Hi all.
My names Mike, from Auckland and currently looking to head in a new direction with my car ownership. Been doing Japanese cars for too long and quite frankly sick (Toyota / Soarer etc) of them so after something a little more interesting, something from the old Euro market.
Currently most interested in the E34 540i
I'm quite shocked at how cheap some of them are now - too much car for the money almost.
Anyway - basically after some advise with buying one - links to forum pages with details on them (Similar question answers etc)
From my observations most will seem to be around the 200k mark which is reasonable - best to stick to a factory one with a detailed history and get them check out by someone that knows what they are looking at.
Apparently Ive read that in time the Automatic Gearboxes can break, developing slips and what not, some minor electrical issues arising and the odd Engine oil seal leak...
I'm sure theres plenty more that must be checked - but yeah any advise would be good.
If there are any Auckland members with E34 540i's that would be happy to show me theres this weekend please send me a PM.
Cheers Mike.
