Wow it's been years...Any of the OG members still here?

I had my E34 for ~17 years. Sold it about 6 months ago. But still check this website every day... Old habits are hard to break!

Nice to see some familiar faces and that people are still keeping the e34's rolling.

I still currently have the e34. I got it running superbly just to have the auto box crap out on me about 2 years ago, it completely lost reverse. I still have it sitting under a car cover in the garage. I'm not sure if I'm going to fix it or sell it as this point, haven't made my mind up yet. I've had a few cars between the e34 and what I currently drive now so I'll post them up.

This is what she currently looks like complete with blown trans at 94k miles





In that time period I also bought and brought back to life an 87 535iS. I drove it for a few years in college and sold it to a guy in Minnesota who drove all the way out to NJ and drove it back without a single problem, I miss that car the most out of all of them.



I got the paint to look beautiful on it


Won the BavAuto Photo Contest



In that time period I also had a few e30's, most were POS



More to come...

All this time I was still in college. Well I graduated in 2010 and was lucky enough to land a job in Manhattan two weeks after graduating.

During this time I was dating a girl and we bought a 1987 Mercedes Benz 190e 5 speed for her to daily drive. I got it into decent running shape for her but we wound up breaking up and it became my car. With 3 BMW's and now this it was time to sell it, which I did in 2012. It was a nice little car but man, it was no BMW.





During these few years the cars pretty much took a back seat as I was commuting to Manhattan via train after I moved to Brooklyn.

Next up was the e24 6 series, my friends father was selling it and me being a sucker for old school had to buy it. Slowly fixed it up and was dailying it in Brooklyn
and brought the paint back over the course of 2 years and it's pretty much for sale. It's an L6.

I bought this e36 from a junkyard, drove it for only a little while and decided to part it. It had a ton of mods done to it and made some $ from it.



My buddy assisting stripping it lol



In January of 2012 I was on the hunt after selling the e28 and was tired of having to push the e34 out of parking spots with the blown trans. I really wanted an e36 clownshoe M coupe but with the cost of my rent and other expenditures I wasn't going to be able to swing it. I ultimately wound up with a cosmos black on modena (the reason I bought the car lol) e36 M3 with 94k miles. I've done a few things to it here and there and is still my daily driver.

With the old Rials I had on it, I grewed tired of the "stretched" theme pretty quickly



And how she currently sits with AC Schnitzer wheels






And that's pretty much it car wise... I unfortunately got laid off in April of this year at my company due to a management change so that's why I put the 6 series for sale and sol off all my spare goodies in the basement. After the 6 series sells I have to figure out the e34's fate but I've been in a "minimalist" mindset recently and am leaning to selling it but who knows. Hope I haven't bored you all and feel free to post up some of your changes in the last few years...

Nice Shark that. Your 335 too?

More pics for sure!

Definitely fix the e34, its so simple to freshen up a 4HP22 A-clutch, you just go in from the rear end and replace a few surface packs... Replace the input and output shaft seals, remove and clean up the valve body and little improvements, pump in a full load of synthetic fluid and it'll be like new.

Hardest thing is getting the trans in and out unless you have a hoist.

Great thread E34!

Great thread E34!

Jeff How've you been man?

I'm driving an E60 but still maintaining a few e34's. Glad to see you back. You got some nice rides there.

Still around on occasion. Ginger, our '95 525i, is having some bedwetting issues (transmission fluid leak). I'm in troubleshooting mode (have been since August). Just finished replacing the manual valve seal for the A4S310R, and got the pan back on last night. Hoping to get it cleaned up underneath this week and see what happens. Hoping it was just a leaky pan...

Daily driver is an '01 325i now. Sold my 318is (E30) a few years back

Jeff How've you been man?

Been great! Your car is identical to mine except mine has a bit of Michigan rust going on. Same wheels etc. Looks and drives great but I feel it is time to let her go and score something from a non salt state like the one I have (presently). Converting it to accept salt was a bad idea but it took about 10 years to see surface damage. Where I am now at these get a premium so hoping to be able to score a younger mileage sister and some cash to update the regular. Bushings, springs, maintenance etc.

What is that lower spoiler you have on the front there?
