After having a V8 touring car experience bought for me, i had the V8 bug..

 

I had to have a BMW, so when a friend was selling his e34 540, i had to have a look.

 

Just brought it home. Here it is...

 

 

Its so much more of a car than i remember. Everything seems to work, even has an electric rear roller blind.

 

12 months mot, tax out the end of the month.

 

Full straight through exhuast, and decat, but isn't too loud.

Lowered slightly, M5 replica wheels with 10mm spacers on the front.

LSD

He has the M5 bumpers but i dont think im too bothered about them tbh.

 

What do you think?

nice!!! you cant beat a V8. always wanted a monaro vxr to be honest, just love the sound of them.

...Jelous!

 

Nice car Jim ;)

Very nice mate - it looks a tidy example!

 

Those BMW V8s are cracking engines, good luck with it!!

Great cars. I ran a Black e34 535i Sport (3.5 litre straight six) for 5 years before I got into Z's.

 

Admittadly they are getting pretty dated these days, but they have a feel of quality and solid engineering above most modern stuff and they still turn my head on the rare occasions I see a nice example on the road.

Whip the engine out and stick it in the Z!!!

Its not very fast to be honest.

Lovely sound tho!

 

Its a very straight car, a few hundred quid would see it very tidy.

Interior is nice, the seats are comfy, yet supportive, im loving it..

 

I'll get some better pictures of it.

The wife had the baby tuesday, so not getting any sleep!

Little boy so ive got 1 of each now. I'll teach him how to drift soon enough..

V8`s are good.

 

Nice car.

 

Alan........

Very tidy, I bought an e34 525ix awd when it was snowing. Well built cars for sure, but mines a dreadful lazy auto. Would love to have the v8 now the snows gone.

nice! i used tohave quite a few of 525's years ago,i did really like them, i found they had awfull handling though as standard.

Very nice Jim and not many manual e34 540's out there,I have had a 520,525 and a non turbo B10 Alpina all great BMW's here's a pic of my last one a 520
