      Carly are absolute robbing scumbags !! , cant believe you guys are still promoting them , just ask people about there experiences dealing with carly customer services , they are one of the worst thieving scum company out there , seriously don't take my word on this and have a look into it yourselves, people are literally getting money taken from there accounts being robbed and thats after removing all consent for them to do so, and when they do there is no customer services so for the people that have been unfortunate enough to have given this scam company the time of day are left out of pocket and scammed, shame on you guys for being involved with Carly but please do look into this as you guys are in partnership with them at the moment , everyone has been warned !!

      @KIRAjti your absolutely right , it's just a shame people are finding out the hard way after loosing their money and then having to deal with them , i mean anyone right now that has the carly app I would urge them to go into there apps and have a look at what control they have over there account and subscription , the robbing part comes even after people have managed after a massive headache to cancel there subscription money gets taken from the accounts anyway and there is absolutely no chance of getting back , the product is crap anyway , im really surprised channels are Still promoting them as its there family there loyal subscribers that they are lining up to get robbed , that's the sad part

    I'm so glad there's a way to financially support what you're all doing now beyond the shop too.

    I own and love an E39 530i manual Touring. It is my only car and I can't say I could think of a better one-car-package. It has all the amenities you need and none you don't. Beautiful steering and some power. Reliable enough to not worry but still "keeps me engaged with the hobby". It can fit 4 people with luggage in comfort on the Autobahn. Its beautiful to look at and gives me a smile every time I walk up to it. Also, I was able to afford buying it and thanks to an LPG conversion driving it loads. It's got 371k Km on the clock and I hope I can get it much,much higher in the coming years.
    Also, it's purple ❤

    That car is a dream! Except I'd had a valved intake (or just open) instead of exhaust 😄
    The "droop" setting on coilovers are to set so that the wheels don't rub the fenders when the suspension is bottoming out. usually tested without springs and then installing the springs afterwards 😁
    But it can also be used for hight adjustment if the car is to be slammed with stance fitment.

    I used to own a E34 540i 6 speed manual... and what a fantastic car that was. Only small thing I would do myself is have 2 tail pipes instead of just the one, but I think overall you have a car that's pretty much as good as it gets. I would even keep the old phone tech just as a laugh :)
    My dream is to get back into a E30 one day, but that's been a dream for some time now and I don't believe that's going to change any time soon. It makes me quite jealous to see you lot having so much fun with cars :)

    It's amazing how quickly the E39 Tourings have disappeared off the road. My 530i T was typical, rusted out rear inner sills and tailgate along with high costs elsewhere meant it was sold off for parts some time back.
    Of note is the large rear subframe bushes are hydraulic, they are filled with oil. Over time the rubber hardens and cracks and the fluid leaks out giving a harsh ride at the rear. Solid after-market bushings seem a bad idea for UK roads...

    Your so damn lucky to get these cars over your way. The only manual cars in Australia were the M5's. Love my pre facelift 540 with staggered style 42's, even with auto.

    This is worth watching for THAT EXHAUST alone! Waaay too beautiful to be hidden under a car. And yes, it sounds the danglies. Loved this Taylor, top content fella, and a cracking, rare motor. 😍

    Nice car! Back in the day my dad had was offered an E39 523i company car. He tried to choose aubergine metallic paint with aubergine leather but to avoid a 12 month wait settled for a blue one with grey cloth. As an 18 year old his company insurance allowed me to drive it. What a car!

    Now its complete, I reckon the best thing for testing would be Misha takes it around the Nurburgring, oh and Ace video Taylor, that 540i is a true art piece from BMW.

    It is so good putting new shocks on an old car - the transformation is amazing.
