Gents, I have just had an inspection 2 completed on the M5 and one of the things that came up is that both rear shockers are weeping oil. My mechanic tells me...
Jonathan This is a common misconception. SLRS shocks can be rebuilt. I know not just because I have read about it in various forums - but because I have had...
Jonathan I'd also check first whether "weeping" is sufficient cause to repair or replace these items. I seem to recall reading elsewhere that it is considered...
Thanks David. I'll get onto them. What's an EDCIII shock? Rgds Jonathan ... From: David To: OzE34M5@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 7:16 AM ...
Jonathan Not a problem. EDCIII shocks are the electronically damper controlled shocks fitted to the 1995 model M5, some 8 series cars and, in Australia, the ...

I am sorry to say, that this is the price we all have to pay to keep the E34 original, if you dont want originality, then you should go down the H&R springs...
Hi all, apologies to the members of the LE site as I'm going to repeat myself here. After much tooing and froing I am finally in a position to buy a car and it...
Hi all, Well as some of you know I've agreed to purchase David's M5. The car sounds like it's exactly what I want and I should have it in a fortnight or so. ...
Hi Garry, congrats to you (& David), from what I've seen and read you've got yourself a beautiful car. My 2 cents on the exhaust option would be to drive the...
Hi Geoff, Thanks for the advice. The reason I went for the M5 in the end over an LE was the engine, as you probably know I have an E24 M6 with the twin cam M88...
Gary, Track down 'JRobbo' if you can, he has replica 18's on his M5, they look a treat but as we have just lowered his car we have found that the offset was...

Hi all, I would love to be coming with you guys, but other commitments are preventing my participation. Maybe next year. hope you all have a real blast. BTW...
OK, things are getting close now. Just over a week to go before those of us driving at Winton head off. It's not too late to join us if circumstances have...
I was lucky enough to do a before and after dyno today on an EAT chip for an E34 M5. The dyno runs were approx 15 minutes apart. The car with the EAT chip made...
Looks like we have all made it home safely and without too major an incident - although am still waiting to hear from some. Preliminary pics and some...
Hi Andrew, do you have a copy of the Dyno sheets from this comparison? Cheers, Geoff. Andrew <andrewbrien_bmw@...> wrote: I was lucky enough to do a...
Hi Andrew, It would be interesting to run my car on the same dyno (assuming I can get oil pressure in it!!?) and see what numbers it puts out with the EAT chip...
Gary, Geoff, Sorry for the delay, its been crazy lately. I posted the dyno runs on M5 Board and as a matter of comparison i am running JRobbo's M5 tomorrow as...
HI all, i will post more tonight but JRobbos car made 180.5rwkw Points to note: *the car i tested first is down on power from exhaust and headers *The EAT does...
