I'm just trying to find the poor things history, it's very obvious it's been both loved and cherished and abused. it's had a complete respray recently that was very well done at least.
I'm glad it's mine now and I can repair it.
I have some strong words though.
Maybe you guys can afford to just go buy an M3/5/6/8 but I can't and it took me nine full years to find even one I was willing to take a chance on.
PLEASE guys, think of this. When you get your hands on a handbuilt M car of which took two full weeks to build by two teams of M technicians at the factory. This is a very rare hand made gem and I just want to cry when I see the things that have been done to her, even though she still looks good.
1) Don't drive it like a doos and then let your mechanic wreck it.
2) Don't fit giant stupid 50Kg aeroplane wings to the boot
3) Do not throw away the factory tail lights and hack in to the wiring to fit cheap chinese LED substandard crystal crap and then stick big resistors all over the boot to get rid of the errors.
4) Do not drill a bloody great big hole in the dash to fit a "start" button, go drill your Playstation if you are bored.
5) And most of all do not hacksaw out the entire rear steel shelf to fit your stupid 24" P.O.S subwoofer, put a big box in the boot if you have to but don't cut the finely tuned chassis of an M car.
Up until 1993 all M cars were hand built, do you know what that means? You will almost never ever see that in this modern era again, it's BMW heritage and it's lost forever. In South Africa this was even more special, we were the only place in the world outside of Garching Germany at the time that were ever allowed to build these M cars, and we only ever made 265 of these.
I have to now take vast/massive/huge quantities of cash and time to go and systematically undo all this stupidity to make her once again what her designers and builders intended.
If there is one of BMW's finest that I will save from humanity it's this one.
Some cars are meant to be pimped, but some were already the best they could ever be from day 1 when they drove off the factory floor.
Long live my E34 M5 this one is going to come right,...... for the love of everything BMW.....She will survive I will make sure of that
