Are you sure its not steering system that's causing the vague feeling? Idler arm\bushing is probably the most common wear item on that side of it. Wheel alignment and tyres could be another area. Complete Meyle HD or Lemforder control arms would be my pick, the ball joint isnt replaceable. Id probably do the lower arm at the same time unless you on a budget. Front sway bars bushings may yield a small improvement if they haven't been done already.

An E34 540i is one of the best value BMWs going IMO.

I've not looked on TM for some time but I did a search for 540i today and found a couple of E39 over the 20k mark and the e60 and f10 prices seem to be dropping 8k is the cheapest E34 and E39's start at $6k the E34 tops out at $13k and the E39 at $30k with a reserve 2000 BMW 540i Motorsport | Trade Me Motors $6k down from $8.5k 1994 BMW 540i 540I | Trade Me Motors $8k 1993 BMW 540i | Trade Me Motors $10k with reserve 2000 BMW 540i E39-Fk | Trade Me Motors $11.5k 2002 BMW 540i 540Iase E39 | Trade Me Motors almost $13k 1995 BMW 540i 540I | Trade Me Motors $13k 1999 BMW 540i 540Iase E39 | Trade Me Motors $23.5k 1998 BMW 540i 540Is E39 | Trade Me Motors $30k with reserve and $36k buy now NZ new 6speed manual and 157500km Are prices really getting that high for a E39 I've seen a number of late model vehicles written off or sold to wreckers because repair costs are too high, at least the E39 is cheaper to repair than some late model cars and also last longer.

I might have got the price a little wrong. It did have a reserve at $29k. The $36 doesn't seem unreasonable to me - I would try and knock a little off. Not now obviously.

There's a bit of a E34 appreciation thread brewing here:

I do like the look of this 540i. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/540i/listing/3880865150

I like that ^ hue of white... 😇

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the kind words. Yes I'll have an oxford green 525i and a topas blue 540i msport coming up in next few weeks/months. And yes the timing chain guides have just been done on the 540, that and a fair bit else... it's currently still in paint shop for full strip and paint...

First time seeing one in the flesh - full M3 spec 320i

Yeah, recognised Apex in background - would love to see it on Alpinas with some Gold Alpina pinstriping 😍
