Sweet. £2000's not really dear for it either. If you're not in a hurry!

I spotted it on my work commute the other day. It didn't have a price in the window so I assumed it was in for a service or MOT rather than for sale.
That just screams "proper" in an old money way. Even the steels and hubcaps suit it. I bet it drives really sweetly. 1 owner and 36 Main Dealer stamps! I'm quite tempted to go have a look but the M20B20 in my E30 is a bit pedestrian so I can't imagine the larger E34 body does it any favours. M50B20's were flat enough. I bet the kickdown cable has seen some action. Would this have the earlier E30 type speedo - not a digital mileage display?

Nope, mechanical odo. Battery under the bonnet and no GM modules under the back seat, really basic electrics on the 520i. If you're not in a hurry, they're perfectly okay.

Stopped off and had a look at this on my drive home. By 20:45 it was beginning to get a little dark but it looks a beaut. Straight panels, minimal rust and an immaculate interior. I think it has climate though no air-con. Very, very nice.
