E34 perverts need apply

[DanThe]

Just bought this fine chariot this afternoon, 525i SE auto, 81,000 miles, 1 previous, full black leather/heated front seats, dealer fitted alarm/immobiliser and tracker system, load liner, aircon, double sunroof, Fjord Grey

Drives fooking fantastic, cant remember the last time I drove such a straight 34

Used about £30 worth of juice for a 180 mile journey

[darkchild]

Nice find. I spotted that on eBay last night. Looks a good'un.

[Barx325i]

go onnnn spaz it up with pink rimz, rust it and hang a teddy of the tow eye.

Looks v good, nice leather & the touring suits that colour perfectly, nice purchase.. What was the damage?

[Ziggy]

That looks blimmin lovely. Has your previous one had enough then?

For whats there it was a bargain.
The green 96 is looking a bit sorry for itself with the lacquer hanging off the wings and tailgate, over 180k up it now and could do with some love, but id rather play with this TBH

A good barometer of whether one of these is any good is if it is still sporting the original metrics with five meaty Dunlops. It looks like you got lucky Dan

All the scummers went to 15s years ago

The 15" BBS is so low rent.......

[DanThe]

Metrics indeed, is it wrong that I have some style 4's lined up for it?

[spook]

My old man splashed out last year on 4 new metrics for his big 5, lots n lots of money

Nice buy Dan

That'll be like Dr Ram who dropped £4k at Vines on his 525iSE saloon.

Metric dunlops, Check!

Thats nice. Virtually none like this left.

Thats nice. Virtually none like this left.

Which is why I had to have it, will be getting the full trim off and waxoil treatment before going into daily use

[Simon13]

i like that, the load liner made me hard! never seen a e34 one! Cruise would finish her off along with an LPG install at a guess?

[DanThe]

£66 on the original sales invoice Si, I bet they are worth more now!
Have a 100 litre gas tank at the ready and Poland has plenty of new front end systems ready to ship
Cruise bits are here too, not looked to see if the plugs are in the loom yet though

[Simon13]

manual?! mind a B3 3.2 donk would liven it up! even a m52 b28 would be nice in one of these. I keep thinking this in a strange way.

[Ajsingh]

Thats a nice tidy looking car! I want an e34 but they suffer similar issues to E30s like rust maybe? Lol would love an E34 M5! I would give both my E30s for one!!!

[Simon13]

they don't rust anything like an e30 can. best built bmws ever along with the e32 imo

[pacerpete]

We're normal !! there is loads of interracial bareback on Pornhub but we are getting aroused by an
e34 shooting break !

[pacerpete]

Sills are the big achilles heal rustwise, often the side skirts are structural !

[Rav335uk]

That's a dirty habbit you have there Dan

Haha quality!!!!!

[Duke137]

Nice buy, same colour as my E36 coupe, not many Fjord Grau's about

What's the plan, 2.8?

You serving on the Green one?

[Blitz]

A car like this needs to be original No?

[DanThe]

Sills are the big achilles heal rustwise, often the side skirts are structural !

On older high milage cars this is the killer, the heavy plate jack points are always the start, then it creeps into the sills themselves. All it takes is to pull the skirt off and waxoil, TFR and koso car wash is bad news for this area

Its an auto Si, this is armchair motoring! I have all the bits for an M50B30 which is what will be powering the beast if I get round to it

Suspension and steering can be a major ball breaker with these, unlike E30's £1000 will not re-fresh it
The SLS on this will be getting a flush for starters!

[DanThe]

A car like this needs to be original No?

It would be nice but I need a daily I can trust to be reliable and do everything my current E34 does and clock up to 20k a year, you just dont get the same service from an E39 or anything newer/similar IMO

[capri_rob]

Nice work Dan

[Andyboy]

I'd keep the Metrics! The Dunlop 2000E is a pretty good tyre and you can pick them up on Ebay part worn.

Style 4's are.......err...........

Well they're here:

[Ziggy]

I put some style 122s on mine kept the metrics too though!

Would have another E34 any day - currently looking for a replacement for the E36, but I doubt I'll come across another 34 like yours so expect I'll go elsewhere...

[Barx325i]

nothing to see

[goosiegander]

Awesome on many levels!

[pacerpete]

what are these metric things I have?

They don't look metric to me ? They look like E28 BBS Mahles .

[Barx325i]

cheers Pete, feel free to edit your post and slim down my hijack!

sounds like I should sell them in that case

[Andyboy]

They're E12 and E28 14 inch BBS Mahle. Either 6.5 inch or 7 inch wide, probably 6.5's judging by the raised centre boss. Worth about £50 with decent tyres - there's not much love for them but you might see a ton.

manual?! mind a B3 3.2 donk would liven it up! even a m52 b28 would be nice in one of these. I keep thinking this in a strange way.

not often we agree on many things, but a b28 with the 2.5 fannymould would be lovely in an e34 touring!

and yes, they are bloody tanks compared to e30's- epic, epic cars!

dan- top buying fella- lookes like a better place to be than most folks lounges
