E34 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Gday there, I picked up my 540i on Tuesday for a bargain price, bloody great cars, even in auto form, even better when shes been returning 10.5l/100km on my daily commute from the Shore to Botany. This is my second E34, after my 525 manual, they still hold their own after all these years. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E34 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Just ticked over 203k. I'm the fourth owner, NZ new with full history. I know the 6 cylinders can do big miles but I'm not too sure about these, will know sooner or later haha. Will be keen to take it to drag wars when they start up again.

Mine has done about 205km...I think Simons has done over 350?? When I took mine to dragwars I ran a 15.0, completely standard except for some 17 inch rims. Hope you enjoy your purchase Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
