The collection grows - bought the 525ix !

calyso yeah!
assuming my e34 makes it, looks like there'll be 3 calypso e34s at goulburn.

What ? I'm not invited if I bring my silver M20 ?

I think i speak to everyone when i say, we all want to see a 525ix. I still can't believe it has rack and pinion steering

Does it ? - I haven't got that far yet.

$2200 for the transfer case, "no further intervention permitted".
You vill not attempt repair of dis unit as vee have deemed your skills inadequate.
Oh, those silly Germans.

Not being an engineer, I certainly wouldn't be cracking open a transfer case to fix or modify it.

I suppose if you have the skills, then what they recommend doesn't matter.

Same as TVs and electrical appliances - if you don't know what you are doing, don't fiddle !

Perhaps not silly, just sensible ?

My attitude is if it's already broke then I can't make it much worse. The net effect is that if not successful I'm usually no worse off.
It pisses me off a bit when I can't even take a crack at it because there are no parts offered.
How many times do you encounter a minor part of an assembly has failed, you are well able to fix this but no parts are available?
I'm not saying I could repair one of those cases, but there certainly are those who could.
I did learn my lesson on TVs though after taking a hit from a very potent capacitor.

Fantastic buy Zeuk, that has to be the pinnacle of gr34tness!!! There was a 525ix touring going in Queensland recently, also a grey import from the uK but an older ver, guy wanted like AUD$20k for it...

Don't say that to the 540iLE / M5 guys !

Saw the ad for that touring the other day - high 200ks as I recall. Down to 16k last I saw.

A friend of mine would be able to help with such a task. However he would have to have the time and the inclination, but for something like this he'd be interested to see it at least from an engineering perspective... so that would help.
