Isn't it? It's so mafia, I can't get over how badass that car is. It will be tastefully tinted here soon.
Yea, Interesting story on that one..
I purchased the E34 just a few years ago, right when I graduated high school. My family wanted to buy me a GTI, and regardless of what they wanted to buy me or not, I told them that I wanted to buy my own car with the money I had saved during my high school job, so I found some E34s to look at.
Well, when I was in grade school, my dad had an amazing E24 635CSI in bahama beige that he had since new in the eighties, which is absolutely unobtainable nowadays, especially in the amazing condition that car was in. Well, a lady putting on makeup rear ended him at a light when I was in middle school, and he eventually bought a truck or something. Nothing like his 6er.
Getting on with the story, I took him with me to test out an E34 that I had been looking at, because I thought this would be the one I would buy. First thing he said when he got in the car was, "This smells like my old car, man that was nice." So, about a year after I've had the car, he says he's going on a trip to Northern California, a trip to the vineyards. Little did I know, it turned out that he only had a one way ticket. He ended up picking up a 740i OEM Sport package, in beautiful condition, from some hipster who was going to buy some new Porsche. My father drove the car through Napa Valley, had a tour of the wine country, and drove all the way back to Portland, OR, and called me when he got home.
My dad totally one-upped me. :furious:
I was so jealous of his trip, but more so of this car he picked up. He told me that he had been thinking about finding another BMW ever since he sat in mine before my purchase.
lol
Classic.
Speaking of the E39 530i, excellent choice. I can't get over the beautiful high-revving smoothness of the BMW I-6..
