Desirable 5spd manual with economical 2L straight six
Only five registered UK keepers
Large history file of maintenance
MOT to February 2026 with no advisories
The Appeal
The E34 is close to classic saloon car perfection. Built in an era before technology replaced engagement and made cars overly complicated, a good example works well as a daily driver.
This car would do that job exceptionally well. It is arguably too good to use every day. With just 57,365 miles from new it wears its 30 years very lightly across the interior an exterior. That is a testament to BMW’s build quality but also the care of its five UK keepers.
Finished in popular Arktisgrau metallic with a hardwearing grey fabric interior, it is a well-appointed SE model with the silky 150bhp straight six 2L motor. Enthusiasts will note the 5spd gearbox in place of the more common auto.
A thick history file attests to the care of those keepers and it comes to market with advisory-free MOT to February 2026. This is a very well-preserved example of a great saloon.
