Craigslist Post NEW PARTS SINCE PRICE DROP!: New front brakes - Ceramic pads with oem rotors. New rear brakes - ceramic pads with cross drilled rotors. Aftermarket short shifter kit. Hid headlamps - 6000k New Intake hose MORE PICTURES 1991 BMW E34 M5 Black Exterior Black Leather interior - AMAZING sport seats. 5 Speed manual Full power drivers and passengers seats, heated. - even has power headrests and thigh adjustment. Power windows/mirrors Power Sunroof - tilts and opens. Air Conditioning does blow cold. Rear bucket seats with the "breadbin" storage in the center. Driver and passenger heat controls Just over 271,000km, and still being driven. I bought the car with 221,000km, and an impeccable maintainence record. The previous owner religiously serviced the car at Park Shore BMW in Burnaby, and if the VIN is provided to a BMW dealership, they could pull the records. The previous owner had owned the car for 10 years, and it was bought in Vancouver as a lease return. The car was originally purchased at "Vancouver Auto LTD." which has since been renamed to "The BMW Store." 3.6L Inline Six - 315hp. Running the Dinan chip (I believe dinan, that's which brand the previous owner recalled it was. It is verified to be chipped though.) On paper the chips promise 340hp +/- If you're at all informed on these cars, you will already know about this engine. I've been very strict on warming it up properly, allowing the start up emissions control fan to finish its cycle before I drive away. After that, I won't break 3000 rpm until the oil temp gauge is well cleared 70 degrees. The car since I've had it has been maintained regularly at Island Motorsport here in Victoria. They're a very reputable shop in town here, and I would definitely reccomend them to the next owner. For prospective buyers in vancouver, the car has passed aircare all the way up until I purchased it. I have not had it tested since then, but I am sure it will pass. New Parts: Just before I purchased it, Inspection 1 was done, as well as a new Clutch. New distributor cap New distributor Rotor New Thrust rod bushings The past two years: New Sway bar Linkages New Waterpump New Auxhilary water pump Rebuilt Alternator (bosch 140amp) New Spark plug wires New hoses for the cooling system New Bilstein sport shocks in the front & Rear - Converted from SLS to coil spring. New OEM springs New Strut tower mounts New Control arms/control arm bushings New timing chain tensioner New Valve cover gasket New LCM - light control module New headlights and fog lamp bulbs New Battery - cant remember the cca, but it's massive. New as of a year or slightly less p245/55/ZR17's. Hankook Ventus H105 in front, and Kumho Ecsta's in the rear. New Shift Knob New K&N Filter New Thermostat New Oil pressure sensor There have also been some additional suspension parts fixed over the last couple years New Interior Lights New Spark Plugs (done at time of tune up - approx 4000km ago) New Oil pan gasket. Oil change as of 11/20/08 NEW PARTS SINCE PRICE DROP!: New front brakes - Ceramic pads with oem rotors. New rear brakes - ceramic pads with cross drilled rotors. Aftermarket short shifter kit. Hid headlamps - 6000k New Intake hose Other: Have the stock E34 M5 wheels with Turbine covers (in storage) Have the oem sunroof shade piece. Have the OEM bmw cassette radio. Has the full size stock M wheel spare tire with good tire Has an ALMOST full tool kit in the trunk. Comes with original manual and documentation. New M Power shift knob (oem bmw part to replace original 3 striped one) - Currently removed due to it not fitting 100%. Has been replaced with a nice weighted non-illuminating BMW knob. Therefor, it will come with the shift knob on the car now, as well as two other OEM Bmw M illuminating knobs. Audio Visual: - This will remain an option, and if unwanted, I will subtract $750 from the asking price. Pioneer Avic-N2 DVD GPS Navigation touchscreen unit. - Has some performance readings to display G forces and angulation. Also lets you have a digital speedo on the screen. Matching Pioneer 6 cd changer in the trunk. 2 12" Eclipse subwoofers in custom ported box. Kenwood 600W Monoblock Amp powering the subs. Eclipse speakers in the rear deck Altec Lansing 3 way components up front with kenwood 600w 4channel. (from like 1995, but still sounds fine) Things it will need to be perfect: Hood struts are a little squirrely if a good breeze catches it. Would recommend them to be done in the future if I don't do them myself. Trunk struts, same sort of thing, I believe both are the originals. There is a small portion of the drivers side bolster which has begun to unstitch itself, on the seam. The "intensive wash" doesn't work properly. I know there are some connections that aren't properly made, and I couldnt care less due to us being in Victoria. I can't justify the repair to my headlight and foglight sprayers. The Body itself is in great condition. I am very specific about my cars, and as such I can tell you of the flaws. The rear passengers and drivers doors both have some tiny dings in them from parking lot injury. I acquired the car with these, and the owner said he recieved the dings from a careless ***** who parked next to him. The hood has a strange indent on it, very very small, and looks like it could be easily removed, but it is currently there. The paint is in great shape, and as I used to be a detailer, it has been washed and waxed regularly. Of course as a black car, it will require the same attention from the next owner to keep it looking well. Original paint, with no panels that have ever been repainted. I've tried my best to explain it in the best details, I am a BMW enthusiast, and my reason for selling is due to having recently purchased an E46 M3 cab. My needs have shifted a little, and I really need something suitable to take my dogs in. I am 100% open to trades, or trades+cash. I would consider my car +cash for something that really interests me. I've had my eyes set on an SUV of sorts - x5 4.4, denali, 540it, something more practical for me. This is the best car I've ever owned, and it will be very easy to tell that it has been well taken care of. If there are any questions, please feel free email. If you have any questions, please email and include a phone number and the best time to reach you at, and I will be sure to respond as soon as possible.

True, but yours was a JDM car, was it not? This one seems to have a very solid local history..but you're right, in this market, nothing seems to be selling

[1989E34M5]

It is a local car with history of 221,000km on it, how much life does that engine have left? rebuilds are very expensive on those engines, maybe add on another 5-10 grand for a proper rebuild, and what about the rest of the drivetrain, trans and diff, wheel bearings etc. ouch, I wouldn't touch that car with a 10 foot pole unless it was under 5
