[Hijackin threads is cool lately since the board is slow.... as for following contours of the road theres a bunch of stuff worn out in your steering you should have it inspected as steering componants are maintenance items and usually you replace all at one...good for another 10 years or so. Yes vanos is a 6 cyl thing. QUOTE=Boom n Zoom]632Regal,

Thanks for the clarification on that, I wasn't sure if they were Vanos or not. So Is the Vanos system specific to the I6's?
My apologies for my ignorance, I wanted to be sure is all as my Bro was mighty impressed with my 540i as he has an '84 Auto and now an '82 Manual 928 Porsche. He seems to think that the E34 is more than a match for his '82 LandShark

Once we have both cars sorted (Him a gearbox rebuild and me getting the upper and lower control arms replaced as she wanders and follows the contours of the road and possibly new shock absorbers) we plan to have a meeting at a track day to find out. Should be interesting

Boom n Zoom.

Not meaning to hijack the thread here. Sorry if I have.[/QUOTE]
