm going to be getting parts direct from BMA when I'm in Burbank California in early May. My list is building as we speak. On...
Robert I've always stuck to OEM rotors for my Mercs and BMs because I'd heard that there are significant differences in the various metals used in rotors. The...
Ian, I did see that episode. very interesting. I guess the only conclusion that can be drawn from that is that the 540iLE with big brakes that completed the...

Hi Ian, RDA is a company here locally that competes directly against DBA. http://www.rdabrakes.com.au/ I've used slotted rotors as a replacement on my Dad's BA...
Has anyone had experience with these? http://www.powerchipgroup.com/datasheets/1/Bmw0043.pdf There's a few good testimonials there, one from an LE owner....
Hi Rob, They were great with my M5, car was definitely better after they installed the chip. There's a rumour going around I'm not so good at installing chips....
Hi Rob, as Garry mentions, the guy who did a custom chip for me is based at Rydalmere. He runs the car on the dyno first to get a baseline measurement, then...
Thanks Geoff, Garry, Geoff I'll be in touch about this in the future. For the meantime I'll attempt to focus myself on the restoration type stuff needed on the...
Robert,  As the guys in the group already know, my #15 has been chip'd. It's a UNICHIP and it was installed when owned by the previous owner (Chris in...
Hi guys, I want to change the fluids in the diff and gearbox on #65, and replace with synthetics if feasable. Are there a list of equivalent fluids that I can...
I wouldn't muck around with anything in the diff at least - there isn't an alternative to the recommended BMW oil for the LSD unless you reckon you know better...
Hi Ian, I didn't think the LE's came with an LSD as standard? What do BMW recommend in the gearbox? I know it's an ATF derivative of some sort. Rob. ...
Hi Again, Does anyone know the difference between the aluminiun and steel contol arms on the e34? I notice that realoem specifies steel arms for the LE, yet...
Hi Rob, Ian has an M5, hence the LSD. As you say, the LE was not equiped with an LSD as standard. Sadly, BMW thought that the traction control was all you...
Hi Geoff, I had a bit of a look in the manual and it doesn't seem to specify a fluid, rather to go to the stealer for the fluid changes. Will send some emails...
