leo 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Newbe Tokoroa Lifelong BMW fan, previously owned 328i manual and have recently got a 540i. It is a 1999 model with AC schnitzer body kit, 6s manual. Recently installed Gruppe M cold air intake and removed the resonator, love the sound now, a bit docile for a V8 before that I think. Amazed by the handling and the performance of this car the ultimate eh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
