Has wide bonnet flare like the V8s Cheapie for someone Linkage Looks like one of the quite a few ex-UK 6cyl 530 manuals. Not bad cars. There a quite a few 5's on $1 Reserve at the moment. A couple of E39 540i's too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted November 6, 2007 Id say the bonnet has been replaced at some point. Only the v8's had the wide 'flaring' but the grill is still the thin version indicating a straight 6. Having said that it could be the bonnet is genuine and the grill and headlight surrounds have been replaced ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted November 7, 2007 There is no doubt you could fit the wide bonnet and kidneys on all the cars, but it was (as far as I know) only the v8's that had them from the factory. It was certainly that way for the e32's....not to say your arent right of course Darryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
