E34 540i Touring: Problems???

[e30-323ti]

Hi Guy's,
New to this part of the board

I am looking at buying a '95 540i Touring, it has done 72,000km and has a full BMW service history and is in immaculate condition.

Can you guy's point out some of the common faults with this model, and should I be expecting any trouble from it??

Thanks heaps.

I don't think there was a E34 540iT... I've seen a 530 but never a 540.
Maybe in Europe but not in USA.

check front end suspension, see if it has had the nickle cell engine block problem

We get the Euro models here in NZ, the the 540iT.
Alusil engine ('95).
The control arm bushes, noted.
What about this self-leveling non-sense, is it problematic??

Yes it can be, but it's easy to delete and change to a sport spring/shock setup. Or you can just replace the self leveling shocks when they start to leak if you like to keep her a stocker.
