me to mate, wasnt willing to let that opportunity just pass me by, was just hoping like f it was my day,lol.

yea mate, but i was nervous asf, lol, until the deal was completed and we were driving away. Couldnt really believe i was getting an IS for that price.

Hi Michael, Yes mate, wont be changing colour, its 1 of 6 NZ NEW that has the M PACK. Only 3 NZ NEW in Hellrot red. Even though i just love the colour techo violet, this car will be staying hellrot red.

Hey mate, i think we all were a bit confused about the 5k price tag. No not an auction, was on FB market place, so anything goes i guess. Was my first time buying anything from market place lol. When the guy finally contacted me, he said someone had put in a offer of 6500, so i put in a 7k bid and asked if i got out bidded to contact me. He never did, and the next minute i seen the car was sold, couldnt believe it to be honest, was gutted. But god loves a tryer, and no not religious lol. So sent him a couple of messages more, saying thanks for considering my bid, was happy to go to 10k plus and could pay cash that day, said i hope it went to a bmw enthusiast. Next minute i am getting a phone call from the guy saying the first deal fell through at 7500, guy who turned up was put off by the paint. Went had a look, and knowing he was just about to let it go for 7500, we talked and settled at 8500. It was a bit of a weird dealing, we just couldnt believe our luck, i said to my partner while we still had an active bid in, if its meant to be, it will be. And what do you know, we are the very happy owners of a 540IS with M Pack in hellrot red. Re spray is on the cards very soon.

cheers man, pics will come after a much needed re spray.

Yeah mate, cheers ay. woke up this morning and still cant quiet believe it to be honest. Car is in good nick apart from paint job, re spray is the 1st thing to get done. Will def post up some pics. 👊

The gods were on my side for once, and finally picked up one of the 96's hellrot red 540IS on the weekend (not the unicorn, but I aint complaining). Great to find out it came with the M PACK! Car just needs a re spray, which will be done over the next month or two. Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the feeling of owning a E34 540IS, something to treasure for a life time.

Wow John, what a beautiful example that is! looks very clean indeed! Just love the Techno Violet.

I hear ya regarding the mags on the 96, hence why I am putting the BBS's which you see on the 93 onto the 96. 93 now rides on 18's chrome deep dish with black spoked centers. Thought the same thing though regarding how tidy it is, just couldnt pass it up for the money. When I brought my 93 in 2012, I got it for 3750, lol. Have to agree, they are very much value for money, but parts are slowly starting to be harder to find. Yeah seen that one on TM listed today, one could hardly complain about the price, bloody steal imo for what one is getting. Mate dont tempt me on your E34 535iS, they are a beautiful car, but for me it would have to be after a 540iS, by then I might be priced out of the market.

Thanks Jon, I bet there is! ok here is a pic of my 93 about 4yrs back down the mountain, needs a little minor front bumper work at the moment. 1st two are the 93, next two are of the 96 I just picked up, just waiting on it being shipped up from Dunedin. 93 has 18's on it now, will put theses 17's BSS's on the 96 when she arrives. Will add better pics once 93 is finished and have them both out in the glorious sun!

Hi all, New to these parts, but have owned a E34 93 540iA in Alpine White since 2012, drove it as my daily until the start of 2020. Was costing to much to get my son to football trainings, lol. But in saying that I have just recently bought another E34, but a 96 540iA, and yep in Alpine white, lol. Hey just cant help myself, just love a E34 in white. Yes was on trade me. My 93 had 289km when i got it, really drove it, my son and I would often head to the snow, what a great 4 and half hour drive that is. Well sometimes a little quicker. Remember giving a Q7 a good run back to Auckland one time. Now it has around 380km and still kicking strong, about 15k also helped keep her maintained as a daily. Just about to get heater core done and 2nd radiator, and then finally panel n paint. Yeah this car isn't going anywhere, my son already taking ownership, cant blame him, he grew up in it., loves the thing as just as much as I do. Now I have the two, the 96, I will keep it how it is since it has the lower kms at (146) and is in pretty original condition body wise, hell, still has the BMW torch in the glove box. Will change mags to a nice set of BBS's I have. Then this gives me the opportunity to body kit the 93 out, should be ready for pics in about 6 months time. Look forward to sharing. I just love the idea of having a stock looking and a modified looking E34 540iA, but now this leaves me with the question, do I need to buy a E34 540iS? why yes I do. Seriously, if ones up for sale. Did someone say E34 M5! Hahahaha, I wish, cant afford that dream. But def keen on the 540iS. Peace n all that

Hey, if anyone hears of a E34 6 speed up for sale, would be very interested to know about it. Already own a couple of E34 540iA, 93 and 96. Cheers Bobby
