I gave up on finding a 540/6, so I bought a 535/5 that I am picking up on Saturday. $5900 without the bling wheels, I have a set of M parallels on the way (245/275 tire sizes too, I love it). In February or March, it'll be receiving a TCD Stage I kit (http://turbochargingdynamics.com/tcd..._Turbo_m30.htm). I hope to be running ~20psi with no internal mods to the engine. First few mods will be Bilstein Sport shocks and replacing the H&R springs with Eibachs. Here she is:

Looks nice, from small pictures that are 5-10ft away. Not fond of the headlights, but looks like an especially nice canvas to start with.Trevor Ely

Hot. Before E30s, I almost got into E34's... specifically 5spd, green, mint tan leather, modded 535i for $6750 (over two years ago, AC Schnitzter body kit, 8.5X17 & 9.5X17 old-school Hamann wheels)...
I wouldn't attempt to push 20psi uninter-/aftercooled on 9.0:1 compression... go all out and start with the TCD Stage 2 Kit... then get it professionally tuned, for a reliable 350whp, at least. Amazing daily driver.
Bigger E30 with more high-speed stability, comfort/luxory and power potential = E34. Enjoy, man.Last edited by Jarvis; 11-17-2005, 10:55 AM.

On bf.c a guy has the Stage 1 with 9psi and is putting out ~275whp, I hope to break 300 at the least.
I'll make a sick donut video this week to break her in.
