Anyone looking for an e34? 540i 6-speed $6800

[Jb325is]

'94 540i 135k Alusil (healthy motor, see dyno sheet)
6 speed trans 89k
Hellrot (all original panels)/ Tan

The good:
-Sachs suspension (coilovers in pics)
-EAT chip
-24lb design III injectors
-Rogue solid trans mounts
-UUC stainless clutch line
-New thrust arms w/ Paul Grey bushings
-New thermostat/metal housing
-new intake gaskets (including T body and PCV)
-New idler arms/center link (installed this weekend)
-New fan clutch/fan shroud
-New Water valve and Aux. water pump w/ new hoses
-Have valve cover gaskets waiting to go on
-10k on clutch/pressure plate (sachs oem sport)

The bad:
-Small coolant leak, haven't found it yet but haven't looked hard. You can just smell it occasionally
-Needs idler arms (will be taken care of)
-Needs valve cover gaskets (same thing)
-Needs to be wired for reverse lights, just need a 2 prong bosch plug to plug to side of trans. Not a big deal, I may take care of this before sale also.
-Needs diff mount bushing
-Stereo needs TLC. Filters bad on factory amp

The body on this car is very clean as you can see in pics. No bodywork, few dents/dings. Paint is CLEAN. Interior is clean also. Seats are decent. Rear seat has a tear in the center.

Im very flexible as far as how it will be equipped.. But I am planning on keeping the coilovers. I was going to install the lowtecs to sell it, but someone stole my springs/struts from the shop at work. It will probably be lowered on Sachs/Boge at the time of sale.

$6800

Update:

Car will now be sold with 17x8.5/17x10.5 BBS RS

Oil leak and coolant leak gone!

New valve cover gaskets (valve covers stripped and painted black)
new valley pan gasket and water pipe o-rings

new intake gaskets again (didn't want to re-use old ones)

new exhaust manifold gaskets

Wow, nice car. And a good deal too!

[BMWE30iS]

any interest in a trade for a m50 powered e30?

[TDE30]

Impressive. Original panels too. FWIW, my parent's 540iA has the same coolant smell from time to time, nothing alarming, but you can notice it inside the cabin. Like them, it looks like you've also replaced a good bit of the cooling components as well.

These cars had the E34 M5 (armrest-less) front seats, yes?

Priced very well, best of luck.

Interior shots? Engine bay? Trunk?

$6800 with style 19's

[Jb325is]

I'm working on more pics.. I just bought my first house and have been busy with all that mess. This car is swapped, so no sport seats but I do have a set that I will include if the buyer wants them.

Style 19's will be on the car at the time of sale. I'm keeping all my other wheels for my next e34.

Great looking car-I love the color!

Regarding your small coolant leak-I would be willing to bet money that it has the infamous M60/62 valley pan gasket leak. Almost all of these engines will leak there at some point. The '02 X5 4.4i I bought a while back had this problem when I bought it (one of the reasons the dealer let it go pretty cheap) and I replaced it myself.

Not a terribly hard job, but it just takes a while to do it. A dealer will want well over $1k to do it, but can be done yourself for a couple hundred in parts.

Then again, as long as you monitor your coolant level, you can let it go as long as you want. Just trying to let potential buyers know that this leak is common on these cars and really isn't a big deal to fix. Good luck with your sale!
