Its so hard to choose E34 or E39 aahahhhahahhah!...love the whips
Meh, if you look at the way they age, you'll opt for the former. My parents had a E39 528i Touring new, and I loved the ammenities (sp? ead) of that thing, but after seeing a few well-worn models, the E34 wins me over. Build quality suffers in the E39, even bearing in mind the E34's delaminating door panels and "drop ceilings."

I haven't seen your car at school recently, M pars looks great.
e34's are my favorite :D
yeah pics are old as shit, the m-pars are reps and are in the process of being refinished, but they are heavy as fuck and i'm undecided if thats what i want to spent a shitload of $$$ putting tires on or not

Great car, but I wanted something more modern. The E39 540 sport 6-speed with a few mods did the trick. While it doesn't have the zing of the S38, it has a lot more torque and it's overall a lot nicer to live with.

Any car can be a piece of shit if the right person gets a hold of it.

No kidding, I'm basing my opinion off of many E34's and E39's I have seen. The build quality of the E39's isn't bad, but I would honestly say the E34's is better.
They didn't make an E39 with an S38 either, so that's another strike against it. :D

Both generations have their issues, but overall, I think the E39 holds up better. My experience owning just one of each is certainly not scientific, but my impression is that they learned a lot about E34 durability issues that were resolved on the E39.
On the other hand, neither hold up nearly as well as the E28 (front-end bushings excluded). I had a 535iS way back when. Tough as nails, those things.
