Still own the 90 535im which my wife commutes in 5 days a week. Just getting broken in with only 205,000 miles on it so far. The 95 525iT went to my daughter & then off to Bimmer heaven when she took out a deer one night. She moved on to a 2006 325ix which seems to be a nice car but with no engine dipstick to check the oil it's of no interest to me. What the hell were they thinking??

E34 530, transmission aside, if my E34 looked as sharp and clean as yours, I probably would still have it. But, alas, as I just posted in a separate thread here, I've moved on to the E46 world with a manual AWD touring.

Just read Big Kris got married. Congrats. Very happy for you.
I have had almost no trouble with the 535 for years so not much reason to hang out here. Now she has 115k miles on her and one dent that just annoys the **** out of me. Got her service 2 a couple of months ago and had a little work done on the air conditioning. Planning to move to Florida and going through separation anxiety about leaving my mechanic.

Where in Florida? I'm a snowbird now and winter in Central Florida, about an hour north of Orlando. On a lake with lots of gators.Originally Posted by Gayle

'Gators. Pfft.
Land-based lizards are bad enough. Some are only enough to give you a bite, but here in Oz if a large one does bite you (its very, very rare) they may follow you. If you are a long way from help, it's bad- the wound quickly goes septic and worse (their saliva is literally lethal) and within as little as 24 hours you may be unable to walk. At that point, even the small ones will come for a piece of you!
Have you seen the saltwater crocs down here? 5m long. They swim in between Indonesia and Australia each year when breeding.
Here's a small one in the Australian Reptile Park, near us here in Sydney:
They have been known to capsize our tinnies (aluminium boats) to check out their content... and all sorts of****.
