There were years and years between the e34 and introduction of the x5, I doubt very much its true since that car isn't even the first 4x4 they did either, thats an example of a seller trying to get a better price through association.

The E30 iX has a weak transfer box (from what i've read on here). So would it be possible to fit the one from the E34 ? (and the engine)
There is NO nucleus.

Thought the X5 was based on the E39, not the E34 :mad:

lol didnt think it was real! as there is a big age gap (touring 4x4 would have been designed in mid to late 80's?) come leaps and bounds since then!

are you serious, or have you smoked far too much tonight?!

Or is it your ebay listing and your just trying it on, to make a claim like that you need more proof.
