Hello all,
My name's Brandon. I'm from Saint Louis and I just picked up a 1995 E34 540i. I've been into cars for a long time and pretty much enjoy anything on 4 wheels. Have owned a few Japanese cars as well as American ones, but no Euros until yesterday. I picked up this E34 from a client of mine I do work for who just wanted it gone. It has 199k on the clock, unknown mileage on the engine (supposedly replaced at 90k, unconfirmed though). Schwarz II exterior and parchment interior. Needs a couple of things such as rear shocks, a passenger tail light, and a windshield along with some body moulding clips. Other than that, the car is in pretty decent shape aside from some rust on the doors and quarter panels. Definitely was worth washing up as soon as I bought her. I also have a 2007 Scion tC I've had for 6 years now that's set up for back roads and occasional track days. Hope to learn a little more about the car and look forward to chatting with you guys here.

And both cars together for the first time:
Looks nice. The engine replacement(short block) is quite plausible, BMW had "issues" with their first V-8s. Search the webs about "Nikasil" for more than you'll want to know.
welcome aboard
