93' BMW e34 from the UK

[AndyBMX]

Been checking the builds on here for a while and thought I'd make my own.

I've only been driving just under 3 years but I've had 6 cars since then, all of which were bought standard.

First off was a 1L Polo 6n, had various different wheels on it but I think it looked best here;

Then bought a cheap early mk2 golf Driver, again I had loads of different wheels but decided I needed another set of Alpines so hunted some down;

Then sold that and bought an e36, bought some HSD's and got some Autec wheels sent over from Germany;

Didn't keep that too long before selling it and buying a corrado, of course lowered it and put some wheels on it before getting bored and selling it...

Then I bought an Alfa 155 V6 which I never actually got round to doing anything to, had plans to lower it and change the wheels but needed to get back into a BMW.

And here's the BMW;
I found two e34's, both 520's, both described as mint. I decided to go have a look at the closest one (the other one sold the day I did), and it turned out to be pretty much immaculate. No rust, solid arches, bodywork is nice and straight. Put a deposit down on it on Thursday and went and collected it Sunday.
It's a 520i, one owner from new with 95k on the clock. It's not exactly quick but my god its comfy!

Interior is nothing special, eventually I'll probably try and find some black bits to replace the grey. Everything works as it should apart from one rear window but thats not the end of the world.

The bay could do with a quick tidy up but sounds healthy and is nice and quiet. (plus the bonnet opens towards the front which I think it awesome)

So there it is, and I love it!

Looks mint mate what are your plans for it? I had an e34 535 but had to flog it once I got a job, too juicy. Fancied another one ever since

Cleeeean! Interior wise, you got lucky with the dove grey interior! Not sure if its the same with the UK but the United states hadn't received too many dove grey cars. Definitely cant wait to see it with some lows!

[AndyBMX]

Cheers guys

Still trying to sell the Alfa, so once that's gone coilovers will be ordered Then it's just a case of welding them...

Thanks man You're right about the first two but I think I really like the chrome.. Will have to see once how it looks once different wheels are on.

good start. jealous of the color and vanos.

Cheers man Really love the colour, think it will work really well with shiny wheels, but we'll see.
