Creaver 55 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Hey guys, you might have seen me around the forums a bit over the last few months looking for a worthy BMW to sit in my stable. Well, the wait is over. Yesterday I bought this 1993 540iA from Palmy, sure it isn't manual, but it goes hard as it is and later down the track I will be looking into buying a conversion kit. Just got back from the trip and havn't had time to clean the beast yet, also, please bare with the photos, crap camera and I'm not very proficient with it. Enough blabbing, i'll let the pictures do the talking: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 We'll have to get together sometime and have a photoshoot. E34 540's are becoming as common as 3 series on the site now. Maybe more people are seeing the light and getting proper sized cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, yea, used almost a full tank from Palmy to Auckland, with a detail to Tauranga, the price we pay I guess . Ok, I admit, we didnt use the whole bottle, but there was a tonne of birdshit on the way which expended a fair amount of the bottle, haha. Yea, 540i shoot sounds like a plan :-) Edited February 5, 2008 by Creaver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
