    Default Ebay E34 525i: This will make you sick!

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    Only about 30 miles from me, shame i've not got the money... Though sent my best mate round to have a look at it on his way home from work (he works just round the corner from where it is), and he said it's immaculate... He's also in the market for a new car (just about to sell his current one) and fancies something a bit nicer... Silly fool thinks it looks boring though, and wants to buy some stupid crap like a Mondeo that'll lose loads of money quick!

    Anyway, i've told him it'd be a good buy, and there's probably a few bucks to be made in it if he bought it and gave it a good polish, and advertised it right (ie. a BMW mag or forum, not ebay), as it's immaculate...

    God, i want it! Someone buy my 95 520i touring off me!

    Looks nice, slightly OT, but has anyone in the US put on a tow bar? I could use one on my 525i.

    Yeah but he lives 30 miles away and is open to offers! I reckon £1300 and it'd be mine... If only i had £1300!

    Trying to persuade my best mate he wants it ain't proving easy, but i will manage... Cos that way he can get it, spend 3 months with it, then sell it to me when i've sold my touring... hehe

    Yeah i know, which is why i reckon i could go and get it for about £250 less in cash... If only i had the cash!

    Hell of a lot of car for the money, low milage 525i with a manual box, air con, it's an SE spec, i've got some nice wheels to go straight on it etc... And it's Oxford Green (the best colour!)

    Not in this country mate... The steering wheel is on the Correct (or RIGHT as we say) side of the road

    Just to put the other side of the equation, from a UK perspective - it's green (hardest colour in UK to sell), it looks like its got (flat-star) metric alloys - expensive on tyres (150 quid each), there's no leather and its a 525 with a tow-bar. So I doubt it'll make anywhere near 1500 quid on uk-ebay for these reasons, but not denying its a fair price if you want a lower-end E34 in good nick with a low mileage and you're happy with the relatively low P/W ratio of a 525. Personally I wouldn't go for less than a 530 on these heavy cars, just personal choice, much prefer the 540 as so much more power and not much in it economy wise. However, going from a 520 to a 525 would be certainly be quite a nice upgrade and the miles and condition certainly look right.

    The newer 525's seem to be popular where I am. The older ones, on this frame, I'm not sure. I was actually hesitant about getting my oxford green 530. Truth be told, I wish I had a 6000cc engine in this thing. But it don't fit. IT DON'T FIT!!! AAARGHH!! Ehh.. anyhow.

    What were we talking about? Ah, a perfectly kept 525 with cloth seats in oxfrod green. It's a good car for a kid. But it ain't my bag baby. It does look nice on the outside. I just don't equate cloth and a 2.5Liter stick shift with luxury. And the steering wheel is all funny and on the wrong side. And he keeps saying quid. Sounds like a fish. Or a queer kid. I dunno. Nice car though, really.
