I just bought an E34 530i. 1994, 134k, 5MT. What should I expect to replace in the first few weeks/months? I'm already doing the power steering, not entirely sure what else needs to be done at this point.
Replace the motor with an m30

not interested in an engine replacement, this one was Alusil'd like 60k miles ago

First of all, NICE. You did good dude
>generally, check/replace all regular wear items, at this age there's a ton of bits the previos owners have probably cheaped out on
>seriously, the car will improve immensely just by being brought back into a mechanically (near) perfect condition
>I know that sounds boring and expensive and means you can't post any sick mawds on forums and facebook but it's probably the best way to spend your money on the car
If I were you I'd concentrate on suspension bits. Control arms, bushings, maybe springs and dampers as well. Might as well do upgrades instead of just using spare parts
Also your front valance is missing dude

Like the concave wheels and meaty tires
Would really consider moving from my SHO to an e34 or e39, sweet cars. Nice deal
