does this car have the electric headrests etc?

I'll never forget, back in 2008, when i still owned my e30 325i, there was a white MANUAL 535i e34 with ALL THE OPTIONS here at prestige motors in brackenfell, it was a car from pietersburg, was forsale for like 40k, i was so tempted to flog my 325i for it... then i did homework on fuel economy and realised it'd would not of worked for a daily...

Beautiful car, and congratulations on finding such a well-cared for example. Please post photos of the car when the proper E34 rims have been fitted.

Decades ago, a previous boss of mine drove an E34 535i which I always lusted after. It is good to know that this one is in good hands.

This one is a collectors piece! This is the kind of car BMW will hunt you down for just to display at one of their special events/launches!

Breath taking condition! :praise:

Yeah the.e32/e34 v8 730i/530i has basically.same.power.as 6cyl 535i but.supposedly.5mpg better fuel consumption, so itd figure that.the 540i/740i v8 would have about.the same.consumption as the 6cyl 535i. HOWEVER,the m30 motors, m30b28 m30b35 etc are totally.bulletprooof motors..they will run forever, its commonplace.on forums guys talking.of.600 000+ MILES. So its a totally.overbuilt.motor. Infact apparently goood.for.over 200 reliable kw with stock internals.... Only.issue is the cam spray bolts afaik but thats like.150.00 from agents..

Yup, the M30 is one of BMW's great motors - incredibly strong, and a classic in its own lifetime. In many respects, it fits better with the E34 than the later V8 motors.
