BMW 97 540i - PICS (at last - 56k hmm)

Pinter75 · 20 Jul 2006 at 16:18

Ok, I got the opportunity to take some pics today. It still has only has a jet wash and a scrub inside. I have yet to give it a good polish.

Next on the list is a set of newer "Angel eyes" with clear indicators. Then possibly sports bumper or lip spoiler.

Here we go.

Looks great, really like the wheels and agree that a set of clear indicators will really freshen it up.

Cheers,

I was not too sure on the wheels, but they have grown on me. £660 fitted :-)

Gosh, that looks stunning.

Stick a fresh set of headlamps/rear clusters on, and it will give the car a fresh lease of life.

Very close to looking (and sounding

) like an M5.

Is it an automatic?

Is it an automatic?

Yup with steptronic manual.

Push the lever over when it is in D, and you can go up and down the gears your self. Allthough it will step-in and prevent any funny changes.

Interesting. Although I think I would prefer going in the traditional manual shift pattern, ie
1-3-5

2-4-r

That is actually pretty damn nice

How much did you pay for it again? Bet it goes some.

Admittedly I don't actually know the market value of these cars, but that seems like a good deal to me! And the wheels are awesome.

Nice car dude.

Looks like a lot of car for the money, nice!

alexthecheese · 20 Jul 2006 at 17:33

Very nice car mate, even if it werent for the ridiculously low price that you got for it!

Now, this is what you want to be aiming for...
