FS: E34 528i - Factory manual, M52 swap (+ Extras)

Recommended Posts

Have decided to sell my E34 which I've put quite a bit of work into. Reason for selling is I wan't to start a completely different project, will also likely be selling my E39 soon for the same reason.

Basic details:

- 1995 NZ New 520i

- Factory manual

- Has done roughly 295,000Km (Still using original instrument cluster so can bee seen)

- Original 2.0L M50 engine was swapped to a 2.8L M52 nearly a year ago now

- New engine has roughly 110,000Km, was from an auto E36 (Unfortunately I have no evidence of this but it runs well).

Work done/whats included:

- E34 M-Tech front and rear bumpers.

- M-Tech front and rear seats (manual adjust)

- Has a new OEM Sachs clutch kit fitted onto a lightweight flywheel (done at time of swap).

- German made Vogtland lowering springs (Ride is not harsh at all, car goes over all speed bumps without scraping).

- Genuine throwing star wheels included in sale (no tires, or covers).

- Will come with Standard BBS style 15" factory wheels with very good tread on all four tires.

- Will come with M-tech side skirts (need to be refinished).

- Re-upholstered headliner in black.

- Black rear parcel shelf.

Negatives:

- No AC.

- No Cert for swap (should be straight forward to get since its using all original mounts, no fabrication or modification to chassis).

- Shift knob worn.

- Left rear window is stuck in fully closed position (just happened two days ago), can hear motor trying so its probably the regulator.

Price:

As for price its difficult to say what its worth like with most similar projects, but am after $5,500 ONO.

Notes:

Despite no cert for the swap it has a WOF since the engine looks identical to the original one. It has always gone through WOF's easily.

It drives very well, no issues at all with new engine, the added power and torque make it a lot more fun than a standard 520i/525i.

As far as body condition: its quite nice, however, it is an old car and has a few minor dents and imperfections which you probably cannot pick up easily from the pics. Never been in any kind of accident as far as I know and can tell.

Like I said the only reason I'm selling it is because I'm wanting to start a new project car (completely different direction).

It will be sold with current WOF and Rego.

As for pics, I'll upload the ones I have at the moment, more will follow since I haven't had much time lately.

As it sits right now (These are the stock 15" wheels currently fitted):

The throwing stars also included without tires (previous owner painted them silver, they are genuine forged E34 T.Stars):

You can see the silver spray paint on the wheels I mentioned starting to come off (Looks better with original black anyway):

Converted to narrow grill a while ago (Just preferred the narrow look):

Engine bay:

Looks identical to original M50 since its using an M50B25 intake plenum and valve cover:

525i badge has been removed now:

That's all I have right now, will get interior pics soon.

Offers welcome since I know these kind of things are hard to price.

Interested in selling the t. stars separately?

Been asked this once already. Basically I want to see what kind of response I get since I think the T.Star do make it a bit more attractive for anyone interested.

Depending on how it goes I may sell them separately .

should be as quick as a 325 E36 manual, manual E34s are a very good all round car

Some interior pics, they are from my phone so don't look as good as some of the other pics.

The pics make the rear seats seem faded or dusty but its just the bright light and my phone camera. They are in excellent condition.

I've got an OBC to replace the analogue clock if you (or the buyer) are interested.

Thanks.

I personally like the way it looks at night with the amber back lighting. My friends keep making fun of it though.
