FS: 1990 E34 535i 5-speed Nicely Modded - SF Bay Area

[DarthMaul]

I need to make some room in my garage and have to sell my daily driver. I've owned this car for over 2 years and put about 20k miles on it with no major repairs. The only parts I've had to replace were the front control arms and bushings (common for a LOT of 5 series cars) due to the dreaded "50-60mph shimmy".

I have two years worth of maintenance records (repairs, oil changes, tires, etc)

Longtime BMW CCA member!

I've made some very nice and tasteful mods to the car. Nothing flashy or non-functional. The HID headlights are probably the best modification to the car (excellent cut-off and visibility at night). I've added a UUC short shifter to clean up most of the slopiness common to older manual transmission cars. It's very precise and short.

If you know BMWs and their engines the M30 "big six" motor is widely known as the most reliable motor built. It's common to have well over 200k miles on them witn no issues.
