If I didn't have the Lexus I'd be on the road right now to pick that up. edit: even twith the Lexus I'm still very tempted.

Looks v good. Makes alot more sense than a typical €1200 E39 anyway. If its as tidy as it looks, it would be a keeper. Are photos recent though? Petrol prices displayed in one photo look abit on the cheap side.

Good spot. Think the pic of the petrol place may be road trip.

The pics are at least two year old two I reckon.

The petrol station picture could be from last year. Matter of fact, if you read the description on bmw-driver, you'd know, the guy is in the UK, while the car is in Dublin.

For a that well maintained car, it wouldn't matter how old the pictures are though.

Personally, I'd say the car should actually have been advertised at min 1500-1700 EUR, so I reckon it's priced to sell quickly. The alloys alone are worth that money, if mint.

15" BBS alloys with BMW fitment are worth a grand if mint?

Mr Benevolent

What a fantastic E34. Don't see many like that lately.

Are they not the metric wheels that you can't get tyres for without parting with lots of cash?

(EDIT: Just looked at the ad on BMW Driver, obviously not)

Nice car, definately a cracker for the buyer. Most "bangernomics" here are sheds that will rob a buyer, but this looks like a really well maintained car that will be pleasure to own.

I just hope who buys it will look after it and not adopt the bangernomics philospohy of running it into the ground and leaving it in a gap in a ditch in 12 months time.

Any deep dish multispoke BBS are sought after.

While 15" might not be a grand, 17" of those are between 1000-1500 eur second hand for refurbished ones. 15" and 16" would not be far behind.

I know the VAG lads go looney over BBSs but I never reckoned 15" E34 BBS wheels were worth much. Asking prices on ebay are not high.

Even with €720 VRT this is a very nice example of E34 525 Touring

I use Firefox, and that does not work for me. Same with doneDeal pics. It's just as easy to link the ad, tbh.

I am not a regular frequenter of this, thank you very much. It's bad enough that Google know all about my searches - I'm not giving them all my browsing history as well!

I don't see why it wouldn't work with FireFox. Works fine with Chrome, IE and Opera too. Something wrong with your 'puter methinks

with a fresh NCT its not, its worth what the market will yeld for it, and it'll see more than 3 or 400 hundred.;)

Rickwellwood

have to agree midlandsm, it'll get more the 3-400. Long NCT on car of that age vital to getting any sale. Theyre bulletproof usually, perfect for toodling around in and looks is great order - looks like someone bothered to change the TB too

Limerickman after my auld mazda 626 passed the NCT 2 weeks ago with 196K on her i was thinking the same thing
