Up she goes again!

Has to sell: I'm already modding my little runaround (promised I wouldn't!), so need some spare $$ to keep the Minister of War and Finance happy...

Come and take this fantastic machine off me...

I hear you: My old man bought a E39 M5 brand new, then supercharged it: I sold it a few years ago, after inheriting it and wanted another E39 fix, but without having to remortgage to get it.

Manual conversion in this car (if you feel the need) and supercharger kit, and you're done! Plus, unless you're very patient and lucky, you'll be driving a M5 with twice the mileage and the fugly 2-tone interior for more than the modded price of this one... :whistling:

Fact - BMW were very close to deciding not to release another M5 for the E39 generation, thinking that the 540i (particularly 540i/6 not sold here) was enough. Good thing they did, but says something about the performance of the 540.

Okey Dokey: Up she goes: much more intetest at this price point, but nobody has taken her home yet: You're still in with a chance!

She may be a bigger girl, but she's a real firecracker when you put your foot into her..... I'm just going to stop now.

Still For sale! :)

juuuust Bumping!

Plenty of interest. No interesting offers!

Getting frustrated with the number of "sight unseen" offers: come and see it. Drive it. Love it like I do!

This car will only go to a good home: it deserves that!

Must be frustrating Micah but it's not limited to your Bimmer, I got plenty of silly offers for my old R34 GTR as well.

In the end yours will end up going to a good home I'm sure. :thumbsup:

I know it will. It just takes the right buyer, and plenty of time... That's cars for you: listed the Wife's Ford Fiesta XR4 about 3 weeks before I listed the BMW: sold in 38hrs: right buyer at the right time...

I'm used to the lowballers: I used to import 3-4 cars per year for the purpose of driving all the "wish-list" cars I had in my teens/early 20's, then moving on to the next one: it was fun...

FYI people: this car has an agreed insurance value of $22500. Someone hurry up and buy it so I can finance more shiny go fast bits on my Stagea!

The Bmw is as honest a car as you will see: only top quality oils and parts used: it IS as good as it looks!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
