Hi Ian, I have those thoughts too.(so no I can't bring you to your senses) Fairly logical I think after an E34 M5 or LE. And the E39 M5 prices have certainly...
Everything I have ever heard suggests the costs of maintaining an E34 pale significantly in the face of maintaining an E39 M5! You could probably buy a new...
Ian, give yourself an upper cut. You must be making way too much money to be thinking this way :) But seriously, I agree with David on both points. The sheer...
Agreed, Speaking for myself Ian, I'm no qualified auto mechanic, but I have managed to find my way round my pair of E34's with little to no help from...
OK guys … I get the message. Thanks. The plan was to keep the E34 M5 and ditch the 535 – so I was going to have a bit of a task to sell the wife on that. ...
Geoff, I'd heard about the Vanos - but I believe, like with the EDC issue with the LE's that there have been people looking for solutions. Electrics aren't my...
Maybe it would be worth getting in touch with Chris Brenn, he's on here I believe. Among other cars, he owns a very nice e39 M5, blue with cream and black...
Ok, not the greatest idea you've had recently! How deep does ones bottomless expense account run? Which model exactly are we looking for? Are you the Magnum PI...
I’ve known a few Ferrari owners… so, no. I guess I won’t get a Ferrari. The E39 M5 was in the mix because it comes in under the luxury tax limit for an...
For me it has to be a 348 GTS or an F355 – not that I’ve got a spare $140k . Cheers, MF PS – I asked Chris Brenn about the running costs of his E39 M5....

Hi Andrew. This is the listing number 380125201039 I was thinking track car, or just an excuse to have another E34. I've got 2 Vals in the shed, so 2 BMW's...
Well was looking for a minor water leak under #18’s bonnet and I touched the plastic fan shroud with my finger… And poked a hole in it ! The whole thing...
Andrew - the same happened to #62 a while back - bits broke of whilst I was at a track day. I ordered it in from BMA. Incidentally, except in hot weather or...
Hi David, Yes I have parked it as it is also using 1 litre of water every 2 days. That was why I was under the bonnet, looking for the leak. I checked Real OEM...
I hope that water leak is external, not internal…. _____ From: BMW540iLE@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BMW540iLE@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Cameron Sent:...
Andrew - can't recall exactly, but a figure in the US$40's comes to mind. Agree with Ian also. Given the deterioration of the shroud, the question should be...
Hi Andrew, I have also replaced my fan shroud - it's a common failure. The plastic just gets brittle over time. $50 sounds about right. The other comon failure...
You guys had me worried so I just popped the bonnet on #65. New radiator, and new shroud. And hopefully new water pump. Rob. ________________________________ ...
