    Sounds about right, not planning to test it on the street though. Bring on a track day.

    My 540i

    Yep This is her.. Got a 90 min check done by Jerry Clayton, she is mint. Relative comprssion is awesome, 5, 6 and 8 are down by only 1% I was saying with the Traction controll, it didnt seem to have much oopmh, ie, wasnt spinning the wheels at all... then i turned it off and yeah lol... plenty of guts. Though my old engine in my old car was pulling 200kw atw and weighed about half as much. On a closed track condition at 180kph in 4th, it was still pulling hard. Its scary.

    Thanks man, I dont intend to change em, Never seen a 17 with that much Dish before, Rears are 9", all i've seen in the Beryn Range at 9" was 18s. They were a Factory Extra at 4k, have the receipts for them Well Worth it.

  8. Top gear had a blind man go round their test track one season, i forget which one. Got around it in a smidgen under 2mins i think, faster than Wogan.
  9. Possibly, SE certainly rolls off the (English) tounge better than eS anyway...

  11. You should get ahold of one of the Contracts and read the fine print. What they cover is VERY little, and getting money out of them is like squeezing blood from a stone. For example, cam belt/chain failuure, not covered, in fact, any belt failing, not covered, so if you happen to have a car with a belt drive water/oil pump, no claim. And thats just the start.
  12. Some of you guys need to do some reading before you start trashing other Car brands; Im not saying im a Subaru fan, But it looks like you guys could do with some facts; http://www.ukintpress.com/engineoftheyear/winners/2_25.html Read that and have a little cry. BMW came in second. The reason subaru motors pop for all the little Kiddies is the Kiddies wind up the boost, and drive it like they stole it day in day out with power in excess of that the manufacturer intended. This clearly is not possible with a N/A BMW, however, i am to understand that Turboing BMW N/A Engines is not always a pretty affair? And i suspect that even a BMW Turbo Factory engine (With the exception of the M12/13) WOuld soon come to a short demise were you to wind the boost up and thrash it.
  13. 1994 540iS 8-9L /100k cruising, Round town, dunno yet, still enjoying the power too much to let it drop much below 30 on the gauge
  14. How rare is a 540i 6 Spd? Ive found one in the RIdes section, but am i right in thinking that they are really not a very common model?
