Just putting out a feeler, wondering what I could get for both as a package?

Your car is in reality black, correct? It would take a special buyer to go for the art car.

How many miles are on it ? Would you sell the whole car ?

something in terms of a little more power, that m60 in my moms car is just gorgeous...I have to have one. hehehe, i spy 95 540i6. But really, I need to make some serious dough first. I'm at a loss, I can't decide if I want to put the finishing touches on my car, or start saving up for that 540...

And the more ultimate questions. 540i6 or find a m50 non-tu with a 5speed tranny, swap those in and copy jon k.

I just looked at kbb prices...and my car is worth about 4500-6000. Dosnt look like I'll get that 540 any time soon.


How much did your other e34 go for again Gayle?

The whole car is not for sale, just contemplating an engine/tranny swap.

The engine and tranny (M30 3.4L and 5 speed manual) is what I'm putting up on the block for interest...

Nah I'm really just trying to figure out whether my budget would be in reach of a V8 and tranny for swapping over in the coming summer.

It was a 90 and went for $4600 but this is a good market for bmws.

It's going to take the right buyer and probably close proximity.

Yeah I am thinking about holding up the swap for a couple years, or at least until I have another means of transportation besides my car and motorcycle (like another car).

The right offer though... if it comes around my priorities could change drastically.

J, Everytime I read your post I dream of the ART CAR model. What a beauty. I pulled the trigger last week. The dealer said it was available since May of 2004. I'm a little skeptical. I think it is the 1/24th version with the lack of detail. I will hopefully pick it up early this week because they had to order it. If it is the not 1/18 scale I will opt for the 320i because I can't see paying 1/18 scale price for 1/24 car. :(

I gave up on collecting die cast models a long time ago, some are just worth the purchase though.
