I'm not sure if anyone is interested but the last of the Canadian M540i is located in Calgary and is for sale - #32 of 32. It is "individual" equipped in British Racing Green with a Modena Natur/Mexico Green leather interior.
It is being sold by a "questionable" dealer for way too much. I know it from when it passed through our shop a few years ago and it was already a high mileage car in need of some attention (especially the interior) back then. Anyways, an interesting car in a unique color.
Here is the link:
I was over in Calgary before Christmas and with the weather was amazed that anybody keeps a decent car. It was -32c during the day. Would love to see this car, do you know where it is for sale....may get friends locally to pop along and inquire.

I can go look at it for you if you like, but like I said, it was way overpriced for what it was and what it needed.
#-4 years ago it had 240000km plus and the interiro trim was all scratched up. I assume it being a V-8 it needs a cooling system, and all the other usual E34 stuff - suspension, brakes etc.

What a weak advert for such an unusual car. Interior car be redone for not massive money, but way overpriced! That is good E39 M5 money here in the UK.

I agree, the car should be selling for $13-15K at the most, most high mileage E34 M5s are in that range here in Calagry, we are now getting an influx of Japanese exports that are driving prices down. As to driving in this weather it's actually not that bad, put on a good set of winters, make sure you have the car in tip top shape and protect it with clear film on the front (I use 3M), a good wax, and wash it when ever possible (we get "chinook" winds during the winter when the weather goes from -30s to plus temperatures). The biggest problem is when the authorities in their infinite wisdom dump gravel on the roads to help with traction, which it does not, it just cracks windshields and chips paint jobs.

Not sure of exchange rate but seems steep. Must be a typo on the engine size. Interesting all the same

The poor thing has been sitting there for over three years. And FL are not open to offers unfortunately. To me that is THE best e34 ever built bar none, but the price is rediculous.
