You can have your one back soon if you want. I've done the vanos for you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1659 Report post Posted December 20, 2018 Its too bad pre-facelift 540i sport models are so rare. Yeah sure you can make one from parts but it would be nice to be able to chuck on the facelift headlights and enjoy a simple V8 without all the crappy TU "features" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sard was locked up but s pied it at the back. Seemed to be a good looking cosmetic example. Well from a distance, and in fading light the front quarter did ☺️ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssbmw 217 Report post Posted December 22, 2018 I still remember Mike Hosking driving an immaculate example in Imola red / black leather in the early 00's. Stunning car - I'd see it regularly pottering around Newmarket / Parnell.. Wonder where that car is today. The early 00's seem like yesterday to me - it's extraordinary that we have moved on nearly 20 years. Despite not being a M car, these cars still ooze so much cool. Just like the E34 540is and the E34 535is before them. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BozzaFC 300 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 So, it seems someone picked this up cheap, drove it for a month, and is now selling it for almost double what they paid for it. Good luck to them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
