yng_750 247 Report post Posted June 27, 2014 Up for sale is my 540I 1998 4.4l v8 199kms Selling as i have a road/race car and bm isnt getting much use. Non vanos so no worries there Well maintained Cosmos schwarz mettalic (black) Genuine schnitzer wheels. Two brand new tyres ( kuhmo) two half worn Recent maintanance includes 8x ngk iridium plugs. New rocker cover gaskets. Rocker covers redone in wrinkle black Radiator/thermostat replaced about a year ago. Runs at good 90'c open road. Thrust arm bushes Full synthetic penrite oil change 600kms ago. Previous owner spent just under 5k getting trans reconditioned so shifts beautifully. Also had oem rotors and brake pads fitted. All about 2 years 7000kms ago. Always run on top fuel. All dash pixels work. All electronics work fine. Black Leather in good condition. Only downsides. Couple of scratches and small dents. Worst is scrape over left rear wheel arch. Rear window tint is bubbling. Not really noticable in car hence havent fixed it. On long trips after 400-500kms in one sitting the traction control light sometimes comes on indicating an error and deactivating traction control. Light goes off when ignition is turned off and on. Had it scanned a few times including at dealer and no fault codes logged. Just a slight annoyance really. Have had it twice in a weekend once but also went 7 months without it so fairly intermittant. Again only happens on long distance runs. I paid 8.5k but happy with 6.5k if it finds a good home. Pm me or txt 02102745013. Car located in taupo but cam discuss transport. Will post pics when this rain stops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Just out of interest- what needed fixing after its run-in with that 5GT? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Grill, right headlight and right front guard were replaced. Most of those parts only had average damage done but repairer just replaced em as they do. The did put it on a chassis machine and checked radiator support panel etc and found it all with oe spec for straightness. Will try to track down before and after pics so any buyer knows what im on about. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
