arros 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Up for sale is my 2001 540iASE- Genuine factory Kiwi new Motorsport ex Ray's car- Silver with 19" alloys for those who may have seen it in his garage. Bought it off him only a couple of months ago. Moved heaven n earth to get the $ to buy it and now as much as it has tommented me to sell unfortunately ill need to look at getting a wagon (kids in tow) 2001, Silver, M62TU 4.4 V8, 139000 km Black leather interior 19†alloys: 275 rear 235 front. Good tread. Bilstein adjustable shocks Reversing camera, Park Distance Control Moon roof From the build sheet: Shorter final drive ratio Alarm M Sports Package M sports suspension II M sports steering wheel, multifunction M Aerodynamics package High gloss shadow line window trim Headlining anthracite (black headlining) M5 side mirrors- retractable and passenger reversing auto dipping function Interior surface aluminium trim Side airbags for rear passengers Lift-up-and-slide-back sunroof, electric Sun-blind, rear Sports seats Park Distance Control (PDC) Xenon Lights with(white light) angle eyes, White direction indicator lights, LED rear lights, clear indicators On-board monitor with TV (16:9) CD changer for 6 CDs Car phone with cordless receiver Dynamic stability control Automatic air conditioning 2 keys, Brand new spare wheel (17" Motorsport) Oil and filter change a few hundred k’s ago and she’s running sweet Car will come with new radiator- yet to be installed. Current radiator looks absolutely fine. I just bought it as part of preventative maintenance. Engine head oil seals replaced (BMWorkshop) Transmission has been fully rebuilt (BMWorkshop) which is fantastic Car is in very good condition. No dents. Few scuffs and bonnet/bumper stone chips in keeping with age. The only issue that needs attention: The ‘Check Brake Linings’ warning light has just come on- needs new Brake Pads and at least front rotors. Have sourced these from Christchurch but have yet to purchase the parts ($550). Need to get this done but will adjust sale price accordingly if car sells in the next few weeks. Documented service history- not complete but pretty good Comment was that this car is possibly chipped as well (as well as short drive ratio) though I can't confirm this. Someone drove this car and commented on it's acceleration- 'My 540 is a dog in comparison' The shorter drive ratio gives it some serious go. I've had a standard 540 myself and there is definitely a difference. $16900 ono Edited November 21, 2012 by arros Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No hideous woodgrain! YAY! and a real Sport bumper, instead of the ill fitting M5 replicas. Edited November 21, 2012 by Allanw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
