Creaver 55 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Have a 540i with an adaptive trans and ASC if interested Ray 0212435526 What do you mean by adaptive trans and what is ASC? Is it around the 5kmark? Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELLBM 1530 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Auto trans with sports mode and an adaptive mode that learns your driving pattern. ASC is traction control. can be turned on or off. 540 vs 535. I`ve owned many of both, auto and manual.540 is by far the better. $8500 Bimmersport price. regards Ray 0212HELLBM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Hey Ian Have you seen this 540? Looks absolutely mint and a good price too TM Linky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaver 55 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Doesn't look like I can test drive anyways, LOL. I saw this a few days ago but sorta fobbed it off due to Automatic and his strict test drive allowance. Looks good though, I'll save it to watchlist. Cheers for looking around. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
