1996 BMW 5 series e34 525i se auto For Sale




BMW e34 1996 525i SE Auto

Have for sale my BMW e34. Reason for sale is I have few other cars I’m currently restoring and is now taking up space. Bought over the winter period as needed a comfortable daily while my other cars were being built.

History

Car has 4 previous owners including my self. Previous owner was fire fighter who like my self is a big e34 enthusiast. There is a massive folder full of receipts documenting the history and parts changed on this car. Although it doesn’t have full service history you can tell the car was looked after as much as possible.

During my ownership I inspected the car on a ramp to check everything over properly and to if any components required changing.

Suspension - in good condition for its ages, minimal play with the bushes. I replaced the Drop links to tighten everything up.

Exhaust is in good condition. Only surface rust with no blows or leaks. Still sounds smooth as the straight six should.

Engine and gear box

Has the M5025 engine with 190bhp. Pulls extremely well even with the auto box. No nasty noises. Starts on the button every time. Idles perfectly and pulls nicely up the rev range. The auto box is perfect with no nasty noises or whines. Selects all modes including sport mode with no problems. Kick down works perfectly with no hesitation. I use this car for my work commute and don’t really drive it fast but the power is there if required.

Interior

Interior is in good condition for the age of the car. The leathers show some sign of wear but no rips or burns. I Usually treat the leather with some leather polish/ cleaner to keep it tip top. Comes with the original BMW mats but I have replaced these with after market ones for daily use. The originals with come with the car. All electrics work as they should including the rear windows. I removed a CD system and sourced a original tape deck as I wanted to keep things authentic. Car also comes with a period correct Nokia phone which is full set up for hands free.

Body work

Body work is in good condition for the age although the front passenger wing and door dies let it down. The paint has slightly faded on the these panels. There is a rust patch on the rear passenger side arch and driver door. Under side of the car shows signs of service rust. There are signs of welding near the front arch. All jacking points are find as I’ve used Jack on all 4 sides with no problems. The car still polishes up really well and does look good once washed. car still gets compliments every where she goes.
