soarer260@hotmail.com 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Hey, Well unfortunately I'm selling my recently acquired 540ia, I would rather keep it but need to free up some funds for a cheaper vehicle, and a range of video/pc equipment for my studies. I'm leaving it up for a month so if it doesn't sell I will be keeping it. Here are the key points about it. 254,000kms Blue Metallic in great condition 17" Alloys with good 245 Federal tires. Tidy interior Runs perfectly. Recent oil change/wheel bearings/coolant/radiator and a few other things Only problem with it is the control arm bushes are causing a shimmy at 80-100km/h which is rather annoying and not good for the other components, I would expect it to be sorted and fixed for about $500 for both sides, cheaper if you do it yourself, though it will need and alignment afterward I would imagine. Heres the Trade Me auction for pictures and more details http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=210356988 After around $6000 021-02425794 Cheers, Mike.

E34 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 Very nice interior. I will be putting mine on $1 dollar reserve tomorrow night for a quick sale, so you can see what sorta prices they go for (all of the ones on TM have been on there for a while, bugger all movement), I did the contol arms myself, retail the four arms were about $600, cheaper for the bushes but might as well get the whole arm. A lot of car for the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaver 55 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 Good luck with your sale. What's up with E34 540i's for sale lately?!?!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least I'll know what to buy next time when I'm after a sedan, probably go for an manual one next time (if I could find one) or a E39 540i M. I'm sure they will be cheap as anything in the coming years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, No TRC or LSD in this one. Also no Arm rests either. As of tonight I've reduced the price down to $5000, lowest I would take, but need the money for film gear asap. It is a shame to sell it as these are terrific cars, but I need to let go and put my money where I actually have to for my studies.

E34 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 Yep I've pretty much had no interest in mine, bidding is at $1600 after nearly one week on $1 reserve haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soarer260@hotmail.com 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Yeah, Ive been watching yours. I thought about putting mine on a $1 reserve but Ill probably just leave it and keep using it as is. Any reasons to why your selling yours? Edited April 5, 2009 by Mike-E34 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
