What is the lesson? 
Just don't buy things that haven't been running for longer than you're aware of!

We learned that diesel is cool, but dealing with rare parts is obnoxious!

That goes for anything though. If you want to have the cool rare stuff, it takes a considerate amount of research, time, and knowledge, and that's just part of the fun. (for me at least)

Yeah, that aspect can be annoying.
I would hope the M51 would be more reliable though!

They got m51's in Canada so how does that make for rare parts? Lol Plus you have the VIN so you are allowed to order Euro only parts through BMW and get it usually within a week=)

That motor looks so out of place in the engine bay. It seems like it's a foot too far forward.

how do you feed the rodent in there. 

and in bronzit. that has to be the most underwhelming perfect e34 I have ever seen.

it's like opening the hood of a '69 Mustang fastback and seeing the tiny straight six in it.

Weight distribution. They also moved the battery to the engine bay. Normally it's under the rear seat.

Individual car. You could get anything you wanted if you paid for it=)

I ran the vin and the color code comes back as “sonderlackierung” and it means special paint. So it is indeed a individual, shame it’s not a slick top coupe or something
