Buying a E34

[sturmabeislung]

hai guys, this is the one im looking forward to buy it, any comments?http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2008-04DeSale12190776_AUCTION_BMW_520i_M_1990_year_RM21_500_Inside_Get_full_Foto.htmthe paint finish is almost perfect from the photos, but i suspect that the engine of the car had been changed bcos there is some kind code on the engine which most of the chop shop will write on it. Also the price seems a bit too high. But im not an expert, hope u guys can assists me on this, thanks!

i think the number on the engine is the mileage when last oil change was done...
will ppl go to chop shop and buy m20b20 engine meh?

I am driving one but with the engine change to 93 M50B20. The car such an old age can still have no issue to run 160kmh and above. Just came back from Ipoh with avg speed of 140kph. Can you believe that?

I heard M20B20 is a simple engine to maintain altough it has less power output.

if possible try to get the single vanos engine...u'll feel the difference..

bro,

reckon it is best that u see & test drive the car prior to buying it. anyways you can pm BlackE90 as he has got a friend with an E34 - 525 up for grabs.

cheers

Yea..i agree..i have a old 520i with a m20b20 engine that has an excess milage of about 400k and it still hits the maximum speed of 205km/h.
