mr E34 11 Report post Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) IF YOU GUYS WANT TO SECURE SEPT MIGHT PAY TO ORDER NOW FROM YOUR LOCAL,(unless you have it flown out) BMW CAR MAGAZINE WILL HAVE A TEST ARTICLE ON YOUR CAR.......ONLY KNOW OF 3 ONRS, SIMON,CAIN & RAY. That is if interested, otherwise i won't bother posting this nonsense. Edit:August issue has the ultimate grudge match shootout.........THE ULTIMATE E34'S............................................... ALPINA B10 Bi TURBO vs E34 M5 (3.8ltr) Edit again: They should have included the 540is in the grudge match, would have been interesting!!!!!!!

Guest Simon* Report post Posted October 21, 2008 Well guys I haven't managed to find a copy of this down here in Napier. Has anyone bought it and read the 540i/6 article? If it's good I'd be v keen to get hold of a copy. If I could trouble an Auckland member to perhaps grab one for me I'll happily reimburse. Am passing through (very quickly) this weekend too. Cheers Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 I did find it and didn't buy it as it was an article on a Limited Edition M5, rather than a 540iS. Maybe, I'll go back and get it soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh in that case forget it everyone - M5's are just common If it's not about something interesting and rare like the iS or LE I can't be bothered Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
