Mark 178 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 ^ The "fuel filler door delete" was a popular factory option to reduce weight and also time filling up at the pump. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 look look at that E34 service manual, the E34s in the picture are lowered like 3 inches from the actual car lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3194 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 Looks as though it may have had a hard life - there's a missing door trim, too. I'd like a 535i, and for the money it's a lot of car. But perhaps a lot of trouble, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 does the service manual being wrapped up and mint mean they havent serviced the car?would rather a dirty manual and mint car than the other way around. would be a good car with a manual box (though not an m5) but im not sure i could bring myself to live wth blue leather, would make me feel like a pornographer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1528 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 Unless someone has added one(doubt it) there's no lsd on the options list. I dont think its a good buy for 2.5k either. Ive bought minter ones for <2k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3194 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 Unless someone has added one(doubt it) there's no lsd on the options list. And it's ex-UK... So rusty, bits missing, incorrectly described, high mileage, questionable service history... I dont think its a good buy for 2.5k either. Ive bought minter ones for <2k. Let's do lunch. And talk about how we get me into a 535i manual for not much money. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 And it's ex-UK... So rusty, i dont know why people always assume that. A bit like the Singapore electrical issues. Sure there are some, enough to make the connection, but it doesnt mean they are all like that. My wagon is a UK import, was there for 6 years before coming here, no rust on it at all, and the only rust that ever has been taken out of it was around the windscreen from a poor windscreen replacement, nothing to do with salty roads. I've had a few UK E30s too, and while i dont know the history as well, there was no rust on those either. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RustyItalian 11 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 i dont know why people always assume that. Well speaking from the UK now I haven't seen so many rusty cars as I have here for a long time. Lots of 10 year old cars riddled with rust, even saw a 5 year old commercial van rotten through on the bottom of the back doors. There will always be some that escape the rot of course, but personally I would be wary about UK imports. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1528 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 Let's do lunch. And talk about how we get me into a 535i manual for not much money. Finding one is the hardest part. The last manual one i bought at $1500 and sold it for $1200, was rugged exterior wise but drove\handled well even at 450,000km i dont know why people always assume that. A bit like the Singapore electrical issues. Sure there are some, enough to make the connection, but it doesnt mean they are all like that. My wagon is a UK import, was there for 6 years before coming here, no rust on it at all, and the only rust that ever has been taken out of it was around the windscreen from a poor windscreen replacement, nothing to do with salty roads. I've had a few UK E30s too, and while i dont know the history as well, there was no rust on those either. I agree. E34's in general don't tend to have rust issues anyway. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3194 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 My comments around rust were stereotyping... Should have put a 'wink' smiley after it. The Singaporean issues are similar - look after the car and it doesn't matter. That said, my understanding is that Singaporean cars rarely get to stretch their legs hich can't be a good thing in the long term. My diesel gets choked up on the run to Hamilton because it's only turning at 2000rpm most of the time. Take each car on it's individual merits. I owned Alfa Romeos that didn't rust... Sometimes it's not just care, but down to manufacturing quality control, too. Or luck. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted February 3, 2014 i dont know why people always assume that. A bit like the Singapore electrical issues. Sure there are some, enough to make the connection, but it doesnt mean they are all like that. It completely depends on where in the UK it's from. Southern UK gets no more snow than most of North Island NZ but north of the midlands the roads will be salted most winters... It's the salt you have to watch. If the car lived on the South coast of England and didn't drive north of the Watford Gap it won't be any worse than an NZ new in terms of potential rust.
