I've heard E34's are more solidly put together than E30's..

I like them both though

E30 being a bit more agile - The E34 is the perfect retro family saloon..if kept right!

Thats a detailed birds conversion on a car and it contains what the work specifically consisted of.

The H5 was based on the 540i? I thought it was the 535i

E34's have much better rust protection.
