    Default E34 540i/6 is this true?

    http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/car/371027810.html

    The ad says there were only 133 imported into the US? Is that true?

    he probably means that colour / option package or something. people will say anything to sell a car.

    Havent a clue on numbers but 133 seems too high to me-who would order THAT colour if you they were spending their hard earned cash on a new BM?

    Is it just the light, or does it have chrome upper bumper panels like on the E32? Those pictures are horrendous.

    This advertisement is inaccurate. The seller is under the impression his 540i /6 is a 540i/6 Sport of which only approx 133 were 6 speeds, with another 57(?) of which are Automatics. I'm not certain on the exact figures, but I've seen other sellers make the same mistake. Just because it has a 6-speed, many think they own the limited edition Sport model. THIS CAR IS NOT A SPORT !!!
