[BlueM60]

Hi guys, new to the site. Im in Macon, Ga. My ride is a 1995 Orient Blue E34 540i with slushbox (soon to be swapped) and Alusil. Ive been crusing this site now for a few months and I am finally posting. I am a technician at BMW of Macon. Anybody else wanna tel a little about themselves? I also would like to poast some pics of the 5'er but am not sure how to do so on this site. Thanks in advance guys and I look forward to many posts in the future.

To post images, simply put the URL of the picture inside IMG tags. Like so, without the spaces:

Thanks for the reply M power, but do I have to first have the pics uploaded to that specific website? Is there no direct way to upload them to e34.net?
Thanks in advance.

No you can't upload them to this site. My internet provider gives me space for uploads. Yours might also. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome, I will snap some today and work on posting them tonight.

I'm in Dalton. Not sure how many other GA folks there might be on the board. The guys on this board have saved me hundreds of dollars with DIY advise in the 5 years that I've owned my E34.

Ooohhh do I know where you work.

20 years ago I had my fan go straight through the radiator of my 320i. Right at the truck weight station just north of Macon. Called the BMW dealer in Macon (which was a combo VW/BMW/something else) and told them of my plight. They could not get the parts for 7 days--then called Global in Atlanta. They had a truck on the way to Florida and threw what I needed on the back of the truck. He stopped on the side of the road and I gave him a check for the parts.

Not knocking where you work (it's been 2 decades) but I sure do remember the place that could not get a radiator within 7 days.

I am right up the road in Nashville. I used to work in Calhoun, GA and hated it. I actually work in the carpet industry now, so I order a lot from Mohawk and Shaw in Dalton. We could have a GTG in the making here. Maybe a small 5'er fest!

Ha! thats cool man. I would love to get a small group together for a meet though, Ive also got a few buddies from around here that would go.

HiBen;
I've got a 1995 Orient Blue E34 also....mine's a 530i auto, alusil, 100,700 mi.
Just tuned it up (new o2 sensors, coolant flush, oil flush and change to synth, spark plugs, vc gaskets, a/f.
Car drives like a dream, I love driving it.
Since you are a BMW tech you must have a pretty good opinion of the E34 reliability.
Best of luck with your big V8.
