....to me, and probably to a lot of us here. After I had owned my '95 525ia for about a year and a half, friends would tell me that they heard a "weird" noise from the engine compartment. I wasn't savy to all the things that WILL go bad on the E34s eventually then, but thought it might be that "VANOS rattle" thing that people spoke about. Then one night on my way home from work, a rainy night of course, I was at a light when....WHAMO.... a noise, steamy-smoke and other un-healthy car things started to happen. My H2o pump seized and belt snapped too. I was towed to a somewhat local indy I used and 2 days and around $350 later I was good as new! Yes, we all learn from experience don't we?
