Driftit 2078 Report post Posted April 6, 2014 Not yet it's not. Auction that ends 20th April. 2 weeks is a long time for an auction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted April 6, 2014 And expensive to get up to scratch - after you remove the complete interior and wood trim and burn it, you have to find something nice to go back in.... Really though, I think it may end up cheap because the 540i/530i will confuse a lot of people, and even put some off. A lot won't look, if they think it's a V8, and those who really want a V8 will look and be disappointed! Keep it on your watchlist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted April 6, 2014 A quick check on car jam has it as imported 18 May 2007, Rego in Japan Feb 2003 and assembled in December 2002. Just out of interested what can a MK4 GPS computer be had for these days if the one in it is still the Japanese type?. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted April 6, 2014 Not cheap... When I looked into it for mine it worked out around $1.5K - cheaper to get an aftermarket Dynavin unit or similar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted April 7, 2014 Tending to agree with Allan here- now we have a motorsport E39, I look at the standard interior and think "bleargh!" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted April 7, 2014 At least you could buy it and if it turns out to be a sh*tter give it back and claim the auction was misrepresentative... Which it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
