Do not EVER deal with ASV. They will take your money and never send the parts to you. They are the worst Euro supplier in Australia.

Hey wingman, good find. Are you sure its an M5? It sits fairly high.Originally Posted by wingman
I prefer SydneyWide European personally, last time I was at ASV (was after a replacement shock) they tried to palm me a Touring Class Bilstein instead of a Sport and when that failed tried to give me a pair of original BOGEs (and I mean original- probably 15 years old) off some 535 they had out the back.
In the end I bought new, air-mailed from the US for $50 more than the Boges they were offering... LOL
They helped me out once when I needed a manifold at a reasonable price. They have horrible management but they are not last on my local list. I wish ASV were not a necessary evil when owning an old Bimmer in Sydney... but they are due to the stock they keep!

Pundit, your always joking around!A 518 bog standard 1.8 litre 4 cylinder... with "BMW M POWER" on the cam cover.
It is an M5 but most of it has been sold. There is one at Penisula BM in Victoria for $7500 or $5500 for the running gear.

Penisula BM?
Er.. is that some kind of gay sex shop?
I don't want to even think what the 'BM' stands for!
Maybe you meant Peninsula BM

Funny, ASV say that it is a "BMW M5 E34 AUTO". Auto M5?
Those guys wouldn't know their arse from their elbow.
