Replicas are all made exactly the same, so he did not put them reverse. I got them too. Basicall original style 21 are in pairs or pairs. Fronts are 8.5J, rear are 9J I think. Also shuriken is not the same for left and for right side. When on the ground, shuriken of left and right side look reversed. Unlike replicas. Shuriken on replicas on right side are turnes correctly.

Hi from NZ. If you replace the shocks and all the suspension bushes that could take a second or more off the 0-100 (and ur dad will think ur a genius!). Hey a good tip with the rear subframe bushes. Use the cars weight to push them out. At 325000 kilometers, you know they are fkd as haha and by how it launches it quite bad I think. Good tip #2 - the exhaust cam of the M52 has more lift than the intake cam of the M50. Good tip #3 - Overheating. My 525i had this. It was not the cooling system. It was the plastic shroud in the heater switch motor for the aircon. This is a really cool idea to seal the water from the electric motor. This item pumps warm water into the aircon. A small crack in this plastic cup leaked water out and air in. Start engine and the air gets pushed around to the pump where it would cavitate. Stop engine because its hot, and air floats back to the heater switch because it is the highest place, and water level looks ok. Aggrrrrrrr Nightmare!!! But now you know.

very cool. im also looking at a 5 speed automatic ZF5hp18 yr1995 525i. are there any tunes to make the 5hp transmission shift faster? do you think adding a turbo to get 280 wheel hp will get this car to 5.5 sec 0 to 60 mph?

[@goguhu]

Isn't it still illegal in Norway to add more power or do you need to pay additional taxes for power (or did they get rid of all of that)? Bet you have all the new power on the top-end only, so without dumping the clutch in the start, you won't see that much more. I was guessing 6s flat.

Now dont get me wrong, I like the video. But I would like to offer some improvements: With 71k subs, I would expect a little bit more scientific approach. A dragy GPS timer is 150 Eur, surely you could afford that? Or borrow something similar from someone. I dont get how you can get twice the horsepower with .5 bar of boost if I heard you correctly? This baffles me a bit... Speedlimits and all that, but 0-100 kph is a terrible way to test power. There is a reason just about everyone in europe tests 100-200, it takes almost everything but enginepower out of the equation. And its better for the drivetrain as well.
