Could not resist, I love my 1990 535i, but then this 1994 525i - 5 speed showed up and I just had to buy it!!! It is in such great shape, drove it home last night and well now I have 2 E34's!! Good thing I am already divorced...lol....oh well, I do plan to sell my 90 535i, but I just had to have the 5 speed! Hhhmmm, let the modding begin!

Oh, and is that rain on the car in the pics? Recently? Not a real tough winter in Guelph at the moment, is it?

EDIT: OOOops, I see snow in another pic.

Have Fun wid it,

like those colors and that mileage...good catch. I imagine it's a 93 build date sold in 94, but you can confirm that with a part search on realoem with your last 7 digits of your vin

Yeah, when I look on realoem, it was built 09/1993. We do have some snow here Dave, what you see on the hood is frozen drops of water from the wash. This was a one owner car, a doctor in T.O. had it for 13 years. All maintenance records are there, he performed all the routine maintenance and my mechanic just called to say it needed absolutely nothing for safety.

Let us know if the gearbox makes up for the extra liter.

It really does, it makes the car come alive, sounds different, feels so different...it feels like a whip now, just snaps!

Glad it's fun. My 2.5 with the slushbox is a pig.

Seems like the only ones that ever get bought anymore are the 5 speeds. I wonder if its for the fun, cost, or the fact that no one wants to buy an auto E34 with 150+ k miles, who knows.

I wonder if all the autos that die are ending up being dismantled. Theyve gotta be going somewhere.

I believe all 94 v8s had the wide grill, but 525's didn't recieve this until 95

Yes Dan,

I can't imagine buying an automatic. 'Even' the M50 with a stick is a ton of fun.

Glad you guys have some snow. Its been a pretty lean year in the north. Cold as $hit, but lean :)
