Schön schön.

From your username I directly assumed you were German :lol:

Nice car, now post more pics 👍 :lol:
 
Looking like it did just as it came out of the factory. Nice to see another BMW in original condition, I love it 👍

Exact same engine as my car aswell, M20B25 :D
 
Yup. 221,000 miles on the clock.

:D

 
wow 👍 Do you have the VIN? :)

Looks like the M-Technik pack, I'm searching for a steering-wheel, but +100€ is way too muc IMO
 
How would I look for the VIN?

It's a UK-spec 325i Sport, which came with the M-tech II bodykit, 5-speed 'sports' gearbox and suspension etc.
 
Last 7 characters of your chassis number, then google for "BMW vin decoder" and it'll show you your car-data ;)
 
Just tried that, pretty cool to see.
 
Pretty cool indeed. It finally allowed me to settle the debate on my interior color. :lol:

Beautiful looking car, I've always loved the E34. The M20, if maintained, can easily hit 300k miles (500k km).
 
Always loved the E34 BMW 5-series. One of my first ever diecast cars as a kid was an E34 5-series in white and I've always had a thing for that generation since. 👍
 
:drool: Gorgeous car! I'd never guess that it's over 20 years, it's so clean and the styling hasn't aged much.
 
That color combo is awesome! As for steering wheels, a Euro E36 wheel or maybe a period correct after market wheel would look good.

Maybe something like that? (I can provide the for sale link if you do like it)

Anyway, welcome to the club and enjoy it!

Nah, I'd stay with the M-Tech II. I could change it with a M-Tech I but atm I like the II more :)

Brake discs in front are annoying me, they always get a dent or something and the whole car is shaking when braking :grumpy: Today the car threw away it's glovebox, not so nice :D
 
Nice and clean dude. Any plans for it, or are you going to keep it standard?

Should stay like this, maybe I'll change the seats for the sporty BMW-Seats (but in Havanna they're rare as 🤬) but overall the look won't be changed to much ;)

Are you putting a new steering rack in? What are you getting done on the car? What parts are you waiting for?
