If you aren't going to keep the 540i, I am only an
email away! :)

Check out Zeckhausen Racing on the 'net. You probably
recall that Dave Zeckhausen was once one of us and an
avid auto-x'er. He has since moved onto BMW's and has
become a big brake and aftermarket parts distributor
for BMW's here in NJ. Nice guy with a lot of
knowledge.

Any pix of the 540?
