EXTERIOR
This beautiful E34 model BMW 530i has been wonderfully cherished and preserved in original condition. The factory applied paint finished in BMW Alpine White (code 300) boasts an astonishing fresh and bright shine, and all panels are original, straight and damage free. Only faint and tiny blemishes to the front bumper and leading edge of the bonnet are worthy of mention to an otherwise pristine finish. Owing to BMW’s factory cavity conservation underbody protection treatment and being garaged there is no rust or corrosion whatsoever. All exterior trim, glass and lights remain in excellent order and the discreet chrome brightwork to the side windows has a glorious mirror finish. A spotless engine bay proudly displays the manufacturer’s information plates and stickers, and the supplying dealer stickers remain located within the door shuts and boot area. A classic E34 offering, rarely surpassed in this condition.
INTERIOR
The driver-orientated ergonomically designed interior showcases exemplary craftsmanship. The cloth upholstery trimmed in Silver-Grey (code 0412) is flawless and a testament to the fastidious ownership and very low mileage this example has enjoyed. The immaculate high gloss burr walnut console, transmission shift and door cappings complement the rest of the clean interior and as you sit in the driving seat behind the driver inclined dashboard, the showroom fresh appeal of this brilliant car becomes ever so apparent. The soft surface dashboard and incorporated switchgear are perfect in condition, with all functions operating as intended. The untouched first aid kit still in its cellophane wrapper completes the real ‘as new’ feel of this car. A complete toolkit is correctly housed inside the boot lid. An enthusiasts delight!
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The light metal eight cylinder unit in V8 form with 4-valve technology and 4 overhead camshafts displaces 2,997cc and offers unrivalled levels of refinement with sporting prowess. A nominal output of 218bhp at 5,800rpm and torque figures of 214lb-ft at 4,500rpm, the performance element to this machine is obvious. A top speed of 144mph is effortlessly achieved whilst 0-62mph is dealt with in 8.8 seconds. The wonderfully smooth optional Electronic/hydraulic (EH) automatic transmission with sport, economy and winter modes together with near perfect 50/50 weight distribution firmly uphold BMW’s renown for sheer driving pleasure.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The 7 J x 15 light alloy BMW wheels with cross spoke styling are immaculate with only two miniscule scuffs on the nearside rear wheel. These beautiful classic BMW wheels are wrapped in quality 225/60/R15 tyres with excellent tread remaining. The spare remains unused. The anti-lock braking system with discs all round, internally ventilated to the front, brings this executive performance contender to a straight and assured halt.
