Leeds_182 E34 Daily

Such a lovely car jim but i do think its either the master cylinder or slave cylinder that isnt letting the fluid return and holding the clutch slightly. Dont forget to tell him to check.

Didnt the guy say it had had a slave on it recently for some reason? Could be the same problem. Master cylinder or the pipe breaking down inside

I shall pass that on.

Shame about the clutch. Love an E34

It always amazes me that folk are able to sell cars in that state ie obviously abused. When I’m looking for a car and see something like this I run a mile lol.

Love an e34 touring though, great looking cars in the flesh and rare too

Because it has banded steels on? I had bandeds on my 340 and 940 and they were never ‘drifted’ in my ownership!

Other than it needing a clutch it appears to be a good car! I’m guessing if it was on standard Bmw wheels it would never have been drifted?

Sorry for the defensive reply but I find your comment slightly ridiculous.

Go on, how is it obviously abused?

Have you seen the car in the flesh? Have you seen how straight the bodywork is? Hove you seen how many cobwebs and leaves there are around the car due to not being used?

No, so how can you make comments like that. I bet its cleaner than most modern cars

Always remember opinions are like arseholes, everyone’s got one, and I’m an arsehole.

I just think it looks to have been abused, sorry if that’s upset you lol.

Banded steels, budget tyres. Just my thoughts. I like it otherwise.

I dont understand how it can look abused? Every single one of my cars gets death everytime i get in them but i wash n polish them. Would you say mine look abused? No.

So why does it look abused?

Cracking purchase. That red one above is epic.

Are you doing the clutch yourself? If so, be sure to grease the release bearing where you should, I didn’t when I did the clutch on my z4, and whilst it worked perfectly, it squeaked as you let off the clutch in slow traffic for 50k miles. Drove me nuts!

I’ve been for a look round Jim’s bmw and say 100% it not been drifted, the previous owner was very safety conscious about the car rolling away when parked up going by the added handbrake :smile:

To be fair I very rarely went on a straight line in either of these banded beasts.

I'll pop down too, so I can pretend to know what you're all talking about on the topic of mechanics, all whilst I'm just waiting for you to rev it and do a skid.

What is the longest you've kept a car out of curiosity? only because I'm jealous, you manage to change cars more than I 'THINK' about changing cars!

I’ve had my Audi nearly 8 years now. I just change the ‘fun’ car every now and again.

I’m an expert at it now. Nod and smile, nod and smile.

Both Vo's were ace! The 340 looked mega s**t when you bought it, but you a proper job turning it around

 

[Goodj]

There seems to be a bit of a theme emerging in your posts lately... can't think why. :smiley:

OP, it's nice, but it's definitely seen a few roundabouts :tongueout:

It's good to have a (relatively achievable) dream

 

[leeds_182]

Clutch fitted.

 

[Goodj]

Any news on if there's a diff, or just a live axle?

Did you do it yourself? Look well under there?

That’s a little bit beyond my capabilities! Have been underneath and she’s remarkably clean for a 28yr old car.

Don’t be daft! Other than getting the exhaust off and 300 headshields, it’s an easy enough job!

It's between e34 and mk1 laguna for the comfiest seats I've ever had in a car

 

[leeds_182]

Found some leather that I’m tempted by.

 

[KitsonRis]

Looks like a tidy one.
Shame about the clutch going
This is mine, 535i

That interior is nice, just like mine the grey leather. Super comfy.

Volvo S60 seats are amazing.

 

[leeds_182]

Previous owner had covered the trim in some gloss black vinyl so peeled that all off today to expose the ‘wood’.

 

[cat171]

Leather will look better in there, I'd have thought that grey interior you showed should clean up quite well. Bought it yet ?

 

[Cookson]

Noooooo, not grey leather. Its awful
