Hello, haven't posted here in a long time.... here's my '91 bimmer for sale, great car, probably one of the last really good bimmers made.... and this is coming from someone who's owned (and owns) several newer models.
The 535's last forever, have a lot of potential, classic looks, and are very cheap to own. Read on, research, email me at kamil_13@yahoo.com if you're interested or PM here.

HISTORY:
I got this car as part of a trade for my ’88 M5. At the time, the car had 223k miles on it.
From the list of replaced, you’ll see that most common E34 problems have already been addressed. As is, the car will need a new muffler soon. All parts can be had cheaply here http://www.bimmerparts.com or from Steve Haygood.
PRICE:
Including all of the above, the price is $3400. I realize that the mileage is high, but the car runs great (very torquey) and everything works on it (like A/C, power seats, heated seats, radio, sunroof, etc). I have seen E34 535iM’s with a little less than 130k miles sell for around $6500, and I have seen E34 525 sell for more than $4500.
The car is located in Northern NJ, but I drive to Boston almost every weekend, so the car can be seen there too, and in CT.
Why should you buy this car?
- M30 Engines last forever.
- Turbo potential (http://www.turbochargingdynamics.com ).
- Cheap parts (all OEM parts are still being manufactured).
- Most things that should go wrong already have ( http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/...k.htm ).
- Cheap insurance.
- Good handling, quick, fun to drive… a bimmer.
