Very interesting. BMW fans were offered both the 540i/6 and the 540i/6 touring in NZ, while we here had to do with the 540i/A sedan or a 525i Touring until...
David, I'm just gonna have to 'go with the flow' on whatever dates the group comes up with for the weekend drive. Being a shift-worker, I actually have to work...
There are now 14 of us who have expressed an interest in taking part in this meet. This includes myself but excludes those others who may be coming with group...
Thanks for that Paul. Confirms it is not an LE. All LE's except one have the last 3 digits either starting with a '1' or a '2' (eg BK35217 - mine). The only...
Richard - I was hoping to hear from you. Good to hear. Aytime you will be unavailable? The Cup week-end might not suit everyone so we might look at a ...
David I go away the cup week to bonville for a week of golf. I may be in Melbourne weekend after Melbourne cup. So i not much help with possible dates. Perhaps...
Further to yesterday's post, I have had a number of responses that make a few things clear. Format of the Meet: First, there appears to be no support for the...
David, Count me in too, as interested. Although the weekend of 4th-5th November may be difficult as I have arranged to go to Melb for the Cup and we are...
Peter The date didn't suit others either, so we have now brought it all forward by 1 week to the week-end of 27,28 & 29 October. Hopefully that week-end will...
Peter, how low are the kms on your LE? I've only just hit 105,000 on mine. FrankV #15 ... see ... the ... Nov. ... a ... who ... for ... cost ... additional ...
David et al, I'm not sure how you'd view a commitment like 'strong tentative', but that's the best I can do at the moment. I can certainly do the Alps drive on...
Frank At this stage I will note you as a yes for the Alps tour and a maybe for Winton. Except for the issue surrounding accommodation when we get there, there...
Thanks David, I think we all have to consider that we may need to stick to the speed limit in the Alps, and drive no more than .. say .. 80 km/h at the track....
Frank The price of petrol certainly hurts more these days than it used to. I recently spent $115 filling up the tank in the M5. But it is all relative. UK...
Well said David. Rgds Jonathan ... From: David To: BMW540iLE@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 1:58 PM Subject: [BMW540iLE] Re: E34 540iLE & M5...
I concur ...its still only a part of the cost of owning a car...An m3 wouldnt use much less petrol anyway....We have car yards advertising bring in your gas...
Frank! Don't listen to them!! I'll do you favour and take that horrible gas guzzler off you!!! Seriously, I had 2 6cyl Calais' prior to my LE and neither used...
As no-one has objected to the last week-end of October – we now have a date and a venue and a plan! The next things that need to be sorted are the route for...
David et al, I was reading a MOTOR mag from earlier this year, and saw that the road leading (up) to Mt. Buller is supposedly 'spectacular'. It's strongly...
... Hi Frank, It is certainly spectacular and is used as a hill climb, in which BMWCCV participates, occasionally during the year. I put my E34 M5 up it...
Frank, approx 86000 km. When I bought it just over 3 years ago it had only 49000km. The first year I had it I think I did about 20000. But now I do less than...
Hi David Count me in on the get together.Probably won't do race day but will be there to watch. There is a slim chance I may need to be back in Sydney on the...
