    :(:(:(:(:(:(:Awesome M5 replica (with mirrors) with AC/scnitzer wheels and exhaust.:(:(:(:(:

    $13000 to Bimmersport members $13500 to anyone else

    Proper motorsport with low ratio rear diff

    pulls very strong

    Lowered by 25mm's

    18inch wheels

    Stainless exhaust, de-cat

    new fuel filter, pump, water pump, front shocks,radiator, front pads, rear handbrake shoes done and recent tyres.

    This cars have known cooling issues if you fit cheap chinese water pumps this has real BMW spares fitted.

    All the usual 540i stuff leather electric everything (including seats) rain sensing wipers, TV (working) SAT-NAV(still on japan but can be converted to NZ for about $250) Six disk changer in the boot.

    This car sticks to the road like shite to a blanket.

    ESP works so it's safe in the wet too.

    needs a fuel sender the fuel gauge isn't working (probably needs a clean).

    needs a wheel alignment and the front wheels balancing, also a small rip in the right side skirt which you can't really see.

    Other than that it a fantastic car, has the go to match the looks. Go on you know you want it, treat yourself now the recession over.

    Selling because I want the money for my targa cars roll cage and seats and engine work.

    Must go this week so make me a (reasonable offer)

    Will do if I can get the thing fixed before then.

    It had a cheap copy water pump fitted which has just failed (whilst the missus was driving it) it over heated and knackered the bonding on the side of the rad so I need to replace with genuine parts on there before I can check for further engine damage! So need to get that on before it goes anywhere!

    Keen to go though, was toying with swapping it for a Jag XJR but I figured if I'm spending money on fixing the thing may as well get the use out of it.

    540i Msport has the motorsport suspension pack and bodykit and aftermarket alloys and has the Tiptronic Auto Trans and M62B44 V8

    M5 had the six speed manual and the S62 V8 which made another 100bhp or so more than the M62B44, bigger brakes harder suspension better seats etc..

    the M5's over here are way to expensive and being manual aren't much good for all the commuting I do. I would love one but it would just annoy the hell out of me sat in traffic in a 400bhp monster!

    I've been thinking of going for a Dinan stage 2 chip but I don't know if anyone in NZ does the Dinan ECU uploads.

    The direction I'd like to take

    Bloody expensive Shows what you can get out of the M62B44 with just a software upgrade and intake / exhaust and supercharger

    Or should I just leave the thing alone?

    Hi all Darren here just picked up and '97 540i Msport, It was the one on Trademe with the 18in ACSchnitzer alloys,

    This is my second BMW I had a E30 325se in the UK that I loved to bits, It's a JAP import so needs the SATNAV sorting.

    I had test drove a 525 and 528 but they were pretty lame compared to the 540, the bloody thing just keeps pulling and the Tiptronic means I can have fun out of town but pop it into drive for the Mway.

    Great stuff! I live way up the Northwestern so have an hours drive to work each day and driving in an old nissan diesel was driving me mad. Got up early this morning just to have the roads to myself!

    Righto off for a SSS before work, By the way I've got a couple of kids and work in IT and love anything with an engine, or that takes 7.62mm nato ;)

    Cheers

    Dazzer the chav

    I'll stick some photo's up once I have some
