Take yer time mate lol Why you selling? Moving up to better things? or you deserting us?
selling because i bought a bmw 540i e39 and dont need two cars :) :B_steerin
Nice to have you back!! Albeit somewhat briefly by the sounds of things!! Just cos you dont own a T5 any more doesn't mean you have to leave tho ;) x
well, if a rica'd v70r manual(pre 2000)came up at the right price i may be tempted to sell the beemer ;) i hate autos lol :B_steerin

lol, not quite, the bmw steptronic is no match for a real manual, i dont like front wheel drive so the t5 albeit fast was not the ideal, and i only got the bmw in auto coz manual ones are like hens teeth. did look at skylines but only 2 dr and need 4 min coz of kids. u may have guessed i need power lol. i modded the 540 within a month, chipped and s/s exhaust to give about 305-310bhp depending on fuel :)
Those be nice figures you got there sonny (lol) - how does the bimmer compare to the T5 (other than the lazy mans box) x
well, aside from being about 300kg heavier it's not that bad to chuck around the twisties, no torque steer coz rwd ,steering is a bit heavier but not bad really, the t5 was quick but the 540i is soooo much faster off the line and in overtaking acceleration.a stretch of rd near me has a section of duel carriageway and is uphill for about 3/4 of a mile. from between 60 and 70 mph in 3rd the t5 would reach about 115-120 b4 it became single carriageway, the 540 got to a smidge under 140 b4 i chickened out lol, would prob get just over 140 i think and still be safe :d would be interesting to see what a modded v70r would be like on the same bit of (private ) road :B_blite:
