It's actually a really nice car but there's a fair amount of guff in that advert led by the 'Nuremberg' suspension.

I just wish I liked the e34 more and at only 282 bhp, meh. If it were an Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo, you'd get my money. Great color though.

An Alpina B10-BiTurbo might seem the E34 to aim for but the V8 will be leagues more reliable. The manual 540i is pretty brisk, even an auto is not far behind.

We had the same 540/6 here in Australia as the m5 with 3.8ltr engine didn't meet emissions.

The e34 is a really nice crossover between a classic and a modern car.

The m60b40 in manual form is a cracker and 282bhp seems short. A simple chip makes them into a 300+ bhp monster with 7000rpm on board.
Install some lower diff gears and makes the power more usable.

I've had my supercharged one off the road for too long now. Mechanic need a kick up the ass to get it back working.

Hi guys,

Am new to this forum so not quite sure how to contact people. Gaz - am interested in your engine build. I am wanting to do a similar thing for an e24 race car here in NZ. Would be great if you could contact me please.

Cheers Justin.
