BMW E34 540i

[Fun Bus]

Hmm. I beg to differ.

I've been running my 530i Touring since August now and it's been ace. I had rough running due to the leaky rocker cover gaskets but has been great since that's been sorted. Did post a thread a while back but didn't get much response. Does no one like Tourings?

Always fancied a touring e34 but never found a nice one. 530i touring would be nice though space and pace. Any pics?

Thats not a sport body kit. I dont know what it is.

I don't he ever said it had a Sport kit did he ?

The 540 passed its MOT today needed nothing. Very pleased about this!

It has averaged 24mpg since I got the car a few months ago. I have done about 6000 miles in 4 months, so I will probably average 18000 miles a year in a 4 litre v8. Sounds ridiculous, but I don't mind as I don't have any depreciation to worry about.

It has had a service and new front brake pads since purchase.

If anyone is thinking about getting one of these as a daily, do it. Such comfy, well made cars.

Nice car. I'm just back into an e34 540i. Bought mine 3 weeks ago 1995 in black with grey leather auto. I was pleased given I only paid £550 for it that she passed the mot with no work required.

Looks very nice for £550.

Agreed, that's mental money for it.

Nick, put your cheque book away, he only just bought it!

I keep looking at e46s but i cant justify the extra money for such a miniscule performance gain. In all like
Ihood i'll keep mine and have the paint freshened up. The nose is looking a little tired and a better bootlid would be nice. It just does everything i need it to without being a huge chunk of money sat in a car.

That said, if a nice imola, titan, topaz or possibly arctic manual hardtop came along...
