    1995 530i 5-speed e34 V8 sale or trade

    *** SOLD ***

    It's time to get serious about selling my 530. This is a really nice V8 powered e34 with some nice mods done to it. Sits nice, drives nice, and of course is a 5-speed manual. It's a 15 year old car so it does have some of the normal e34 issues, but over all is a great example.

    The good -
    White on black color combo, one of the best in my opinion.
    Always been a Texas car, no snow
    5-speed manual, pretty rare with the 530i
    Dinan Chip
    Dinan cat-back exhaust
    M5 springs on the front (I have the rears, just haven't installed them yet)
    M5 true forged throwing star wheels. (these are worth somewhere around $800 alone)
    Very clean interior only issue is the headliner sagging
    Clean straight body, one dent in driver's front fender, couple small dings. Some of the car has been painted
    No rust except small spot (see below under bad)
    Alpine CD/MP3 deck
    Cold air intake K&N filter
    New front and rear brake pads
    New front rotors (needs rears and sensors)
    New battery from WalMart 2 months ago
    New fan clutch
    Cold AC just charged last month
    Bav Auto carbon shift knob

    The bad -
    189k miles, although it doesn't show it or drive like it
    Passenger front window doesn't go back up without help
    Passenger front door doesn't lock with central locking
    One of the rear windows won't go up without help
    Strange rust spot on driver's A-pilar, easy fix
    Rear brake rotors need replaced
    Tires are getting bad (I have 4 others I can include)
    Sometimes cold blooded for first 30-seconds

    I haven't checked the windows or door lock issue, probably an easy fix, and I planned on fixing it as well as the A-pillar but I need to sell the car now.

    Looking for $4,000 obo. I can provide a plane ticket to Houston and transportation from the airport for anyone that gives a deposit on the car. Also willing to take a partial trade for something else interesting - e30, e28, pontoon boat, etc.

    Here's some pics I just took. The rest are here

        You're making my 530i jealous! Its up to 270K but its an auto. If the trans would die, I'd swap it, but it just wont die! :( Same color combo and I agree, probably the best! Wish I had the money, I wouldn't mind another 530i! GLWS!
        '88 325ic - Vert in winter baby!
        '91 318is - Gone :(
        '95 530i - Gone :(

          Not sure. I didn't worry about it when I bought it. The sulfur gas has been gone for years now and with the miles on the car I think if it was going to have an issue it would have happened a long time ago.

            If it's got that many miles, I guarantee it's an Alusil Engine. Nikasil never would have made it that far.

            I have a '9 540i with sport seat package. I guess only the 540i has the sport seats. I guess that didn't come on the 530i.

                  Interesting car, if you were closer I might think about that one. Although the music on your one video sounded like it was from a horror movie :)

                          Coming soon. I had it all cleaned up and was ready to take some and then it rained. Hopefully get it cleaned again and take some tonight.
