I had a 520i non vanos. Unfortunately I had to sell it as the chassis leg was bent from a crash it had when I bought it. Drove it for 10 months and loved every minute of it, it lacked power but it’s still one of my favourite cars I’ve owned.
Sorry to hear - that is a shame. I have driven lots of classics over the years and I think the E34s are just a really lovely place to be. Modern enough to be comfortable and reliable - yet old enough to be different. I hope you manage to get back into one soon!
Thank you! Lots of nice roads around this part of the world. Not sure about the MPG - you know yourself, it depends on the road, traffic, etc. - but it averages out at about 30mpg. Higher on motorway runs, lower in city driving.
Thank you! Mostly stock... I'm not really into modifying road cars, but I've had it for over 20 years and have upgraded components as they needed to be replaced. Bilstein B8 shocks and eibach springs to replace the tired/broken standard ones. Standard diff was leaking, so an LSD was dropped in during maintenance. The LSD has been replaced with another OE one since, so the car is much quieter now. That's about it. Everyone asks about the exhaust.... it is the standard one that was on it when it came from the factory!!
@@huryburly6025 It is thankfully. I try to stay on top of the maintenance jobs which helps. I did a 6000km trip across France, Switzerland and Italy last autumn - no problems!
@@huryburly6025 Mine does around 25MPG around town and about 34mpg on longer runs. I'm a huge E39 fan too. Possibly the ultimate daily... I have a 525d manual sport touring here too. Good luck with your E34 hunt!
