  • Need advice regarding TÜV & E38 wheels

    Hallo M5'ers..


    I thought my car had allready passed TÜV testing with the E38 wheels and racetyres, but today i went to the auto-club in Flensburg to pick it up, and i discovered that this is not exactly the case.
    What my car had actually passed was only the "Check if everything is OK for TÜV" test done by the mechanics at the Renault dealer in Flensburg (they run the auto-club where my car is registred).
    They specifically told me that the tyres were OK.. but i guess they forgot to ask the TÜV guys if they would happen to have the same opinion.. and ofcourse they did not.
    While i was there they called a TÜV guy, and got him to show up in no time (Dekra is 200 meter away from the Renault dealer), but after he spoke on the phone to BMW M in Munich, and a few other places, he refused to give his OK to the E38 wheels. (i said to him that it was '95 E34 wheels, and he did belive that, but it did not help).


    And now to the point where i need your advice:
    What should i do?
    The easy thing is to simply put on the 17 inch wheels, and get new TÜV with those, only to put the E38's back on right away.. but can this give problems with the police? or wont they know that it is not the original wheels?
    I got pulled over by German police earlier this year, and they did not mention the wheels at all, but do you think this will allways be the case?


    Maybe there is another option:
    My contact at the auto-club said that i could also drive to Hannover, and get something he called "Special one-time approval", or something like that..
    Do you know about this? what is in Hannover.. TÜV headquarters?


    Or do you have other ideas?


    Kons.. what have you done?


    PS. Once again i am stuck with garageplates for the N'ring meeting.. the service level at the auto-club is starting to get annoying :rolleyes:


    PPS. Luckily it is still one month to the Alps Tour.. this year i want to arrive on time, with no car problems (this will be something new to me) and real licenseplates :)

    Ja, ist noch aktuell. Einfach anrufen und fragen.

    Im unable to guess my way throught all the German text in this thread :)
    Who is arranging the hotel rooms?
    Is there still room for two more persons? (me and a friend).
    We arrive Saturday, and depart Sunday.


    We have found available rooms, but they are 60km from the 'Ring, so if you guys have found some available rooms closer, that would be nice.

  • gummi am tur

    Hi Dick


    If you are talking about the rubber-seal that goes around the door, then it is glued on, and it is possible (but you have to do it carefully) to remove it with a "stanley-knife" without destroying it.
    If they are not expensive i will get new ones for my CF doors.


    PS. Any news on the hoods?


    Mvh. Finn


    Zitat von Dick

    Kann jemand mir sagen ob die gummi die an innen seite vom tur sitz, verklebt oder irgend wie angeklemt ist? Kann mann die wieder benutzen?

  • BMW seitenrollos on standard door panels ?

    The doorpanels are 1-piece, you cannot detach the top part, and replace it with something else.
    It is possible to install the sunshades in your doorpanels, but you will have to make the hole it goes through yourself. Maybe a bit difficult to make it look nice?
    Are new doorpanels prepared for sunshades too expencive an option?

    The car is absolutly a dream to drive :gear: The stability is enourmes. I can drive speeds now in corners that I never could dream off :) It was a lot off work to get it running, but it was worth it.
    About the Scuderia course, I became winner in my group, with 27 cars in the group. In the overall standings I was 5th off just over 300 cars. Next time I drive in the Winners Group, wich are the 6 or 7 best off the course.

    I heard from Anders Jonsson that you achived sensational points with the M5, congratulations :)
    Next time will be April 2005?
    You dont have to tell me how much work is involved in making the trackcar conversion.. and also quite a large investment i think, im allready over 6k eur, and still need to buy a gearbox and rear differential..
    I hope my car will be ready for use soon, and that the engine can last untill the end of this season :)

    Finn. Sorry that we did not talked more. Allmost everybody was gone at once so I went out for another lap :gear:


    Grt. Dick


    I had quite alot of things i wanted to ask you, about the Scuderia course, your car, and so on..
    How does the car handle now, compared to before the weightreduction, and how are your tires performing?
    When the hoods have arrived, we will meet somewhere to do the exchange and we can talk about it all :)


    I will try to find out what the "E11" marking are good for..

  • Nordschleifen-Meeting 24/25. April 2004

    Good to hear that all made it home safely :)


    My hometrip was quite boring, there was nobody to talk to, and too much traffic, so i drove Nurburg - Flensburg without any stops (only north of Hamburg traffic was free to go quick).


    I thought it was very nice to meet some "new" German friends..
    Im sorry about the driving on the grass with Rainer in my car.


    This was my first time with race-tires, and i think they proved to be great, giving the car good grip-level, and neutral steering. I hope this will also be the case with the lighter trackcar.
    The laptimes was 22-25sec faster with racetires, compared to last year with the "normal" tires.


    Raymond:
    When i had finished my last lap i was unable to locate you and your father, this is why i left without saying goodbye to you.


    Dennis:
    I sent you an email about the lights we talked about.

  • Wieviel kostet mich ein Kompressorumbau?

    From a Danish BMW-turbo-specialist, i have the price of ~6000,- Eur for a turbo setup with standard pistons, and raised cylinderhead.. this setup can give about 400-430hp.
    And i have the price of ~11000,- Eur for a setup with custom pistons, rods and everything.. they guarantee more than 500hp from this setup.
    The prices are + Mwst.


    I think kompressor setups are about the same price..

  • Anfrage: Wie Motorenelektronik korrekt "resetten"

    If you want to reset the DME, then you should disconnect the battery for 10 minutes or so. I dont think pressing the brake pedal or putting the ignition on will draw power from the DME's capasitors.
    When you reconnect the battery and start driving, the DME will start with default values for everything, and begin auto adapting itself to the actual conditions.
    If you have driven with your new ECU for more than two years then the DME have adapted itself a long time ago, no need to reset and make it re-adapt.
    I think it will take no more than 1hours driving to re-adapt the DME.
    Some people report that their engines run "strange" untill the adaptive procedure is completed, but in my car there is no difference i can feel.


    Btw. do you want to start using the original ECU again?


    (I will throw away my D'Sylva chip).

  • welche bremsflussigkeit im M5?

    Zitat von Dick

    ...Und wieviel geht da rein?


    Grs. Dick


    George K. (Sie kennen ihn von der Alpen Tour), erklärt uns, daß 1 Liter genug ist. Es ist einfacher, wenn Sie etwas mit einer anderen Farbe erhalten von, was Sie innen jetzt haben.


    PS. Ich hoffe, daß dieses deutsche Schreiben zu anderen als selbst verständlich ist :)

  • Guckt Euch mal den Motor an, was fällt auf?

    Zitat von ///M-Archiv


    BTW, how is your Track Car project doing?


    This is OT in this thread, but i hope Dominik thinks its ok :)
    There is not much progress at the time, im am waiting for doors, hood and springs to arrive. But otherwise it is getting there. There are still some work, but i hope to have it ready by the end of April, with a little luck.
    Also i got some 8 & 9.5 x 18 inch wheels for it.


    Are you coming to the Nordschleife April 24-25?

    Aber ich weiß nicht, was mit der bild nicht stimmt?
