First of all I would like to thank Bruno and the other outstanding members of this forum for the information within. It has been so helpful with the purchase and repairs so far that I havent needed to post much.
I would also like to introduce myself formally. My name is Derek and I am a BimmerHolic. Well, now I am. About 3 weeks ago I purchased my first E34 because I have always loved the timeless style bla bla bla. Anyway it was quickly stripped off my hands by my Fiance. Now normally I'd be pissed off to have the ultimate driving machine not be 'my' car. Don't worry fellas, there's good news! She no longer wants the fuel sucking POS SUV anymore and truly appreciates the car for the machine that it is. But in typical female fashion, she has to complain about something. "I just wish it were a 5 speed", she says.
Soooo, I drive it on occasion and I too think it is the best vehicle I have ever driven, now I must find another.
Came across a green '91 M50 5 speed yesterday and methinks I shall have it :D It needs some work, window regulator clips, driver's door lock microswitch, a good cleaning and headlamp lenses. Nothing too major.
I know, I know, this thread is worthless without pics and they will come.
I will be doing a write-up on the detailing and repairs to contribute to the board instead of being a life sucking, question asking, nOOb.
So, my thanks and greetings to all.
