That wouldn't be http://www.robertstern.co.uk/ by any chance?

everyone seems so impressed with their own cars i think the E34 family speaks for itself a brilliant car whatever engine and spec each have pro's annd cons but are all great 

Long live the E34

I think when stating the 2.5 is the best, what I meant was, it is the best ALLROUNDER of the pack. It does everything in a far superior way to any of it's competitors around at the time.

Yes the M5 is a fantastic car and boy if I had the space, there'd be one on my drive for sure but as grahame34m5 states, big bills are the norm. The 540 can be awesome but pushed, can be juicy and you can't forget the nikasil problem. Seriously thought of buying a very nice 540 tourer on eBay this week but head ruled heart for once!!!

Looking at mpg, handling, quality, finish, running costs and performance as a package, the 525 was IMO, the best of the bunch. I still see my 93 L diamond black 525iSEa with silver leather and AC regularly, as it only went to a neighbour up the road. And I still look at it with the same love and affection I had for it the day I bought it in July 98. Can't say that about my e39 I'm afriad. And the e34 is still mint at over 12 years old.
