New to the forum

[RBSileighty]

This is my first post here. Just wanted to say hello, and I can't wait until I join the owners. I am currently driving a 01 Pathfinder as my daily driver, and will be switching to an E34 (maybe E39) 540 6spd as soon as I don't need the truck for coming up north for parts of the year. This should be in about a year and a half... maybe sooner.

I am really excited to find a good E34 forum, I was starting to get worried when I kept seeing really boring/non-tech forums that are available for the 5 series. I am an engineer at Bosch in Charleston, SC and have been involved with tuning cars for quite a while now.

I figure I will shoot off my first question...

What is the typical mileage that a the E34 V8's can see without having trouble? I remember doing some research a long time ago when my uncle picked up his E39 528 (now owns a E39 M5... talked him into upgrading twice... 540 6spd before the M5) that some of the early E34's had some issues. I'm looking into a 95 example most likely.
