Custom e34 on ebay - quite the description

1. The front end is up so high it would give you a nosebleed. Either that or it was the first year of the 540ix...

2. It doesn't have the nice 12-way seats that my 540/6 has.

3. My CAN-spec 540/6 has the same high pressure headlight/fog washer (heated, BTW...he didn't mention that) as his "special M5/M540i" car.

4. Blech! That rear valance looks bad, IMO...

6. What "6-speed auto" is out there? Is this not just a regular ZF 5HP30?

Aside from the write-up details and the lower rear valence, not a bad ride...$11k CAD is not bad for a car with 160,000-ish km's (~100k mi)

Cheers,

$9k US for THAT? For starters, the ad reeks of BS, and there's no mention of records or mechanical condition. He mis-represented countless things, and the body kit is fugly. I saw a 540 M-Sport auto go for $12k, so I don't think a regular 540 auto is worth $9k. Hell, I'd sell my 540/6 for that.

Upgraded to a 6-speed automatic transmission? WTF?

Matt, tell you you mean selling your 540/6 for the M Sport, right?

Nah, I wouldn't want the auto. I meant I'd sell my 540/6 for $9k. Maybe, depends if it's pissed me off that day.

DOH! Seen, Matt...missed the auto bit on the M-Sport you mentioned. Since my left knee hasn't given out yet, I still maintain that a sporty car must have a manual transmission!!!
