E34 Top Spec

[Lordsneldon]

I have boosted power supply on my list too (and no boot battery), but according to the option list I found here that 571 boosted power supply is just a 140A alternator, 832 is the code for battery in the trunk.

Wonderful stuff..thanks, So mine has the uprated alternator (571 on paperwork) actually that would explain why the battery that came with it looks as if it would stast a tractor from cold!!!

Thanks myles i'll try and get one of them from my local scrapyard....you wouldnt believe the prices of stuff I have to pay from my scrapyard, if you remember you gave me some advice on the cruise setup,,well EVERYTHING.actuator.stalk.ecu.wiring cost me £10 (approx $20USD) unbelievable isnt it. I once removed an m50 cylinder head in near perfect condition and got charged a pathetic £50!!

You wouldn't believe what we have to pay here. It's usually cheaper to buy from the UK or US and pay for shipping. Some of these items don't exist on our cars either as it was never offered as a dealer option.

Does anyone know the optional extras that you dont see much that could have been fitted to the e34 when new?
I just wondered really, see if theres anything else that could have been original that I can stick on the car!! thx

Well, there's the really scarce round emergency gas can that fit into the wheel well of your 525i (others, too). Most of these were found in European vehicles. Ocassionally. one turns up on eBay.

Thanks actually that would be really good......i'm always running low on fuel and I can never find a decent place to put the cheap plastic containers in so I'll have a look for one of them

Yeah that would be good for keeping tins of Cider chilled for the drinking on the beach

Yeah well if your ever stuck for a part i'm sure i could help because my scrapyard is a 'remove it yourself and show a bloke at the window on your way out and get charged peanuts' sort of place there really arent many scrapies which let the general public in to do that, usually there are about 300 cars there at any one time and out of that about 7-8 bmws of all descriptions
