I just popped in to Zeemax, and the mechie that worked on my car took it for a drive and was almost speechless, he says that I am damn lucky that the engine is still fine and is very impressed that its going so well.

My suspicions have been confirmed that the noise is a lifter, he reckons after the next engine flush it should come right.

Next flush goes in today, and the oil gets changed again on Thursday.

What you guys think of a wheel like this for the 540?

Hello Don

If the problem with the lifters ensues give me a shout.

We supply both an engine flush and Lifter additive which stops lifter noise.

Last weekend she seem to be running not to bad, so I think it's time for a detail.....

When it comes to wheels I cant say if it is going to work unless it is on he car. So I google for pic with maybe a similar wheels on. Found something else that don't look bad:

Hey Mr Alpina you didn't answer my question. Are you after the Alpina look Bluebiggrin

RE: My BMW 540i makeover thread - calypso - 27-02-2009 06:38 PM

I think that car is too big for the old school Alpina's. I prefer the newer Alpina Dynamics for a bigger car
