I have both and love them. they are two different cars and you have to keep that in mind. you'll never get the room and comfort in the e30 as you do in the e34, but it's no where as nimble. having some hp can help. 535 is a good car

the e34 does feel heavy, but i think it handles awesome for the size. not really nimble but the road handling is good, i love taking long sweeping onramps in my e34, the e30 is great for s curves but at spped it feels really twitchy compared to the bigger bimmer. love them both i take the e30 when im alone but with any passengers its the e34 and then i dont have to hear "wow this car is oldschool inside" and thats with power windows lock, ac, etc i think its more luxurious than modern econo cars. throw some 17-18s and maybe something like the sach sporting kit on and you should be happy. get the swaybars from an m5 wagon and you will be surprised.sigpic

+1 the e34 is a great car, and it handles like a much smaller car, the turning radius alone is shockingly small. Its a much better put together machine than the e36, kinda like a big e30 to me. In my opinion the 535i is not worth it over a good 525i, but then I dream of a 525 with a built s50;)1987 325is - sold

i had the luxury to drive a hartge 535i. It was an awesome experience but i'd be affraid of parts. I hardly ever see them in junk yards. I'll definitely look in to a 535i or e39 touring once i get in to family mode. Until then its coupes or bust.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

sorry for your loss. the e30 is a great car but the e34 is also very nice. i bought an m5 starting this year and its a big difference to the e30. its heavier but with the correct suspension you can have a lot of fun. i drive the KW coil over and in my opinion its perfect but you will also need a good engine for the weight of the car.*** For sale: euro stuff, BBS steering wheels, smoked tail lights, bunch of rare wheels (5x120 and 4x100) ***
