have to sell :(

[3rdE34]

i guess in hot weather the leather doees get a hard time....but if you look at that 540 le site they ALL have leater ,and i bet there aint to many cracked one..Lighter colour would be better,than black car with black interior.Leather is good though,its very very easy to keep clean,ice cream, drinks etc wipe straight off...cant say the same for cloth!

Hey Paul, thanks mate i had a 540i previously unfortunately not the 6 speed manual, i looked at the site it states only 70 le's were made available in australia, well i thought it was 70 each year they were released here...anyhows....


you let folks eat/drink in your bimmer? lol... also sheep skin covers over the cloth can be taken off and washed,,,all my seats and carpets still look virtually brand new.....

thanks again i appreciate it....

thanks heaps Espen i really appreciate it and hope i get to return the favour somehow, someday... bit of a bummer they didnt come out too good as i had to use my 10 year olds camera...

p.s. i have just worked out that i have had the car for 18 months serviced it 3 times and traveled just over 6,000k's in her including an 800 k trip last week (yes she purrrred) would also like to add that the car does not have 1 spec of rust and everything works (all the electrics computer etc) and as far as i know always has....

No problem!

The pictures where a bit blurry.. Maybe a tripod or shorter exp time would have fixed that?

Or maybe it was just a shaky hand? I was pretty shaky myself when i sold my first E34.

OT: Looks like your winter is somewhat warmer and more pleasant than mine.. Palm threes I have -10 degreed Celcius and 10cm of snow everywhere..

Might be a stupid question but, if you like your E34 so much and it's in that great condition, why don't you keep it and sell the one you get from your father? Or keep both? Or tell your father to stick his car up his... well not exactly that but you could aswell tell him that.

What's that car that makes you get rid of your pride and joy?

sorry i missed this....i cant keep it because i simply do not have room in the garage with my wifes car as well and neither of us will put the cars on the street (young hooligans round here) aside from that i rarely drive the bimmer now so with my fathers car arriving it would be even less....pay rego , insurance etc and i really would hate to see it sitting there even more than it does now plus the $$$ of the mortgage wouldn't go astray...

the car i am getting off my father is a "heirloom" i have been trying to get it off him for 15 years (im 45) it was built the year i left school (1977) i learned to drive in. it is a zh ford fairlane he has had since new its "his pride and joy". it has done 135,000 kilometres....it is factory fitted 351 cleveland factory air, factory electronic ignition, etc etc etc...its even better original condition than my bimmer, hard to beleive but true...

its the middle of summer here mate but you wouldnt have known it over christmas we copped the rear end of a cyclone it poured rain and blew wind for 2 weeks but at least the dams are full....north queensland has flooding, some areas are even blocked in....

just the shaky hands mate, im actually selling my 3rd..... E34 (i have owned them for about 10 years now i used to use them for work and would do about 40,000 k's a year in them in comfort (no i wasnt a part time cab driver in germany) my first was a 1st was a 1991 525im (former german consulate car) 2nd was a 540i (but even with the power i still dunno about auto's) and finally settled on the 535im (would have got an M5 or a 540ile if i could have afforded them (wife let you) but it will be the end of an era...and it IS gunna tear out my heart....

both my father and myself up till i fell for the e34's have always been v8 ford guys...(i guess its like in the states your ford or chevy and that depends on what your dad was??) i worked for a big company in 1990 and the owner had a brand new 525i and used to let me drive it.... the rest is history....

p.s. still to this day i enjoy telling my father that my bimmer has virtually the same power and torque as a ford v8 302ci windsor motor and out of 3.5 odd litres instead of 5 odd... (well if they are in a heavy fairlane anyway lol).....but then he always bags me for having an ole bedford camper with a 253ci holden motor....so he wins....!!

I'm looking for a BM project, how much is your car selling for... do you think the 5 speed has more 'go' or just more fun to drive about in...
