The 530 6 cylinder is slower then a 525 with the 24v engine.

Probably as hardcore as any m30, it is an M30 I take it? Well i've learnt something new, I hadn't even realised there was an e34 530i with a straight six, I thought it jumped from m20/m50 525 to m30 535 until the m60 3.0 v8 530i came out in '92 or something.

E34 530i Auto M30 (what is it - F, G plate??) is worth £500 tops for a minter along with any other old late eighties E34.
But whatever.

Haaa, the secret's out now!
I've heard you're doing a private performance for Pete in exchange for an M40 manual gearbox?

What a great looking car the E34 was! Time has been kind them - it's amazing how many old F/G platers are still about when everything else that age has long gone.

What a horrible colour, horrible engine, horrible gearbox, has it got anything going for it?
I bought a nice 525i SE in Oxford Green the other week with a cracked head, ive now not got time to fix it though so sold it minus the engine/box and wheels



Its the nicest ive had by far, and a car I could live with. Would be a shame to break but money is money
How much are E34 OBC's worth?

E34 stuff is worth almost nothing. When the cars are worth next to fuck all, the bits follow suit!

Surely you should have viewed this before bidding on it? Are you saying you bidded on, then won the item and are now not paying the seller?
