Holy sh*t its actually your listting. You actually posted a trademe screen shot with your porn tabs still open. You sir win the internet bwahahahahahahahaha

I'd been a lurker for a long while before joining a while ago. I was always fascinated with E24's and a few times came this " " close to buying one. I decided it was a little impractical having a coupe and the way the window didn't wind all the way down always bothered me. Like probably everyone else I've a habit of hanging my arm out the window. I'm new to BMW's but no stranger to German auto's. I spent half my life stitching vintage beetles and split kombi's back together. Always fun but that particular brand is out of control price wise now. Kombi's were awesome when they were $300 - $800. Now you're paying $5000 - $8000 for a rusted start the shine is pretty much out of reach for me. Onward and upward. The appeal of BMW was always around and it seems I've bought in at the right time. After the E24 my fav was the E34, quite a practical car and I managed to keep my eyes open long enough to jump on the one I've been waiting for - Well not exactly, the idea was to pick up a motorsport 535 variant. This 540 popped up on Trademe so I jumped on it. I reckon I could have done a lot worse for 2.5K I don't know much of the history of the car - Tauranga vehicle for most of it's life it seems before finding it's way to Aucks a couple years ago. The previous owners have taken pretty good care of it. Exterior wise it's mostly tidy, one tiny dent in the rear passenger door, some barely noticeable loose trim some general use scratching but all in all tidy for a 200K vehicle. Oriental Blue seems to be the colour. Nice tidy grey leather interior with walnut wood trim. Motorised headrests seems to have slipped the cables and some cracked seatbelt trim from the rear seat, minor wear on the drivers seat. All very tidy though. I'm pretty happy with the purchase, It drives beautifully. Surprisingly economical too I've found. I don't have a whole lot planned for it. Lower the front a little for some rake and a more even look over the rims. Maybe the Aussie power chip and the dinan trans chip - Both seem pretty economical and worth the upgrade. And at some stage a proper diff ratio once I've decided on what's best. Find and replace some trim bits to bring it all back to OG state. I took the time to give it a wash and a little tidy this morning. It really needs a good cut and polish but my enthusiasm there waned a little even though I bought some cutting compound. Maybe best to leave it to someone more experienced. Crap day for pics I know, but here you go..

Awesome purchase Rod! Take care of the car and you'll really enjoy it. Great machine and those wheels are perfectly suited, mine old 540i had some too, looked fantastic, but needed lowering at the back.

haha my wagon in that club too! they really are one of the best looking wheels for E34, and they are so cheap

These took far to long to post, I took them last year before he sold it ?

surely ur not serious muppet Get back to the housework

Someone has to provide the entertainment....anyway,what's wrong with outdoor sex !!!!!

Whilst doing research on the value of my M Coupes I came across an interesting article: http://www.mcoupebuyersguide.com/future-m-coupe-collectability Given that this is from a US perspective (where the vast majority of M Coupes reside} I wonder how this formula applies to the rest of the world.

also 540i with snitzers club LOL sans the wing same car?

Can't go wrong with your collection there Ray. The m coupe has to be the most outrageous hot rod bmw have ever made. I read it was dreamt up and implemented by an engineer at bmw m after normal working hours.
