Re: A few bits which may be of interest ;)
The fruits of your labour, both searching and elbow grease cleaning up what you found! Totally understand your change, I'd do the same if I didn't have to think of NCAP ratings, ISOfix anchor points and roof racks! At least I'll be able to say I've driven a 911 turbo... Obviously if you miss the ///...

Re: What is a an S54 with 57k on the clock worth?
10-11k I reckon but 8k is pretty fair for a part ex.

Re: Shantybeater's S54 - BMWCar Mag+Xenon Retrofit finished!
Hey Bro, Looks stunning, best xenon retrofit I've seen as looks most genuine. Only problem I'd have is the difference in colour between side lights and dipped beam... but have seen people use leds that match well!! Guess I'll keep my s50 as OEM as can and you can go the modifying route! Can't wait t...

Hmmmm personally doubt its a valve - it wouldnt idle as 'smooth' and the noise would be totally different. You would know if it was a valve Its deffo not piston slap either - slap makes the car sound diesel like and more of a deep metallic grumble. The vanos growl is very prominent thats for sure. ...

Went into ECP and they are Ate discs under the Pagid part number. This is apparently because the Ate's have superseded the Pagid's. The Textar's are therefore going to be different.

The sub has a brilliant finish, sits right in... bit visible from the window tho... Cool that you managed to get the amp in the boot, not sure if I've got enough space behind my seat for it... could do the passenger's tho I guess.
