kiwi535

i think ray got his one for 13 ish or so.At those sorta miles its at the low end but may need some replacement cooling components soon.i reckon 10 is the low end if you actually want the v8 sports manual. if you dont want it i will buy it.i reckon 15 would be max. if you service any bmw by the book they will be expensive,and the 540 will drink gas round town,although surprisingly good on the open road.It will have all the normal e34 quirks

dont know what the problem is but i have no problems (as far as brake sensitivity) swappin between the swift and the 5

i think they were M badged at Teh dealer,i think they were debadged from the factory cos i reckon BMW NZ wanted them to be e 34 M5 replicas.I wouldnt black out my kidneys cos the car is black it needs the chrome i reckon

they often wear hi viz vests,although you may be a bit close by the time you see that

no sound at all or not from radio?

contol arms or thrust arms or whatever complete with e34 M5 bushes will help the front end,if you dont want to go with urethane

"some sort of sunsheild in the back"..... classic

please tell me the interior colour is way off.....black and red surely,not grey and purple,looks like the frontand rear bumpers and sills were changed out in half an hour...what colour are the carpets the rest of the non black interior be?

something quite simple actually....rhd mats are not available here,ex dealer but places do them in the UK.trouble is the postage is as much as the mats!.Dont the 535 have the tech 2 wheel?

watch that tape mate...i had some on my car set up like that and we had quite a drive and scuffed up the paint a bit on the leading edge of the bonnet.

i got these 17 x 8.5 et 15 for 1100 incl tyres

5 series ftw=a little of each!

tidy leather even better this pic is at least 7 yrs old,and the seats are just as good now

good point!

E 34 touring would get 3 child seats across i reckon,be a bugger getting the kid in the middle one tho....then you have the back for all the "clobber"Could may be have a couple of rear monted seats in teh back.

totally true....would like an e34 M5 just for the fact that it is a M5 and they were so rare and ...But cold hard facts is i cannot justify the $$$ to get a minter (which i would want) then not drive it!

storage for ten years?!.....that would be a huge warning to me......i hope its been looked after.

No 535is is better than no E34 M5, and the price difference to get a m5 e is not worth the extra to ME!

3.6 wa the 5 sped,3.8 is the 6 speed. AFAIK all the bi turbos were LHD if the S38 needs work be prepared to spend big bucks

1990 535is was around the $135000 mark

20 years old 250 000 ks ans used evert day...and still a minter

i dont think the basket weave centre would actually match up exactly...whatever you do make sure you keep the originals to go with the wheels when(if) you sell.

or are you talking fuel economy??

i got a set of BBS 17 x 8.5 et 15 pcd 5x120 from a guy in auckland....basketweave look a likes ,so they are around

I know allan has had some experience of this with his e39 530
