Looks nice Jamie.

I've been looking into the '99-'01 E38s recently and would love a neat 740iL, would be after black or silver though.

Yours looks like it's been well looked after though, from the pics.

With the VANOS 4.4 these have some go too; 0-100 is in the low 7 secs from memory. What L/100km do you get in average city driving?

Thanks Matt. Yeh I wanted a black as well but there are hardly any of these for sale, or should I say worth buying for sale. Glad I ended up with the Oxford Green though as its set off real nice with the dark tint and wheels. I got 9.4L/100Km to Sydney which I thought was awesome and around city I get about 13-14.5 last time I checked it.

This car has had the software updated to the transmission and in sports mode, really goes hard. In sport mode as well, has some good rumble with the new quad exhausts:)

GL with the search!

Oxfordgrün is, I honestly agree, a really nice colour. Better, IMO, than the Aspen silver which usually comes with the purple leather :) or Kalahari beige etc.

How many did you look at before settling on this one? What were the usual problems you encountered?

13-14.5 is not bad at all; better than I was expecting. Our E39 530i does about 10-11 L/100 in town.

I looked at about 6 legit ones and communicated with a seller in Sydney. They were mostly avg at best with high KMS, a lot of little things not working. Seeing they have sooooo many options, it was easy for 3-6 small options not be working, like rear blind etc. These can add up to ALOT of money but I got real lucky with this one as it has good service receipts and only 1 small thing need fixing which is common on all Beemers, the pixel in the dash.

I noticed yours has had a new radiator and cooling system components; a lot of piece of mind right there as this was also a common maintenance item for the BMWs of this era - where the radiator neck joins the top hose, fan clutch etc.

Yeh has the main things such as cooling system and valley pan done already. This car is ready to enjoy:)

Looks like I could be staying in the BMW family,possibly trading with a neat M3 but any last GTRs interested in a swap hit me up ASAP!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
