Hi all.
Wow its great to finally be a proud owner of a BMW. I have an E34 535. I am eager to start modifying my new (second hand) car. Does anyone know of any good places/wreckers/web sites to get parts for a car of this caliber on a student budget lol? I am also looking for some more technical sites where I can find model specific information E34s?

hey welcome to the forums!!! Sounds like a nice car, im actually looking for a new car now seeing as i just blew up my e30, i am leaning towards an e34 525 or 535 aswell. if u dont mind can u tell us a bit bout the car aswell? any pics would be good too. the best place to find out info about ur 535is on this forum is to go into the 5 series section in the main forums menu and ask some guys there. cheers Brad

The car is a 1989 535is manual, 180,000km. The Is model came standard with all the options of the m5 including drive train, LSD, Springs, Gear box, sun roof, the main difference is that the m5 is bored to a 3.8 and is a lot more technical then the M50 motor (3.5L) (I think, if I’m wrong please let me know). The 535is' have a seamless power curve. The standard wheels that came with the car are 17.5” so most of the is’ will have different rims. These BMWs are one of the best cars ever made. There was one for sale on the Gold coast about a month ago and they wanted $11,000.

I don’t know how to put pictures up so if I can send them to someone who is more technically minded.

M5 is a 3.6l in Australia. Individual TB's and was completely hand built. Its a bit more that cosmetic differences but the 'is' is still a nice car.
