Not mine, but I inquired when it was selling at $3500, but was ~50th inline. The bidding went over $10k. Definitely keeping an eye on this one, I expect it to go over $20k.

Why would you do white centers for the seats good price for the condition/miles though

[RobZR]

and another for the "Why would you" category.

Why of all the E34's you could import, you would choose the most anemic of them all, and find one in a touring.

it looks in great condition, but it's screaming for a heart transplant.

That is an odd model. Maybe it was just super cheap and they will make the highest profit? Sucks there are no interior shots.

I drove this car and took the pics for him. Sweet car, but very rough around the edges and I am not a huge fan of silver.. 50+MPGS is very tempting for a sweet daily though.

The rattle-canned engine with overspray on all of the hoses is my favorite part.

Curiously, thats just how trucks are from the factory. Helps show what’s original and what’s not????

The Ultimate E34 is for Sale.

one of these days I'll get mine that  clean.

[straight6pwr]

gorgeous car, for sure. all the upgrades!

i bet the bringatrailer monkeys fuddled with the engine designation. it should be called an m60b44, or an m60 stroker. the m62tu suggests it has vanos, which this car wouldnt have anymore with m60 heads.

Super cool car, looks like the drivers door was repainted or something at one point.

Since, the m60b44 designation was never used by BMW, and if a TU short block was used for the frankenmotor I could see their confusion.  In my view, it's better without the vanos.

I would venture the car has had a respray in it's life since it had north of 250k before the Frankenstein conversion/restoration.  It's great props to Jason's restoration and the Socal climate that it looks this unbelievable now.  The detail pics are just mind boggling. The black wood trim, the euro touches like the drivers glove box, etc.  Who goes and reupholsters new racing seats with m-cloth and adds seat heaters on a tuner build.  You have to know these cars well to see the little details.
