yuh i know that, just thought that the 540is may have come out with throwing stars as standard, or possibly a factory option.

Cool, haven't seen that one before.

Never would have come with 16 inch wheels. The interior is correct for the iS. Still like the Black wood inserts better.

It's low k's, but missing the extras the LE has. I don't think the Standard iS ever came with Throwing Stars.

Can someone keep an eye on it and let me know what it goes for.

Cheers

540 badge wrong side,bloody //m badge on it,look like the one for sale about a year ago...

Cains car is very special there wont be another in NZ .Its actually a Aussie Model we didnt get it,so the 540 IS would have been THE 5 series in 1994.If it goes for anything like the price thats on it its a bloody good car for that money,looks in good nick too.

Bidding at $10,000, 10 days to go, red flags up, so it's selling. Seems to be lots of interest.

That steering wheel is not the M (4 spoke) one. It's the same as Paul's 535 on (off memory). Can't remember one like that before.

Nicer looking wheels than the one in Wellington. Mate, they are some km's.

what is the difference Cain between yours and an IS,they dont have the edc suspension...anything else?Do the NZ 540 run cats and O2 sensors or were they built for dirty petrol(ie leaded?)

The 540LE (officially our car) is the top spec 540i with M5 running gear(EDC, Turbine mags), but with the Cruise control, Sport seats, ASC+T. Little extras like the illuminating Gear knob (M5), Memory seats (honestly couldn't comment on the standard iS), No climate control. 4 Spoke M stitched wheel.

And as you know Paul, only 70 RHD drive models built to this spec.

I'd need to park a normal iS next to ours to spot the complete set of differences.

Went for a drive today

Couldnt be to specific re actual specs but seems to have every available option,feels quite different to the 535,engine very impressive,body, paint ,interior not quite as good as mine.

Did i mention the engine!

Steering and brakes felt wooden and unresponsive compared to the 535

Has the memory seats too and the left mirror drops down when you engage reverse,didnt notice cruise control!

But that engine......
