I'm pretty sure the E34 M5 was available with M-System II before the E31 850CSi was, but I could be wrong.

750 front brakes - takeoffs from Duke's car when he went to the 850 setup

Jeremy,

Your 7er front brakes spent time on my deceased '83 533i before I sold them to you. I swapped a set of E31 single pots for Duke's 7er brakes, as the E31 brakes wouldn't fit under my ALPINA open lug wheels. Duke subsequently sold the E31 single pots to someone on this board when he upgraded to the E31 Brembo brakes.

Also, smart guy, money isn't the issue why the '57 hasn't been on the road for years. If you ever become a single parent of a troublesome teenager, you might understand my priorities over the last four years. Until then, I'll thank you to shut your trap about my "putting people off."
WOW :shock: touchy, touchy Shawn. Shawn needs some love again guys. When was the last time you went on a date?

Sounds like your 57 Chevy would make a great father-son project.

Let me know how much you want for that installation since you obviously have and issue with it.

I never had, and do not have, an issue with that. If you recall, I suggested that as a token of my gratitude for your service. Nothing has changed with that.

What I took umbrage at was your uninformed criticism of my techniques while having benefited from them.

After seeing the AFM cover posts in the FS/Wanted section, I recalled that I have a "famous part" from Duke on my car -- an AFM cover. It's purty. ;)

My car itself is from Jay In VA. He also gave me an ass-ton of parts that are from him... including yellow bilstiens. He even kicked me a German text Activ-Chek Unit!
