Selling the E34

[BigKriss]

Hi guys. My time with an E34 is coming to an end. Being 27 years old (1988) model I purchased a ford falcon fg as the car to replace. I will be either selling it whole or parting it out and registration is ending soon.

I have a lot of spare parts and have thoroughly enjoyed learning to fix / maintain cars.

Thanks for every ones help on here over the last 10 years.

Seems a damn shame. I know you chaps like to travel 100 miles just for lunch. So what have you gone for? The 4.0 litre?

[BigKriss]

Yes is the 4 L in-line six Turbocharged

Lol what modern bmw is in the price range of a turbo falcon. Pov pack 1 series?

Then there's the issue of whether you'd be tempted by it.

The value for money is a lot better on the ford. The one I bought has a lot of modifications comes with the zf6hp26 gearbox. Stock the car puts out around 240 rwkw, whilst this one puts out 390 rwkw.

It is fun building speed of the turbo, nothing like the experience in the E34. I'll always love the E34 but the Ford is 20 years younger.

Anyone want it for 2K if not then I'll try and put it on eBay

I'd love to come to Australia just for a test drive.

Dang, I may just do it. I was just in Auckland. Problem with getting down to that side of the planet is my back. Can't sit for that long unless it's in BMW "Comfort Seats" seats! lol

That's a great price for all the work and parts the car has! If you don't get any bites you might want to sell the good stuff and replace it with the stock bits. The car still looks great Kris.

says you got an offer Kriss, did it sell yet?

[BigKriss]

I only got one offer for $1500. I think I will keep the car or part it out now. I dont use the car anymore. I have a lot of parts to sell too.

Kris, is the car still for sale? Today I sold an E34 owner from Sydney a set of doorhandle gaskets, I told him that you want to sell your car, maybe he is interested, either as parts car or as 2nd E34. I will give him this link and your contact details.

[BigKriss]

Thanks, he has emailed me. I planned to start pulling the car apart this saturday!

I couldn't even get 1.5K for it :(
