Grant 4 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 Sorry for the OT here...but Welcome Cain. One question, why are you selling the 540iS? For any potential purchasers here, it is a very nice car. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 Hi Grant Welcome home, nice springs and shocks too. I've commented on the 4 sale page as to why. But Deb drove a little 328 and liked it. So, seeing as I bought the car for her. I'll look for something else. Something to have a lash with and not be upset if I damage it. We're of to Europe next month, so it would be nice to have something new by then. Maybe, I can find some performance bits as we pass through Bavaria. No rush. I'm happy with the 540. I'd like a 318iS. Keep an eye out on the BMWCC web site. I'm compiling some info on our 2 race cars. You can get at least 216kW out of the S42 block.

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2004 Yes. The 540is was bought to tow one of our new race cars. You would know them better as the Diet Coke Super Tourers from BMW Motorsport Australia. I couldn't get one of them up here for the Track day last year as we ran out of transport. If you get to Christchurch sometime. I'm sure we can get you a look at them. Am trying to get my hands on some photos. I've only got real pictures. Haven't managed the moved to a digital camera yet. Hence the desire to get a 318iS, as I can get some beautiful bits to bolt onto it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
