[Jr ///M5]

Sounds good to me. Were you able to use the seal and o'ring identification numbers from the M5 board?

Thanks again, I'll keep in touch.

Did not use anything from the M5 board. Worked together with FUGO from the German 7-board, he has a E32 750 BiTurbo, he lives in the Czech Republic. He made the repair already 2-3 years ago, and he sent me the seals he used.
We tested them on the Alpina and now I ordered more.
The standard LAD shocks: I sent him the samples of a shock we disassembled in Japan, but he checked it and said he needs the complete shock to see and measure also the steel parts where the seals go in. So he got another complete shock and measured that and now I get the first 20 sets = for 20 shocks. Not tested of course, but that is the risk one always has. But that was the best we can do, disassemble original and find the rigt hydraulic seals. We will test them here in Japan now. So in 5 years I can tell you the long term test result ;-)

Erich,

Keep me posted about the EDC III with LAD for the rears. I would be interested in a set for the rears.

Thanks,
JR

And I think that one of the 540LE guys on the Mboard would love a set of seals as he's been trying to get a set from Sportsline for many months with zero luck.

Bubba, did you end up sending your shocks off to have them rebuilt?

Not yet. Still have the 530 assemblies in there. Am waiting to see if Sportsline decides to put a little more effort into their mail order customers. And am also waiting to see if a local with an M-Sport that got wrecked is going to fix it or part it as he just put new EDC's in it a few thousand miles ago.

Very Nice!

Great collection.

Couple of broken links on E34post.com in the first Stereo Install section. The "Adding a subwoofer only" link and the two next ones give a 404.
