Jeezus that is gorgeous. I should have bit the bullet on this 12 months ago.

Thanks Jon, I bet there is! ok here is a pic of my 93 about 4yrs back down the mountain, needs a little minor front bumper work at the moment. 1st two are the 93, next two are of the 96 I just picked up, just waiting on it being shipped up from Dunedin. 93 has 18's on it now, will put theses 17's BSS's on the 96 when she arrives. Will add better pics once 93 is finished and have them both out in the glorious sun!

Little baby update - a couple of interior finishing (is there such a thing?) touches: Got some Alcantara boots made for the shifter and handbrake handle with custom stitching to match the Caramel seats, along with a black alloy handbrake handle to match the shifter and piano black trim.

I sold mine a few weeks back for $11K. Very similar to yours in terms of servicing, also mine was lemans, manual, etc but with 18" wheels and 128km. I'd say you're pretty much on the money as far as value goes but they're a bit of a niche car so you will need to be paitent.

RIP M40

Hi all, New to these parts, but have owned a E34 93 540iA in Alpine White since 2012, drove it as my daily until the start of 2020. Was costing to much to get my son to football trainings, lol. But in saying that I have just recently bought another E34, but a 96 540iA, and yep in Alpine white, lol. Hey just cant help myself, just love a E34 in white. Yes was on trade me. My 93 had 289km when i got it, really drove it, my son and I would often head to the snow, what a great 4 and half hour drive that is. Well sometimes a little quicker. Remember giving a Q7 a good run back to Auckland one time. Now it has around 380km and still kicking strong, about 15k also helped keep her maintained as a daily. Just about to get heater core done and 2nd radiator, and then finally panel n paint. Yeah this car isn't going anywhere, my son already taking ownership, cant blame him, he grew up in it., loves the thing as just as much as I do. Now I have the two, the 96, I will keep it how it is since it has the lower kms at (146) and is in pretty original condition body wise, hell, still has the BMW torch in the glove box. Will change mags to a nice set of BBS's I have. Then this gives me the opportunity to body kit the 93 out, should be ready for pics in about 6 months time. Look forward to sharing. I just love the idea of having a stock looking and a modified looking E34 540iA, but now this leaves me with the question, do I need to buy a E34 540iS? why yes I do. Seriously, if ones up for sale. Did someone say E34 M5! Hahahaha, I wish, cant afford that dream. But def keen on the 540iS. Peace n all that

Welcome, there is a lot of love for the 540i on these forums. Pics of these 5ers would be great!

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum but thought I'd add a pic of my 540is. 1996 e34 6 speed manual. I purchased it end of 2019. It's full M kit with black Bison leather. Love this car it's been my bucket list car forever.

As sure as night follows day, an optimistic post on bimmersport is followed by a public disappointment with the car. The engine shuddered to a halt while I was trying to even up a park in the CBD (of course, the CBD), and despite me flattening the battery trying to coax it back, wouldn't catch for me. After we had both cooled off waiting for roadside assist, we did manage to start it again, but there was a horrible clacking noise at idle from somewhere in the head. I have tried to attach an audio clip for anyone who's interested. Fun start to the long weekend! what's this lovely noise.m4a
