Hi,
Thanks for visiting my page. Its dedicated to my newest ride: BMW e34 520i. Bought on 29/10/2008. It was build in '94, has around 166k km on the clock, 2.0 M20 petrol engine which has about 50bhp atm, no ABS or handbrake, there is a small crack on the windscreen, suspension is worn out..
On the good side: two airbags, nice 17' alloys, wood'a'like interia addon's, double sunroof works and all other gadgets as well. Body is in good condition.
Some pics from the auction:
Plans:
- swap to M30B30 engine from my 530 e34
- swap to bigger brakes
- interia strip to reduce wight

Today is the day when I actually bought it. Battery was dead (totally flat), had to charge it to start the engine. When trying to start the engine by giving the car a good push previous owner got a flat tyre.. Luckyly rim is ok, but it won't be possible to fix this tyre. Thanks to that the final price was lowered :)

Alternator belt tigtened - no more squicking sound (yay!), overall quick cleaning, wheels changed - AC Schnitzer 17' removed and black 16' fitted [FOMB 89851610 (8,5JX16h2 ET 10 center 72) with YOKOHAMA 205/60 R16 92H], removed exhaust tip. And why I removed 17'? Because on 16' this car actually moves, before it was hard to get it going.. I really need to swap this engine

Removed last remaining bits of LPG instalation from the intake - engine runs much better. Instead of disaster its now only on crap level. Also I've found out that front springs are broken and shocks are... dead. Its a suprise that its still in one piece.

While driving to the workshop headgasket in 2.0 engine said "bye bye".. oil and water became one. Luckyly it was not a long drive. With boiling engine, many stops for cooling down the engine on my way I... made it. In two days time car received 3.0 engine from my RHD e34, aleo ehaust, rear axle, diff, cooling system... now the only thing left to be done is electrics.

New 3.0 engine is in, electrician is finishing his job.. due to holiday season it takes longer than usual (engine was in the car a week ago)

Engine is running, the only thing missing is water temperature - for some reason the gauge doesn't want to work.. besides that engine pulls really nice (it had 190,5BHP in my previous car) and its a pleasure to drive this car
