New guy asking for E34 help
Hi,
This is my first post here :) . I was wondering if you guys can help me. I want to buy an E34. Basically, I adore this car. But I am the owner of Korean car (for 7 years now) and have no experience in the E34. What type of things should I be checking for? What specific things should I avoid? I am concerned about the fuel consumption; can a good E34 reach 180 KM/20 litters (normal driving)?
Also, it is really hot here at Jordan at summer ;) . Is the A/C system efficient and how good is it compared to other models?
Please note that at Jordan we have only one BMW authorized dealer/workshop, and the pricing and services are bad. I want something that can be fixed easily and with low cost.
Sorry for the questions, but I couldn't find any place that people will me but here! Many thanks in advance guys.:)
I would imagine E34s are pretty scarce in
Jordan, or that you wouldn't have a large number to choose from. A bad one can be very bad indeed, as you spend $$$$ to bring defered maintenance up-to-date. That said, a good one is very good indeed. I prefer the simplicity of a 5-speed, the auto boxes have some issues over timeand are expensive to replace.
I wouldn't reject a car instantly with 330K km, as long as regular maintenance has been carried out.
Good luck,
John
