E34 535iM: Any cautions/advantages?

[RavinsE34 BMW]

After the death of my 89 525iA, I'm looking to purchase a 90 535iM. [@ 105k miles] Anything I should know about them? (Differences from 525.)

[///BMW]

well mine had/has 162, and in the last 10k i did the water pump/fan clutch and rebuilt the tranny

M30 engine is virtually bulletproof. just certain things like seals you have to worry bout, but that's common on all cars. your going to feel a lot more torque than your old car.

What's a 535iM? I know they made a M540i, but I haven't heard of a 535iM before.

a 535iM just means it's manual ... just like my car's a 525iA, blah.

Anywho, hope ya get the car!
