and it's gone (fuel leak I mean) 

 

The pipe from the HP fuel pump to the Rail had decided to come loose thus spreading the devils juice around the engine bay, car is back to fighting fit!

So update on the 540i...

 

It basically needed new Discs and pads on the front and a new ABS sensor, so having some spare 530i discs we thought that would work, easy swap and done...

 

Wrong, 540i brakes have a bigger bell then the 530i discs and as such at about 20.00pm last night managed to source some M5 carriers and discs for the car, so a good end to the night!

 

Next job is change the hub and replace all the EDC suspension and lower it by 50mm

An update on the 530d with pictures to follow...

 

So what has been fitted since last time, well I now have new AC Schnitzer 18 type 2 wheels which really set the car off but still OEM looking which I like. 

 

New Interior trim and individual kick plates, along with picking up some e38 7 Series Contour seats to fit. Gearbox fluid and filter change on Monday along with Vac line renewal...

 

Car is on 183000 miles and still love it as much as the day I purchased it. Just does everything really well and would struggle to find one in similar condition...

 

Oooo got the flappy paddle wheel retrofitted as well, great fun pretending to be a racing driver in the Titanic!
