Hi all, My names John Robinson, i've got one of the original Oz delivered E34 M5's. I've had the car since 1998, and have been active in the online M5...
Welcome John. I am glad you found your way here. Please feel free to post some pics and the details of your car on the database. If you would like me to do...
Thanks for the welcome Dave. I've added my car to the database, and posted a pic as well. Also, if anyone is interested in reading my horror story of my engine...
Hi again, I'm not sure if everyone realises or not, but one of the 45 cars imported into Australia was one of the first 3.8 litre models, with a 5 speed...
I was just reading one of the old messages, where there was talk of an M5 being written off in Melbourne. Some of you may know Steve Gasparinatos, who raced an...
John Thanks for loading your details and the pic. The car looks great with the M-Parallels. In terms of the meet at Southern BM, was a great afternoon. We had...
I've been wondering about this. How many of the 45 are left after accidents, stolen and burnt out, not repaired 'cause of engine problems etc? I would love to...
Ah. I had heard rumours of a 3.8 M5 in the country and even that it was the BMW MD's car! But nothing to substantiate the rumour. Would like to get some pics...
John I don't know Steve, but am aware that he has a Macao blue M5 in Hobart. Probably the only other E34 M5 in Tas apart from mine. I understand that he has...
To add to the talk of M5's being written off I came across another one being wrecked. It looks to be Diamond Schwarz in colour and is advertised as a...
Hi Dave & John, Not sure whether I should let the truth get in the way of a good story:) Firstly, my wife is not blonde. It took me about 3 months to replace...
Hi all, Everyone here knows that the 44 Oz delivered E34 M5's that came here all came on the same boat in 1990, but were sold as 1990 - 1993 models depending...
Steve Welcome to the site. It is great to have people like you and John joining whose history with these cars goes back as far as yours. I am glad to have got...
John I did not actually know that. Very interesting. I always wondered about the '1993' claim etc on the Australian cars. Mine was built June 1990, but...
Hey Steve! Thanks for posting, it's great to hear from you again mate. I've been meaning to ring for ages, but time gets away from me.... Great news about the...
Hi Dave, I was aware that Lance Dixon owned a car in Melbourne, but I've never seen it unfortunately, so I can't tell you anything about it. Regards John _____...
All, If anyone is interested, I have my staggered original wheels and the throwing star wheel covers advertised on ebay at the moment. They have been up all...
David, Now you've had time for your new baby to settle in, i have to ask the question... I have circa $30K to spend on an E34(hypothetically at this stage), ...
Garry A good question. And to answer it I would have to ask you a question. What do you want to use it for? There is no doubt that the LE is more refined,...
There is also a white one that was imported for evaluation but was deemed to be too expensive and we got the 540iLE. Last time I heard it was in Bendigo. BobZ ...
M5 but I am biased. M5's are becoming rare but the LE is easier to live with day to day due to the fat torque curve, and they are cheaper to maintain. BobZ ......
So, David, how did you go out at Baskerville yesterday? What were your impressions of the E60? Steve, what sort of laptimes are you doing in the new car? ...
John Unfortunately, I couldn't get out there until about 3pm. I rang Steve and spoke to him, and he said he would only be out there until about 2pm. So I...
Hi Guys, just to add my 2 cents - having also recently become acquainted with an M5 - I can certainly endorse David's comments. The two cars are quite...
John Pics look great. I love these cars in Macao Blue. The dark paint combined with the lighter lower trim works better than the cars with light paint and...
Thanks David, The wheels I've fitted are 18x8" all around. I wanted 9" on the rear, but the offset on those wheels is a little too much, which pushed it too...
David, Thanks for the welcome. Sorry for the tardy responce but been having some probs with my email. The original M5 (vin GA25199) had light grey upholstery...
