£6500.

Not sure if serious.

I saw that, think it was eBay. Nearly dropped my phone

Does mileage matter so much on these anymore? If condition is good, surely that’s the main thing. Not being contrary, a lot of cars seem to hit this point of mileage not being an issue.

Anyway, at least the tat is reversible. The Jeremy Beadle wheel is the nicest style one on the car...

I must admit I don’t have the first clue of what E34 values are doing - even though I own one

Yes if you're charging 6.5k for it.

If this was a super original low mile example in a nice colour and good spec, perhaps the price could be justified. In this instance, I'm rather less convinced.

Most E34 owners seem to think they possess the crown jewels.See also: E28.

They are a nice old BMW but the last one I sold was a very clean 520i with working air con for £1200. That seems enough tbh.

For a 535i Sport manual it doesn't sound too bad, I have seen much worse. These are far more desirable than a 520i SE Auto. Something odd with the mileage though, MoT history suggests it is clocked, but the picture shows the mileage in km but the speedo is in MPH.

I like e34s, but £6.5k for that with st wheels, st lights, st tints, st suspension...err no!

I like mine 'original', with some sympathetic upgrades - a restomod if you will.

Looks like a decent example if it's rust free. i like the colour and the M5 bodykit.
But dodgy ACS knock-offs, headlights and non-Recaro seats are negatives. And I'm always suspicious of early cars with the later bonnet/grille.
(edit: what's with the mismatched mirrors?)

Don't know the UK market, but suspect it's at least 2-3k overpriced.

As I said, clean, original, low miles example...maybe.

This is not one such example.

I'm thinking this car has a bit of a history.
Looking at the MOTs, it was off the road from 2010 - 2015 during which time it lost 150k off the mileage.
Looks like it was originally an auto. Front end has been changed (could be aesthetic reasons). Bizarre to highlight the odd alloy.
If I was after an E34 my £6,500 wouldn't be going here.

I’m sure I’ve seen that on Facebook marketplace about a week or two ago for £8500...

[Riggie]

6.5K? Pull the other one...

Yes, it had 264k on the clock in 2010 so with the clocking has most likely done 340k
