It all began when I was car shopping.
I drove by a small car dealership here in Austin, TX. and saw this gorgeous red 911 C4, I tried trading in my 95' 540 sport and they asked me if I already have the Alusil block. In short, I found out that I still have the Nikasil block. They won't take it for a trade-in. This worried me a lot and I did my research, went to the dealership just to have it checked and did not find anything wrong with my 540. What bothers me a lot is, I know this might break down anytime. So I did a lot of thinking and calculation of how much I will spend just in case it breaks down.I love my 540 and spent too much on it already as you will see on the pics. So I did a lot of thinking and claculating whether if it is worth keeping or not. I don't have a choice but to sell it. Then I saw my 740il....

On this pic, I swapped the 19" Hartge Nova5 rims of the 540 to the 740, as you can see it looks small on it.

Hello there. Im am selling AC SCHTNITZER style roof spoiler for E38. This is not the original product, but it is also made in germany. It is pure fiberglass, so it is very light and durable. NOT A RUBBER OR PLASTIC. Made out of high quality fiberglass. I have sold 40 of them over the past 2 months for around $320 but now I have only 5 left in stock, and I want to bring a new shipment so Im going with $260 that includes shipping and taxes already. Email me at eohanyan@hotmail.com or call me 818-726-8001
