I told you I would get some pictures, and here they are, even though some are not that good. For those who don't know, this is my first E34 and I scored it off of ebay for $1600! It has a nasty leak in the SLS, needs a new p/s pump because of it, something is up with the tranny, and the tach is not working. Other than that, it is pretty sweet! Most of the ride home, the Trans Program didn't come on, and I was able to keep the p/s full. I definatly like it better than the old E30 overall:buttrock! Well here are the pics.

Also, I have new tails, hood shocks, passenger seat switch and trim panel in the back to replace those which are broke.

I see a fresh canvas, ready for some sick mods.

are you sure the PS pump is shot? These cars are known for having PS hose/reservoir ordeals.

The bearings in it are chewed up. It is just as loud with fluid as it was when it was empty...yes empty. I am just going to replace it with a single vane pump when I delete the SLS which is leaking.

You know it, Justin.

Great score. For me, please enjoy the hell out of that car! I love my touring, but would love it more if it was black. I am still glad the wife has a black Z3.

+1 for black touring being sex on wheels!

Killer, dude.

You should open up the new tails and do a light smoke to them...

I'm loving the new Touring bandwagon. Nice car, get those little issues taken care of and enjoy!


...Or, swap an M30 with a 5-speed in and enjoy it even more! :)

Today was a gorgeous fall day so I opened the big sunroof, rolled the windows down, and looked for opportunities to just punch it in 2nd and 3rd gear. What a great way to commute. :D

Gotta love it:redspot!

Pfft! Why would I want an M30 when an S38 would slide right on in?!
But seriously, I still need good mileage, so I may just do a little to the M50, or, eventually, slide in an S50.

I'm definatley ready to get it sorted out and get back driving a bimmer. That B2000 gets a little boring after a while:(

You already sold your E30???

yup, my little brother got it and is loving it! Already gotta cold start valve put in, new hood roundell, center caps, looking good. He has wanted my car ever since the first time he drove it, and this way, if he ever decides to sell it, I can possibly get it back. But I may not want it after I get the E34 straightened out!! (god it was a fun ride before it started f-in up on me:alright)

Not only that, but my vehicles (E34 and F100) are 203 miles away at home as I am at school in Norfolk. It was easier to bring my stuff up in the Mazda than the 318i, so I hadn't driven it in about 3 months. (until this past weekend)

You know, atleast you have something to drive. There are a lot of people that do not have something to drive at all.

Anyway, good luck getting the E34 in running condition :)

Oh, I know it. Plus, I mean, I do like the truck, it's just no BM!

Hopefully it won't take too much to get it driveable. At least the engine runs like a champ. And it was still only $1600!;)

That was a steal at $1600. They usually go for a lot more then that on a bad day.

Hey!! I'm the high bidder and don't need the price bumped anymore. ;) It'll look good on the back of my Touring.
