Stallingrad

So much want, one the best made BMW's ever, with one of their best engines, even the colour is back is style.

Damn you Colonel!!

where does he get them from?

I've had his site saved as a favourite for a number of years, always has amazing stock, and not necessarily just top of the range models.

I love them BBS wheels.

That color and tow bar ruins it though. E34 is still my favorite 5-series.

I think you need to see a doctor. fast.

I know it's spelled COLOUR in UK/Ireland. Blame auto corrector on yank designed Windows :pac:

When tyres cost near €400 a corner you'll want to trade them for the imperial equivalent BBS wheel

But the reality...an E34 is worth precious little. They're not an investment, and not worth paying much for.

Some of you may remember a horrible, horrible incident where an E34 M5 (same colour IIRC) had paint stripper poured in it in Malahide circa 2011, here is a thread:

Anyways I was looking at that car when it went up for sale after it was fixed up, it took months to sell and (remember it is an M5) it went for a SONG.

E34, still, a fine car...although the E39 is better in most ways.

Has a twin socket. Most likely some aul fella called Reginald had it towing his and Ermintrude's caravan, which was probably small. That bimmer is well able for that. Gorgeous car, I even like the colour

I have both an E34 and an E39. Parked by side. I prefer the E34's simplicity. To me, the only thing better about an E39 is its better rust protection.

My own personal view of course

Reserved already! Not at all surprised. Was advertised yesterday for £5900 I think. Big money but so rare now so not at all surprised. You'd get a mint 2001 728i Sport for the same money though.

I would prefer that 635 he has

Love seeing these like-new older cars, even if they are bog spec. Wonder what the E38 with 24,000 miles went for. Ultimate7 in the UK had one with 8,000 miles once, I think it was north of £25,000.
