The reason I asked about the 'throwing star' wheels is that my mechanic has these on this 540i auto. They were an item he installed later. While having a...
... (rather long) story of my car, with many of the parts from number 22. Number 22 was indeed a white Adelaide car originally, written off in 1998 after a...
I got this info from a mechanic. His uncle was the panel man who repaired the original body. My guy had serviced the resulting can a couple of times. His...
Chris As you would be aware, this car was advertised for around 1 month starting late Aug 2004. I understand that it then sold. I asked the seller to pass on...

David, Sorry I missed you last week in melbourne, unfortunately a prior engagement. I am pleased to advise that 67 of 70 is now back on the road having been...
Ray Likewise, sorry I missed you. I am glad to hear that # 67 is again back on the road. I didn't realise it only has 67,000kms on it! And interesting about...
It appears that #46 has turned up in NZ. I know little else about the history of the car (although have a copy of the build sheet) and how it arrived there,...
Hey guys I am the culprit for finding #46.I am looking at this car,the owner claimed it was one of the 75(sic) and I asked david if it was so and voila it is.I...
Hi guys, i'm new to the list and interested in tyre suggestions for the 540iLE. The ones currently on the car "Howl" (i'm guessing there OFF! BIG Time") The...
Gerry Welcome to the site. I too am interested in tyre options. I will be looking at new tyres myself soon for #62. I most recently ran Falkens on # 19, and...
Hi David, Firstly let me apologies for not contacting you as promised when you were in Melbourne. Unfortunately I had to make a rushed trip to Brisbane. Yes I...
I run bridgestone 235 45 17's on my 535 and they are fairly quiet and seem very grippy,in that i have never had a moment but i am not a real press on driver...
Guys, My best experience has always been with Continentals. They may look ordinary but looks are very deceiving. Quite simply they work exceptionally well on...
Hi All When i worked on the tyre industry the motto was "European cars work best on european cars" despite knowing this I got talked into Yokohama AVS1000's...
Hello all, as per previous posts below, I would tend to go with the euro tyres. I have tried several brands on my car (Dunlop, Falken, Yokos etc.) and, like...
Hi everyone, I just thought I would second Geoff's comments regarding Pirelli's. I
have P-Zero Nero's on my E39 540i and have found them excellent. I have...
Well, on the basis of the recommendations, it sounds like the Pirellis are the way to go. But to correct Simon, quite a few of the LE's do have the 9" rears....
One thing to note regarding the Pirellis. From my experience with the P Zero Asymmetrico tyres, although they do have great grip, they seem to wear out very...
I have about 10,000 klicks on the Pirellis, and based on the current wear rate, they should do 28 - 30K. The previous Dunlops were knackered at 25K. Cheers,...
I also got 30k km out of my PZero Asym. on the 540i and that comprised
some fairly "spirited" driving :-) They didn't last as long my my M3 but that included...
My opinion on the Tyre selection is as already stated stick to the European brands, Continentals on my 535is were heaven and so so quiet. would get about...
Paul, I they are the eco contact version- on 16" rims. They don't look much - but they sure work very well indeed. In fact we're so impressed with the Conti...
