PS if you land up parting this wagon for what ever reason, can I have your rear bumper :-) haha Pics in the showroom section, something will have to go seriously wrong for me to end up parting out the 540, its enough of a struggle coming to terms with selling it, let alone breaking it up! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E.g. I'd ask if you wanted to trade for a mint E30 ;-) Edited November 21, 2015 by Charlie F. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattA 162 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 What's it like on gas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aja540i 1903 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 What's it like on gas?It LOVES gas! It sits on around 13.4 how i drive, about a 50/50 mix of town and motorway. I have had it down to 9.9 on a long haul, and someone with lighter feet could probably get that average down into the mid 12s. I will throw in part of a tank of gas for the new owner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattA 162 Report post Posted November 21, 2015 Haha Q was tongue in cheek, mocking tm, was going to ask if it's faster than a civic type R ;-) Good luck with sale and tardme questions. Fuel burns not too bad,a little more than the e34, I'm about 12.7 average over 10k or so, but more motorway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
