Has only be recantly complied and went throught regency just this month. Its all stock as a rock, exept for a 3.5in cat back exhaust.

After 3 days I couldnt stand the standard suspension anymore, its was and was going to kill me!

So i headed down to JMS and got a set of JIC's. Practally brand new. Now she looks and handles SO much better.

hehe

Went down to AAA exhausts today to get straight pipes made up, i can recommend them enough. Jim is a top bloke. End result is great!

It has a mean note to it now, and it doesn't drone when sitting on 60k's like the cannon did.

Cheers Reece, you know me...i have to fiddle lol.

At first i wasn't a fan of the interior, but it has really grow on me, and has some cool features. Sunglasses holder and front n rear cup holders. A few more luxuries than a skyline.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
