I believe I am the third owner, it is the original motor to my knowledge but have seen NONE of the symptoms of the nikasil issue. This thing drives perfect, and is very powerfull.

yea yea yea ... sure shipping arrangements could be made ... but it would cost about $1200 or more to get to where i would need it -- in NJ. Very nice car and if you were closer i'd be the next owner. i love the e34's lines. IMHO it's a much nicer looking car than the e39. i am a little curious about the 277whp. is that typical gains for the minor bolt-on mods???? isnt the engine (stock) rated at 282 hp crank??? figuring 18% drivetrain loss ... your car is putting out about 326hp. that seems alot for the mods you listed. maybe you just got an unusally strong engine. have you ever run your car against an e39 540 ... or an e36 M3??? How did it turn out???

Love the car man!!!

he is stating rwhp. thats hp at the wheel. enging hp is much less than the car actually puts out after it has to pass through the tranny, driveline, differential, etc.

and to answer a previous question, I don't have the car fax on me, but I know it was clear, my uncle ran it for me over the phone.

as far as shipping, i would be willing to lower the price or work something out so nobody is getting the bad end of the stick.

it really is dynoe'd at 277 rwhp, i watched them do it and have the paper work for proof. i have never ran against an e39 540i but i have spanked me some e36 m3's in the past ;)

but it doesnt really sound like your interested in the car as much as you are trashing my for sale thread? thanks for the comments and have a great week

You have it backwards. Engine HP is always bigger than wheel horsepower. That's why they call it drivetrain loss, because once the power from the engine travels through the rest of the drivetrain, power is lost before getting to the wheels.

ie: M3's have 240 engine (crank) horsepower, but put around 205-210 to the wheels.

I've met leo and seen the car in person. Clean ride. I didn't get a chance to ride in it or drive it, but he did follow me down to San Diego for a car meet and it kept up pretty good with the old M5 and my friends Lotus.

Good luck with the sell leo. Give me a shout when the new car comes.

Contact DAS. They have always given me very good rates. I've shipped three cars through them and I wouldn't use anyone else. Or you could just fly in and drive it back. You know a drive along the PCH in a black 540i6 would be a trip to remember.:cool

With a 277 RWHP dyno sheet in hand, there's no worries about Nikasil. To any potential buyers, don't let Nikasil worries stop you! That is incredibly stout for a car only officially rated at 280 HP at the crank. Damn I miss mine. Best of luck with the sale, give it a little time, the price is right.

Yes I do have the dyno sheet in hand (two actually) and when the car was dyno'ed it had a really dirty air filter so i'm guessing now with it clean the car could have pushed a little closer to 280 rwhp :) .

And you are correct about the Nikasil issue, the car has shown ZERO symptoms/signs of it and runs perfect as the day I bought it...but faster :devillook

i am considering it because of how i want to get the m5, and then a e36 for dd BUT trading with you for your vehicle would most likely leave me with very little cash for a down payment on the m5...

little down payment + HUGE monthly payments = no bueno

I was hoping you would reconsider, or pursue something cheaper than an M5...but to each their own.
