i owned an m635 csi bought it to make a quick £ bought for £500 sold for 1500 next day! never had it running though it had been half restored with new wings and resprayed in original polaris silver the guy ran out of money and the bodyshop kept the car as payment! anyway there was alot to do on it interior was non existant and wanted the car putting back to gether sorry i sold it but even now i know a little bit more than i did then i'd still be in over my head! sold it brian at fritz he races them and was going to do a full resto on it not heard much in form of progress since!


rant over lol! i should have kept it!

Never liked the E34 always thought it looked a bit cheap and now where near as stylish as other BMW's of the same era.

Almost like the BMW design guys couldnt be arsed to put any effort in when making the E34

ive seen it, it is very clean and very fast. i was thinking about one a while back but good clean examples fetch good money.

[fingerman]

Nice but too many mods and it's a 3.6

Can't beat an original 3.8

[320ise]

i always thought the 3.6 was the one to buy as its suposed to be a stronger lump?

[Blitz]

Theres identical one, but with black leather that sits buy the end of A12 in Ilford.

[BMJG]

I thought the 3.6 had the stronger lump also

[zaust]

And it was a hand built lump !!

[tomson]

The 3.6 is the stronger engine but at their age and milage now it makes really no difference.

Anyone wanting one of these cars should consider it carefully, they are very expensive for spares at BMW and second hand. For example its cost me best part of a grand to do the headgasket on my Individual M5, thats the parts and having the cylinder head & cam box checked out at a machine shop, I've done all the labour. That cost does not include setting the valve clearances either! An oil change will cost you £100 in parts alone also...

[BMJG]

Lot of money but still would like one at some point

I'd like one but i'm still not going to commit until i can afford it, which at the moment would mean selling everything and just having the M5 i think to run it properly! One day though

[S38B38]

E34 M5 is a fantastic car,,

in the old days it was really quick,, not today

I would prefer 3.8,, but the reliability of 3.6 is better,,

both engine in a superb condition the 3.8 is a winner in performance,, 25 more ponies and 35 nm more,, and you can feel it

I recently sold my 3.6 M5,,



as i didnt want to have a BT ,, Cabrio S38B38 and the M5 at once
to much spent of money

The main rule is ,, warm the oil up at minimium 60+°c before you start flooring

I love em too, there is something about them. The build quality on my M5 is better than my E36 and my mums E46, and they are pretty good! The "thud" when you close the door oozes quality...
I bought my Individual M5 knowing the headgasket had gone so I paid accordingly but its not the kind of surprise you'd want shortly after buying one for proper money!

[fingerman]

There's another one not far away

Looks nice that one but again, its been for sale for a while. I'm sure his reserve wont be met again but with a rusty filler flap what does he expect!
