Didnt you have a v8 530i a little while ago?

[Steve-E30]

They go quite well , Terry-E30 has one , I asked about the engines the other dat for a conversion into mine

[ed325i]

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

[dazleeds]

i was advised not to bother with a 530 for an engine swap last year

nice motors tho

I won one of these two weeks ago on the bay g-plate 530 se auto dolpin grey. She is rotten underneath but with all new suspension and brakes. Let me know if your after any parts.
Cheers Sean

Why on earth would anyone want a 6 cyl 530i Auto?

[d6dph]

For the same reasons he wants chrome arches Andy, He is a very sick puppy!

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.

[cliffybabe]

it was cheap as chips and i see a profit in her, like i did with the v8 530 i bought and sold

I can think of easier ways of making £150..................

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.

Selling child porn is illegal though!

Especially for what you used to charge per session

[Andyboy]

Haaa, the secret's out now!

I've heard you're doing a private performance for Pete in exchange for an M40 manual gearbox?

[maxfield]

That is true

My Toblerone Auto wrongness is needing some loving, sadly that's my sacrifice

[cliffybabe]

Here ya go

[Andyboy]

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.

[cliffybabe]

[cliffybabe]

bought a 7 series now instead

[DanThe]

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?

[Andyboy]

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

[320Touring]

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

Yep
Agreed

lots more than an e30 to be had for lots less money

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?

[Barnz]

I've had an E34 530/6 it's now been sat in the shed for years and I'm breaking it..... just bought a nice 525 M50 Touring to play with
