So this is my newly acquired 2000 model E39 540i/6

It all started a couple of months ago when a certain orinocco blue e39 530i went on sale. Alas I was late to the party and the car went to another fanatic. The regret I felt for missing out on that car cannot be expressed enough. I mean I really thought I would never find something that unique and in that condition ever again. There was a hole in my chest, and I feared that nothing would ever be able to fill it...

Fast forward a couple of months and lo and behold this 540i 6 gets put on Gumtree. Now the M Sport LCI orinocco blue 530i is one thing, but a MANUAL, pre-LIC 540i with the factory body kit is something else entirely. And it had only done about 140k kilometers. It had barely been run in!

I immediately called the owner up and arranged to view the car. We met and I think we had a very good relationship from the start, but the car. Oh my word the car!! As mint as the paint. Tight, responsive and eager to go.

After a test drive, I immediately started the ball rolling on getting it into my garage. There were a number of issues, but the owner sorted them out. The biggest scare was an error that could have meant an ABS unit failure, but it was just a wheel sensor.

I cant believe that I went from fearing that I would never have the chance to own a rare emerald to owning a magnificent diamond.

So without further ado, here it is...

I like the third last pic, :clapper:

If they driving F30 320i's you not going to be able to catch them.

They're actually driving much faster cars. That Hyundai especially will bitch slap any 320i.

But chasing isn't my tactic anyway, so I'm good. Thanks for your concern buddy.

Your 540i looks immaculate Victor. Cleanest one I have ever seen!

I'm just pulling your leg regarding the 320 etc.

Had a chance to take some photos at Michealhouse School in the Natal Midlands this Christmas. IF you have the chance I do recommend you pay it a visit. The chapel is beautiful.

Entry level DSLR with kit lens. Canon 650D with Canon 18-200STM. Some simple photoshop (sharpening/contrast).

But honestly, gear means less than practice and observation.

@Dewald & Rob... Thanks gents
