Well Done David - glad to be on board, Cheers, Frank xenonOz _____ From: BMW540iLE@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BMW540iLE@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of David Sent:...
Geoff Courtesy of the new M5 Yahoo site, we now have an appropriate location to continue our discussion!! And you will have to post some pics on that site and...
Hi Frank, I am in much the same place as you - stretching one income to cover everything etc, etc. But if it's any consolation, my car has just clocked up...
Thanks Geoff; I appreciate that. I won't go into too much detail, but I only got into BMW's 4.5 years ago; after having a 2nd hand 1983 Ford Laser for 14.5...
Frank FWIW i find my bridgestone g3,s in 23545 17 on my 535 fine.They seem to have a perfect mix of wear and grip and dont seem noisy.I dont have much...
Frank I've had my LE since it was 9 months old with 9k on the clock. I have one little problem in that my rear wheels are 17 x 9 which means no tyre...
mine is a daily driver too.when you say $350 is that each or the whole set.Are toyos that much cheaper?In NZ there arent that many choices in 235/45 17.Or did...
#28 is running Dunlop Formula FM901's [Japanese] and whilst grip is good and wear appears OK, they are as noisy as and tramline like crazy. I have Toyo's on my...
I am running Pirelli P-Zero Rosso Assymetricals - 235/45/17 on the front and 255/40/17 on the rears (like Harvey, I have the 9" rear Throwing Stars). These...
We had the car in for a Pre purchase, we were very thankful that the owner could travel all that way in terrible weather conditions. The car has just had an...
Thanks Paul; that's great. When I bought the 323i (2nd hand back in 2001) it had 235/45/17 GT- Radials on it. They were pretty well worn, so I needed to...
Thanks Harvey; appreciate the feedback. As I've just written to Paul, I had Continental ContiSportContacts on the 323i before. Normally a $470 tyre back in...
G'day Paul, $350 is for 1 tyre. And that's reasonable. Expect to pay $650 EACH for Michelin Pilots, or Pirelli P-Zero (Rosso or Corsa). Cheers FrankV #15 ... ...
Thanks David. 'scuse my ignorance ... but what's TRAMLINING? The term's been used in 3 reply posts to my query, but I have no idea what it means. Cheers FrankV...
Another Tyre which may be of interest are Nankangs. I had them previously on my M535i and weren't too bad, a little noisy on cornering but with the weight...
Tramlining is a term which descibes the phenonema where the car tends to follow lines of uneveness in the road which are more or less parrallel to the...

Hi everyone. Just wondering what LE's are for sale at the moment and if so what sort of price they are asking. My 535is was rear ended today and although it...
Hey Everyone, There's been a few discussions in the last couple of days about tyres so
I thought I would chuck in my 2c worth :) I've been through a few tyres...
Hi David, I have the only factory 6-speed manual E39 540i in Australia :) and I am

David I am aware of 2 LE's currently for sale, both of which have been mentioned in the messages belwo. The first is #27 - a Petrol Mica over black leather car...
Simon Thanks for posting. As the only E39 6 speed, your car is certainly a very rare car in Australia and makes our 70 E34 540i/6's look positively common! ...

Members One of the things that seems to go on our cars at around this age, is the PCV rear covers. I know this for a fact as I have had to replace this part on...
Hi David, very sorry to hear of your loss. It was a beautiful car. These are strong beasts though, so maybe it can be repaired? The main thing is that nobody...
Hi Frank, re your tyre question, there is a recent useful thread on this subject on the LE message board. The general consensus then was that a European tyre...
Paul, Yes, you can have 1st dibs on them .... :o) And they're all 17x8! 2 of them have a little gutter rash (not from me, mind you ... I haven't marked them at...
G'day David, sorry to hear about your rear-ended 535is. I can't vouch for the other models, but I went from a 323i to the LE, and I absolutely couldn't be...
