Where did you guys find your e34? I would love to pick up an older one - '92+525im or '89+535im with high mileage, good maintenance, and suspension mods a plus. Where do you recommend looking?

Autotrader.

Remember that the M50 debuted in '91 for the E34.

I think the M50 came out half way thru 1991 in the US. Not 100% on that though.

I see you are in Iowa. Craigslist in Minneapolis would probably be your best bet. I look every day and there are some nice looking deals on there. The local Autotrader is crap!

Westphalia Tow system - What is this? Is it for towing behind an RV? Do E34 sedans ever have this system? I have and RV and it would be nice to be able to tow the E34 I'm looking for behind it.

I'll have one that would be a good one to toy with.. It will need a manual swap but sn: goathumper from South Dakota has all the parts for the swap.

I don't know what your looking to spend though.

For towing small trailers behind the wagon.

That one is owned by a guy from Bimmer.Info so it really is in great mech condition, and like he said he has an Elektra m5T coming in which is prompting the sale.

There are two in Spokane, WA along what is called "Auto Row" (long stretch of street w/ about 20 dealerships). one is white and the other black, I think. If you are interested I could find out the lot name and the price.

Uh, that's a 525, right? Price, miles, service history, etc?

Thanks,
