Bought this the other day. Not really sure what my plans are for it yet. If any. Its fairly immaculate so will wait and see. Had thought about slight drop and alloy change, but I actually like it the way it is. Slight bubbling on bottom edge of boot to get fixed (hardly noticeable) and small oil leak from oil filter housing gasket, which is in getting sorted today. Really happy with it.

Love it, had spied it on Gumtree and was showing it to mate & oul fella. I noticed it was off Gumtree yesterday

Really looked to be in great shape with history to back it up, reckon you got a bargain!

Your plans sound perfect, a nice set of OE wheels and the slightest drop and she'd be sweet. A keeper for sure...

Aye, I must say I was pleasantly surprised - usually turn up to look at these things and they are complete heaps of dung, but owner was meticulous. was over the moon

Really like these, my aunty had one brand new and was stolen a week old and used to ram raid a shop. Such a tank of a motor and was fixed by the insurer.

This thread has got me looking at these now.

That is superb, I really do love the E34.

Spotted this one at Coleraine hospital the other day.

While she's no warp speed vehicle I have to say driving it puts you into cruise mode. I can't help but smile every time I jump in. Actually sold my 6 series to pursue one, but it fell through. Always fancied one. But never could find anything decent. Can't believe I have it to be honest albeit 3 years late. Think I'm going to use it as my daily for the foreseeable. Going to get onto this guy in Lithuania and get the stars purchased. £560 posted. Need a slight Polish on edges but nothing drastic.

What's the opinion of the style 66 on the E34. I quite like them.

Not a patch on throwing stars. If it were me I would probably end up spending to much on wheels and buy custom. There is a Polish guy makes single piece rims into 3 piece ones check out the bottle caps in the back ground of the ebay add. drool.

Fantastic looking even as it sits! A lot to be said for the older cars, with all the generic stuff out now. If i see one of these I'll always take a second look. HTD.

this is for sale - found out wife was pregnant shortly after I bought it, so the dreams of this being a daily driver just isn't going to suit the practicalities of 2 baby seats and a stack of baby equipment. ad is on classified section here - not sure if im wise selling it or not, but ive already 3 cars stuck in the garage,any questions pm me. thanks
