Bunny..why you so?

Pick on MG Man nuh...lol.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Nah not picking on you. Seriously. My dream cars growing up were BMW and 90's Japanese cars.

Ideally my dream car now would be euro with all wheel or rear wheel drive. Seriously plotting my next car purchase and for now it's not even in the VW group

I can see either a Merc or BMW is your next line.
That is how you refinery engineers roll. Lol.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Lol not true. Refinery engineers buy corollas. After that the rest stay in Japan or Korea. Operators on the other hand...should have an official spotters thread for them

[Pointman-IA]

Down E&P, VW,Mercs, Bimmers and Rings are like B14 now.

[Pointman-IA]

We have began work on the 2001 BMW 5 Series E39 Sedan (facelift)

I only had three weeks to understand why BMW is regarded as the Ultimate Driving Machine.

Now I am two-thirds French and one-third German.

With the Clio in motion and the Megane Classic project on a hold til my brother completes CXC, I am going to tackle the German.





A bumper off job. Easy fix. Talk about "muck" behind the grills and under the badge.




The power train: M54 Engine. Got my work cut out for me but with the right tools, this is child's play.
Got a defective hose right below the power steering fluid reservoir.



This would be going soon: Alpine CD Receiver CDE 100.
The functionality of the steering controls were lost when they decided to swap the OEM cassette player for this.
At the bottom, the cup holder was damaged so I took it out. Replacement due soon.




External temperature sensor works. Car now doing 92,500 km. It might remain this way til Christmas. lol.




I wonder how much the firm would charge for grills like these.
ECS Tuning (USA) has some great stuff for the 5 Series but I am guided by the BMW EPC.

Bonnet latch was mucky as well so off it came for some TLC.



Just a sneak peek of the rear seats.
I rate the interior (8/10).
The hood lining is drooping slighting but once I sort out the Ultrasonic Module brackets, I am going to sort it out.

[Team Loco]

Very nice. That alpine head unit definitely must go

[Pointman-IA]

Anyway folks.
Work on the 520i is proceeding as planned.
I established the cause of the jet washer failure to be the pump and it seems someone before attempted to have a go at it.
Resulted in broken clips.

I decided to contact the dealer down here for a quotation on the parts I will need.
My heart skipped three beats when I saw the prices.

To the Great Britain I go.

US u should get everything in miami....UK prices will be hefty with the fx rate.

[nemesis]

Well yeah. Some had to come from California though. But yeah, delivered to Miami and then sent to trini.
I still playing with WG settings to get it right. Had to drop 1st/2nd gear boost also. But almost there.

Sound was something I wanted perfect.. and it's quite good, but I don't like all the turbo noise I hear now. I guess I'm one of those that will always miss NA being available in non-supercars. Stupid emissions laws.

Mr. Pointman-IA, I dont appreciate this statement eh!

where my comment went totally ignored..smalls

You need to reconsider VW, Mercedes-Benz and BMWs Mr. Pointman-IA, since

1) There's only 3 VWs in E&P and only one them is usually there, the others we don't see...
2) BMW, there's about 2, and they are usually seen in the admin carpark...
3) As for the Mercedes-Benz, I can recall seeing one of these...

If you were to state any vehicles euro vehicles that are like B14's, those would be the manager's Audi's

[EcoTune Trinidad]

Nortel...got a paddle shifter steering if u need for the Jetta and chrome tips oem

[Pointman-IA]

Good Morning Tuners,

I will like to introduce to you my 2000 Opel Astra, 2003 Renault Megane II, and 2014 VW Jetta.

The list of mods are coming soon. Had to post after the following statement

Engine Back in the Car


Glad to see original engine maintained!

Happy with the performance after rebuild?

[Pointman-IA]

K4M engine back unto the DP0 tranny.
What brand of injector coils you used this time?

[Pointman-IA]

Just a lil update.

Inspection of the undercarriage with respect to the trim.

A lot of "butchering" took place in an attempt to change the fuel filter.

I would definitely be needing a replacement bumper since some of the clips were broken before and it was held in place with wire and tie straps. Yes I said wire.

Whoever was servicing this car clearly did not know what they are doing.

I bought an OEM radio and the climate control panel for the amazing price of £60 from a buddy of mines in the UK, who so happened to be scrapping his E39 Wagon because his engine had blown its gasket.

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

[Team Loco]

Nice. Do it right. Best way

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Pointman-IA you do all the work yourself or you have a mechanic?
