Requires a fuel line,leaking a foot or so from the petrol tank,and possibly an exhaust in the not to distant future.
Has had a brand new engine fitted 83,000 miles ago due to that Nikasil problem.
Overall very good,had a had a lot of cash spent on servicing etc,about £2500 per year!
In a sort of metallic maroon colour,has rear boot spoiler and BBS wheels.

From a good home,not the usual 5 series council chariot.



£750.00

Good Price?

Is it a manual? I'll go out on a limb and say you can probably drive the price down a little (assuming you're buying, not selling?) but sounds like a LOT of car for not so much money. Especially if it has the doughnut LPG tank not taking up half of the boot!

Yeah I was offered it,but turned it down,i'm now second guessing myself :roll:
I ruled it out in the end as I still think my Touring is more practical,but the lure of a V8 and on gas was tempting!

I'm not sure what tank it has TBH.

I was hoping by posting I might get people agreeing with me to make me feel better about turning down a potential bargain
:D

Oh and from memory it's a slush box :(

There there, it's a t u r d! :D

TBH I've been pondering e34 for quite a while and now the prices have bottomed out. The only potential for trouble with the car in question is the V8, the biggest downside is the car's weight, everything else speaks in it's favour - faster, more space, more comfort and cheaper due to gas.
