    I know of a couple of good M20 2.5 885 cylinder heads.
    That pump in the blue 525i bought the Titanic a lot of time and shifted a lot of sea water. I approve of the level of swearing as well - one finds it fully encapsulates the dramas of rescuing an E34 that's been bodged from arsehole to breakfast time. 11/10 WUD WATCH AGAIN
    The rear arm links are called pitman arms, dog bones. BMW part no 1125665.

      @@Joshwaa___ They belong to a mate - they've been off the car for years. M20 heads normally crack under the cam so that coolant escapes under pressure through the coolant gallery underneath into the engine oil creating the shitty mayo mess. I've never seen one with coolant coming past the spark plug threads though. 😮

    I love the look of the E34s, the Touring especially, though the rot underneath definitely gives me pause for thought! Used to live near a 520i in Mineral Blue, which I thought was a fantastic-looking car but I was committed to the 3 Series from E30 to E46. Have a G30 now but would definitely like to revisit some of the 5s I missed, with the E28 and E34 being top of the list.

The road tax over here is another stumbling block on the older stuff. €1800 for a years rent on a 3 litre! Once it hits 30 years old tho its only €56 for the year regardless. I'll stick with me CLK for now I think. I love that car man!
