Looking for a decent 5er for my Son

[Jehu]

Anybody know this car?

Just figured i'd ask. I think something like this would be good. he's 22 and needs a car to get to work. He wants a Bimmer,I wonder why.. if anyone sees a Manual E34 in decent shape feel free to point it out.

I'm in New Hampshire. What can you tell me about it? Tha car that is ,not New Hampshire...

93 525i, 5 spd (soon to have ANOTHER rebuilt unit put in it).

Style 32 wheels with brand new tires, 3.73lsd, euro ellipsoid headlights, EAT chip, and a sony in dash CD player (for mods).

Most everything works, mostly used mobil 1 0w40 on it every 4 or 5,000 miles.

New clutch at around 125k (guibo, clutch master and slave also). Belts and a radiator around like 140k. New upper and lower control arms and tie rod links around 120k.

Around February I put in the LSD and replaced the RTABs (bitch of a job), dogbones, new bilstein shocks in the rear, shock mounts, new oil in the diff, new brake pads in the rear.

New mintex pads on zimmerman cross drilled rotors about 5k miles ago (end of last year).

I bought an E46, so I havent been driving the car that much.

Anything else?

Oh, its black with tan leather. Total miles now is like 169k.

[Jehu]

that uses a timing belt rather than a chain? Any issues there?

[DanDombrowski]

No the M50 has a timing chain.

The only 5er that has timing belt the 90 or earlier M20 powered ones.

the rest are chain driven

[Jehu]

Alrighty then, got it.. i'll let you know if it turns out we're interested. Its a colaborative between me and his mother who likes the idea of a "reliable" Honda... the poor kid..lol..
