    Such a classic. Sadly, not a lot are left in good condition.

    I just picked up one of these, beautiful condition with only 86,000km.

      A classic for sure, my dream car was for a 1992 M5!

      This was my first car back in high school. Do you know where I can find and buy a used E34? I’ve been looking online and can’t find anything.

    This chassis had so many terrific iterations!!
    I have a ‘93 Euro 3.8k M5 and then a ‘95 54Oi 6 speed (US MSport package ) and they are fantastic.
    And yet I also would love a 540ia like this. The transmission is indeed amazing and it’s such a great commuter car or highway cruiser.

    Ray Campbell drove a new '94 540i in the first season of Sister Sister (1993), identical to this.

    My grandma has this car in her backyard in shit condition after the gas tank blew up. Hasn’t been driven in years but I’m planning on saving up money and getting it fixed

    Do the timing chains have to be replaced or maintained on this model?

      UK/US market issue, seems Aus and NZ cars didnt get affected at all. Regularly see 540i models with 350,000km+ on the original motors here, still with strong performance.
