Interior looks remarkably good for the mileage but 2.6s are 12V not 24, although they do have the dual ram intake like the 24V and are often mis-described as such.

I loved my manual 540i and still aim to get an M5 after finding a new house (some day...). The 735i and below only came with the 5-speed manual btw, similar to the E39 range. horriblemercedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
