Happiness is a car....

[blindboy]

Bought myself a new car today - E34 530 manual. I'm very happy with her so thought I'd share. I have always wanted a BMW and a V8 - now I have both. If anyone wants to see pictures, I will post them up.

Have been reading this forum from a little while now - and it seems the best for me, with the very helpful, nice people.

Have a great day! I know I am

Welcome blindboy,

Congrats on finding a stick. Post some pics when you get a chance, I'm sure you'll get some feedback.

And you're right, some of us are nice

Now go and break something so we can help,

Welcome & it looks very nice.
How about making us all sick by telling us how little you paid for it the U.K.

Did the currency conversion - in US money:

4,432.98 USD

How much would the car be in the States?

Here is the description:

BMW 530i SE (1996)
98,123 miles, FSH, 2 previous owners, Metallic Blue with Silver Leather. Air Conditioning, 16" Alloys and 4x New Pirelli P7 Asymmetric tyres. Auto Dip mirror, Wood, Electric Windows, Sony stereo with 10 disc changer. Just had inspection I service (96,279 miles) and new power steering pump. Any inspection welcome. Needs good home.

I was under the impression cars were cheaper in the States - I had a 944 for a while - they were much cheaper over there. There were students riding around in better versions than mine!

Naw, old Bimmers, especially the V8s, are dirt cheap on the continent compared to North America. I don't even look at the classifieds anymore when reading British BMW mags, it makes me cry. 4400US ~ 5100 CDN which here gets you far dodgier 525s with twice the miles. I suppose just about everything else though is more expensive there. Interesting that it's a 96, here 96 is considered the first year of the E39.
