NICE - Nearly identical to mine, apart from mines a 95 M.

How much did it cost? What's the mileage? What colour is it?

thanks for all the nice comments.

its metallic green & I will more than likely swap the wheels for the ones on my 520 prior to selling it.

what are the 540 wheels you have got available graham & have they got tyres ?

dont get the car till friday but I cant wait

hi,

anyone know if this e32 interior on ebay will fit my car (at the top).

Ebay ref:4566591519.

I have heard that e32 front seats are fine & that the backs go but get a bit scrunched up.


cheers

Don't rush to change those metrics. I think those
weels are the some of the nicest you can get for the
E34, the deep dish really suits the car. I've stuck with
mine and while, the tyres are not cheap but they will
last for a number of years, I am 4 years into mine
and still pleanty of tread. I have no complaints either
regarding wet weather handling.

thanks darren.

don,what is the deal with metric wheels anyway,are the tyres much more expensive ?These are in excellent condition(wheels & tyres).

I may change them to the ones on my existing 520 which I will probably sell anyway.

this is my existing car with the wheels mentioned on :

Nice looking car m8

But i have got to agree with Don those metrics you have on your new car really are some of the best looking for the e34 , better infact then the e34 sport metrics, and i think a lot better than the ones you have at the moment, personaly id keep them.

AS for the interior have a look at this: M5 Memory leather

yep,

i think I will keep the metric wheels,they look a lot more classy than my others.

I think the difference is my 520 needed tweaking to make it look any good but this doesnt.

thanks for your comments

Yep, keep the metrics - I prefer them on mine and I've got 8 spare in the shed, which I won off EBay - cost me £11 in total !!!

I don't think you will regret it Paul. There is a lot to be
said for keeping a car as nice as yours genuine.
Another bonus to those metrics is the sturdy
shoulder on the tyres, it is virtally impossible to kerb
the alloys. Mine are 10 years old and blemish free.
