MWTS: 1991 520i - great condition

Good day one and all,
I have been thinking about letting go of my E34 520IA and hope that it will be in the good hands of another E34 affectionado, rather than a dealer who would massacre it. Engine is M50, 24V.

Do see pics: Flickr: spacevibes' Photostream


Here is a list of items that have been replaced / worth noticing.

1) M5 bodykit - recently touched up and re-painted
2) Relatively new paintjob for car (6 mths). Car pearl black now.
3) 525i twin exhaust.
4) ECU chipped -Superchips (UK)
5) 2 weeks old new Volker Spark II plugs - great for top end power.
6) Road tax paid for till 1 Jan 2010.( Thats $8XX in savings)
7) COE expiry date: End Nov 2010. Option to extend COE at ard 3k more.(prevalent PQP). Good for COE renewal.
8) New Battery.
9) M5 steering wheel(original)
10) Koni shocks
11) 17 " BBS deep dish rims (original) w/ 90% tires (Japan made Dunlops), replaced 3 months ago.
12) UR Racing front strut bar.
13) K&N Air Filter

Fault:
1) Haven't had time to repair the right side mirror - mirror motor needs to be checked out.
2) No spare tyre / rim.

Car has very good pulling power (you'd be surprised). Handles very well for a car that size. Stock brakes are in good condition, brake pads still thick. Fuel consumption 8.8 km/l.(60% highway and 40% city driving).
Engine (roughly 100k) and gearbox (roughly 100k) in good condition - do view.
Regular servicing at reputable BMW specialist wkshps in Spore. Using fully synthetic oil (Mobil 1)
ATF replaced 10k km ago. Can last till 30K km.
Car passed LTA inspection on 30 Dec 2008.

I have receipts for much of the work / servicing that has been done to this point.
Rest assured for people who'd be interested, this is a pretty good deal. :)

Reason for selling: Will not be in S'pore for several months from June onwards... so will not be needing the car. Thinking about an upgrade after I come back (then start another crazy project?)

Would rather sell the car as a whole rather than de-kit.
Contact me at 97684045 for viewing. Dealers / low ballers pls stay away !!
In light of the positives/ negatives, am looking at 18k, negotiable. Make me an offer (preferably an offer I can't refuse :)

If offers are too low, then I will keep the car.

Thanks all, for your time
 
Re: MWTS: 1991 520i - great condition

Just tested this ride. Very stable on the roads - no surprises there as its a 5 series. The rims really makes this car look exceptionally striking especially in driveway cruising mode when the spokes can still be seen. Commanding physical presence at higher speed due to the M5 bumper and lowered springs. Yes was taking a good long look at her when he drove it away.

And lets just say that this car has a really big heart. ;->

Owner is a nice dude who knows his stuff and demonstrates that a lowered E34 with deep dish BBS rims goes well even with yuppies. Bumpz for your sale !
 
Re: MWTS: 1991 520i - great condition

Sweet ride... is it still up for sale?
 
Re: MWTS: 1991 520i - great condition

nice..................
 
Re: MWTS: 1991 520i - great condition

Tkx for the kudos guys :) Unfortunately have to take it off the market at this time
Appreciate your interest !
 
Re: MWTS: 1991 520i - great condition

well, going overseas for some time in june end so wanted to let go of the car.(then maybe get E39 when i got bk). But ultimately deciding to keep E34 and do it up more (more cost effective). Maybe renew COE :) But who knows... BMW hearts are fickle when it comes to changing car .. to another BMW that is :)
 
Re: MWTS: 1991 520i - great condition

ya dude bayerische,
must keep it !! Now having seen curly's E39 M5 front bumper fitted on his E34 front, that must be my next mod :) Have a look at his MWTS ad pic
 
Re: MWTS: 1991 520i - great condition
