It's a 1994 E34 525TDS SE. Only had 2 owners from new, last guy had it since 1998. It's done 175k miles, so nicely run in and I've just put 12 months MOT on it. The previous owner was disabled so officially it's not taxed and will need a trip to the local office to change the tax class (although if you do a DVLA search on it, it shows as being taxed until May. Use that information as you wish). It has power steering, 4 elec windows (all working), elec sunroof, elec mirrors, central locking (which I've got working properly). For the MOT it needed a new bottom ball joint and a brake flexi hose. It had an advisory of a small hole in a rear floorpan (can picture if needed, it's nowt to worry about), a missing exhaust hanger and a tyre close to the limit. I've swapped the tyre for the spare which was better. All 4 tyres should now last around another year and all are Dunlops. It also has quite a neat hidden, detatchable towbar with twin electrics, behind a removable panel in the bumper (I've not tested this, but presume it works).
There's some bits of history with it up to 1998, but not much after, but you can tell it's been looked after. It has a fairly new looking radiator and appears generally well kept. It had trouble starting from cold (had to do about 15 cycles on the glowplugs when reeally cold!) so I replaced them, except I forgot that it was 6 cylinder and only ordered 4 Therefore, it's 100x better than it was, but if it's been left overnight, you need to cycle them 2-3 times, then it's fine. I'm sure if you were to do the remaining 2 it would start after 1 cycle. All other times it starts instantly.
There is a slight rattle from the OSF over bumps, it's a worn anti-roll bar link. I intended to fit a new one but don't have the correct socket, so I'll just supply it with the car. Other than that it drives well; steers and stops straight, goes well and sounds quite nice for a diesel! I've done around 150 miles in it and grown quite attached to wafting about in it. Also has that nice BMW clunk when you close the door
Bodywork is clean and straight for the year. Bonnet edge is stonechipped as expected, one arch has a small bubble, there are several small dents/marks but nothing worrying enough to photograph. The interior is clean and tidy with the usual wear to the driver's seat.
Seems quite good on diesel and I'm pretty sure it's ok to run on veg oil (I think it's a bosch pump, same engine was used in the Range Rover and Omega). Old fashioned indirect injection, no DPF, DMF etc etc to worry about.
Any questions please ask
