NOW SOLD - thanks for the interest!
Model: BMW E34 525i
Year: 1990
Mileage: 120k +
MOT: No - expired in May
Quick details:
White 5 series BMW 4 speed auto with 2.5 litre straight six. MOT recently expired. Previous advisories were for brake pads and discs (I hope to upload photo of previous MOT when available).
Insurance company installed tracker around 6 years ago and car immediately developed electrical fault leading to dash wiring fire (small). Now has new dash that is all wired in - however it refuses to show mileage or record it.
Has been used as a run around by my father and mother for the last 10 years after having brief history in Italy - the dash used to praise Italy on start up(?!). Never had any mechanical issues throughout it's boring life and engine is smooth, gearbox okay - sometimes clunky in 'sport' mode. I recently drove it for 50 miles and it is very comfortable! Video link below to show start up and engage of drive.
PROBLEMS: The heater matrix has failed and if the heating is used it will fill the cabin with pretty noxious smelling vapour. It is possible to repair this however it is a pain and I cannot be bothered. Alternatively can replace matrix with a piece of pipe.
The paint work is horrible - it's probably Tipex in certain areas... rust is very minimal though! Couple of trims bits bashed about.
Windows do work - sometimes reluctant and slow. Sunroof works!
If you have any specific questions please ask in the thread.
