John As a matter of fact, I did buy it. So I now have 2 LE's (or will soon)! Unfortunately, as my darling wife can't seem to understand the justification for...
Hi David, that's a shame :/, I was hoping to have a look at it :>! We can't have you hogging all of the LEs! Guess I'll have to wait for another low km example...
John Sorry about # 62. As it was a car I know through friends, I jumped at the chance and bought it sight unseen. Hopefully it is as good as I believe it to...
Hi there fellow KE owners. I have no 53 (photos on the site) which has done just under 150k. Unfortunately it has only done 2000k in the last 12 months due to...
There are a 6 LE's out there for sale now that I know of - and there is something for everyone really! #19 (one of my LE's) - Petrol Mica, bi-colour interior,...
Jono & other members The car Jono refered to is also for sale on Carpoint.com. Pics are better there and you can clearly see the rego number - which is the ...
Hi all, I looked at #47 when it was for sale in 03, it was at the dealership for well over 6 months. Then it appeared one day at the workshop I get my BM's...
Garry Thanks for the background info on #47. It makes me feel like my car, which isn't 'rough'is keenly priced in comparison. In terms of #52, I believe it is...
Hi there owners I am the new owner of #41 and yes you are right the front left shock needs to be replaced. Any ideas what the correct part number for it is. ...
Hi folks I am currently interested in purchasing 27/70 but have some concern about the longevity of the motor due to the cars possibly having Nikasil cylinder...
Richard First, congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the group. I am sure that you will find 540iLE ownership as rewarding as all of us. From the...
Gary Welcome to the site. As you can see from the above messages, there are a number of LE's for sale at the moment, so hopefully you will find the right one...
Hi David, and welcome Richard. Just thought I'd mention that there is another option for your suspension. When I was faced with the prospect of replacing the...
Members I have sourced a copy of the Aug 95 edition of Wheels, which has a 10 page article comparing our LE's to the HSV. Due solely to price (and I suspect a...
Geoff, I'm puzzled. If you are talking about the suspension from the E34 M5, it is the same EDC 111 electronic suspension as in the LE, so I'm not sure what...
Sorry David, I should have been more specific. The early E34 M5's (< 92) were available without EDC, though most had the self levelling rear end. The BMW part...
Geoff & David You are both correct. By 1995, all M5's came with the full EDCIII suspension as standard. I think it was not an option until the 3.8 first came...
There is no way that I would swap out the EDC shocks unless the car is a hack, which a few of the LE's now are Sulphur in fuel issue is not applicable to...
Hi David, I seem to recall an article of one page around 1996 in "modern Motor" as it was then called I think. My brain cells are that good but a search on...
Hi there, there was another article in wheels March 1996 which was part of a "speedfest feature" the car used was the same one as the HSV comparo. I had a copy...
David, I have tried to read the article but find it difficult. Can you scan it at a higher resolution then PDF? I can PDF if necessary and put them on the ...
Hi all Thank you for the input about #41 I did get a price for the replacement of the 2 front shocks of just over $4000 fitted. My motor was replaced at 50k...
Umm, Then I'm in trouble.. mine has done 16k in the last six 25k is around average use for most cars and Australia has low sulphur content fuel. Don't believe...
Sounds like a trip top the library to do some research through the back copies of Aussie car mags around 95/96, might be in order. Interestingly, I obtained 2...
Careful Ian, I can assure you, my car is not a hack - the price of the electronic dampers is a joke and my point is that there are alternatives to being ripped...
For those of you interested I have updated the photo's for #47. I spent a fair amount of dollars getting the car back up to sratch as there were a number of...
