E34-535ti 5 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Heh, Nice car kiwi535 is right it did have an LSD, I put an open 3.91 (original was 3.45) in last year, definitely improved acceleration and general feel but economy suffered by about 50Km per tank, it's got such big rear feet that traction's not a problem (mostly). For the right price the LSD comes with it Don't know about the leather interior, I guess it wasn't standard on them? the seats are manual as well. They where recovered (at huge expense!) in as close to factory fabric as we could get. Oh should mention the headrests in the rear are a slightly different colour to the back seat - not that noticeable though.... maybe... I've never driven a E34 540i but my old man has a E39 540i and they're probably about the same speed wise. It's not a 'fast' car like, say, Glenns 1JZ E30 or my Evo is but its quicker than most things out there. And it sounds fantastic! p.s thanks for the compliments guys, I'll be sad to see it go.

darkwolf 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 As I've mentioned on here before the 1UZ is a brilliant engine. It actually weighs less than the Toyota 2.0L Turbo I4 3S-GTE. To get the most power from the UZ you are better to buy the early (non VVT-i) model engine as the conrods (from memory are thicker). But the VVT-i engines develop more horsepower than even the Mighty M62TUB44 in the 1998+ 540i. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
