TRUST ME. BUY an e34. Buy the Very best you can find. travel Unlimited Miles & Hours on the road to Find the Very Best one. Igor Blyat, Where Are you ? I'm England UK. Buy a 1993 -6 e34 520i / 525i Manual box. They are the Best & last. DO NOT buy e39. They are NOT On Anyone's Wanted List Globally they are Scrap . Don't be Fooled , an e34 is Twice the car of an e39. Watch More Videos. & Hear what owners Say. e34 535i is good but older type engine from the 1970's. ?? M50, or Old Style 535 ? both are Good. AVOID 3.0 V8 / 4.0 V8 1992 onwards. They are A Nightmare & Total FAILURE. STAY AWAY from 1992 onwards BMW V8's or buy as Scrap. BMW V8's are FOOLS GOLD. SIX is Better than 8 in a BMW.

[@bmxismylife123]

I own the aforementioned M20 525i though mine's been rebuilt and stroked from a 2.5 to 2.8. Here in Europe the most desirable E34s are the 525i and above because of the wiring that these cars come with. You can pretty much get a bone stock 525i that has 0 extras and tune it to your liking. Throw in a full OBC, electric seats, cruise control etc. The least desirable ones that will likely not go up in value are 518i, 520i and the diesel variants. By the way, the pros of the M20B25 is that it's also easy to work on, though it does need a valve adjustment every once in a while and it's also running a timing belt instead of a timing chain.

[@StacheCam]

Thanks for sharing some info on m20 motor !

[@arttafil6792]

Detective Malaysian Cancer, Just make sure you change that belt religiously at about 60,000 miles because M20’s are interference engines.

[@strang3majik]

I've owned one of each except for the M5, and I too love the 540i/6. The 530i/5 and the 525i/5 are tied for second...I really don't know which is more fun as they feel similar in power, and the 525i is better on gas, but the v8 sound made me love my 530i. 535i is cool, but, like the m20 525i, they're old school and I'd rather have those engines in an e28. Like an idiot, I'm without an e34 right now, but...another 540i/6 is in the future. The best insight I can give to new owners...if you're happy with how fast it is with your only real aftermarket option being a supercharger, 540i is the way to go. If you want the ability to make a 750hp turbo monster with tons of engine/clutch options, go 525i. Any e34 is a good e34, though. Sub'd!

[@StacheCam]

Tyler Majka you are deep in the e34 as well ! Thanks for the additional information, I suck at explaining stuff. You not missing much. Driving the m5 is a different beast but in reality m5 is just a tad bit fast. And torque curve is different. Really pulls in higher rpms. Unlike 540 which feels torquey everywhere lol

Thanks for this awesome comparison! This is by far the best video with different E34 engines I've seen. It's great to see there are people who appreciate these great machines! I owe two 535s with manual gearboxes. One of them is my daily with 430k km on the clock, fitted with LPG which makes it as economic as a modern VW Golf. It's very comfy compared to modern cars because of these 15'' BBS and solid suspension - you can do very long trips and not feel tired at all. I managed to fit the AC which is not a standard for this car. In terms of performance it's not as great as it used to be but it's still pulls and it always gets me from point A to B. The other one is about 230k km, it's stays hibernated in the garage and I only take it out for a spin during summer weekends. I owe another E46 330ci individual but if I ever had to sell any of them, the E46 is the first to go.

He is the type of guy who likes changing cars all the time, but still, almost 10 years later he still does not regret selling 535i for some ridiculous money. It had great gas mileage for what it was, it was running like crazy and had the best equipment package you could get.

Very good inputs , right to the point ! Thank you for sharing with us all your impressions .... I have been owing a 1992 525i auto - unfortunately - for 7.5 years now. It is my hwy summer car and has now 211,000 km - I am in Canada - , engine runs flawlessly . It's known that M50 and M30 are one of the best BMW engines ever made. I was looking for a manual 525i or 535i but find one in Canada with no rust and/or decent mileage ! Virtually impossible . So 3 years ago I bought a manual 2002 530i with low mileage - 115,000 km - which I am enjoying in the summer as well It should not be too much difference in gas expenses between 525i and 535i. Yes M50 engine is more economical but 91 gas is mandatory while M30 would run fine with 87 octane. So even if 525i would eat 15-20% less gas the difference disappears considering the 20% higher price of 91 vs 87 octane gas. 535i obviously will have more punch - 7.7 sec vs 8.9 sec for 0-100km/hr - vs manual 525i.

Heard you mentioned your in Cali i have a m52 swapped 525i has more power but also still saves gas and also kept the m50 manifold keep up the vids it inspired me to keep my e34 ahah

[@6wermz]

Are you using a filter on your camera to film this? If so what is it? Makes me think of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Shaka!

[@REALSHYT666]

Okay so I have a 535i 5spd and am working on it and want to know everything I can about it so thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏. Wanting to Learn all I can about it

[@StacheCam]

Dirt Drop Garage it was a short brief into the 535 but I’ll will make more !

[@KurtofTrades]

The smile you had at the start of the M5 part tells the whole story. Hope to get one in a few years. One tip, you repeated a few things like 4 times, just for some feedback, I like it though.

[@StacheCam]

Kurt of Trades appreciate that ! Yeah I suck at making videos.

[@Haris.K]

I own a 518i, Europe edition only, and although it's not "that" fast, it still is fast enough for a 1.8L, 1800kg car, plus it doesn't burn that much gas. And, this straight 4 cylinder (m40b18) engine seems immortal ! E34, 30yo classic car, I simply love it and I hope it'll die after me... ✌️ (P. - S. Love your work StacheCam)

[@bz1mm]

Love my 530i. Woulda waited for a 540i but it was 1 owner and couldn’t resist. Been awesome to me, the V8 makes a great sound and *knock on wood* has been pretty reliable. You can pick one up for cheap, too. I will say, though, my average MPG according to the data computer is 19.8, and that’s driving like a maniac.

[@StacheCam]

Ben Zimmerman you can always make it a 540 later lol 😂

[@e34stella72]

[@DannyMatthewsRC]

First e34 was a non vanos 525 and i loved it as my lil daily beater. Parted with that car and kept my eye out daily for 2.5 years for another e34. Saw a 535 and was hesitant cuz I knew the m50 in and out, but I couldn't love it more. m30s are fuckin tanks. my current e34 is a m30 and before last week it sat, not being ran inna year, new battery, fresh gas and she fired right up with no hesitation. 535 for life gang

[@waterlover]

Yo Stache when ever you want to do a trip to the real down south let me know. We can do a trip to Ensenada have a little ranch there . Have a place to stay and the beach is just a few minutes away.

[@StacheCam]

That’ll be sick !!

[@yellowjoe.2000]

Awesome video. Outside USA, the 525i M50 comes with ZF 5HP18 5 speed automatic transmission. Do you think a turbo m50 525i 5 speed automatic will be nice for a highway and straightline cruiser?

[@Xanarch_Vigil]

I pick up a gold 95 540i, with 144,000 miles and the auto trans for $1500. No rust. I want to manual swap it, but my local junkyards mostly only have 525's

Fun car man ! Easy to fix as well

[@e36jensen]

Broo, sick lineup!! One question are you familiar with ews system bcus I swapped my car with m50b25 nv from 1991 and my car is from 1995 but the starter works but fuel pump and spark isn’t there. I think ews is causing a problem I Already tried some things -Ews plus 1-3 short cut and pin 4 cut -Pin 7 cut x20

You might need a later ecu 🥲

1-Find a *clean* manual 530i 2-B44 bottom with B40 heads (AKA M60B44) 3-Headers,tune 4- 6 speed and LSD 5-Velvet dices or J-String So much win

Informative video. thank you. question, would you take a yr 92 M30 535i 4 speed auto or yr 95 M50 525i 5 speed automatic?

[@slightlypermafried]

e34, e32, and e30s are all a lot harder to find in junk yards, at least here in norcal. A few years ago I was about to find a 635 with world series bumpers.. but the time is all gone now, save them while you can. I got a m50 e30, 635csi/5, and a 540i/6. Love them all in their own ways but the 540i is the best to drive imo. The e30 handles amazingly well but I'm 6'6" and enjoy bigger cars.

got a 91 525i. where is a good site you recommand to get replacment parts/ addons? thanks for the dope vids!!

forsure sometime I need a b40. e34's with v8's are just gangster

[@mrocklop]

Don't be scared to daily the M5! She wants to be driven hard, as long as you warm her up. Judging by the smile on your face, I can tell which one you like most... You do NOT need to spend 10k rebuilding the engine every other year... with proper valve adjust every 30k or so, fluid changes and warm up time it will go over 200k easy. Is it a 3.6 or 3.8? One thing you may want to do to your S38 is upgrade the timing chain to E36 M3 timing chain. I did the head gasket on my 3.6, timing chain, clutch and main seal, radiator and steering linkage and it was pricey but not 10k. Came in around 7k, and now my craigslist M5 drives like new (in for about 15k total, and still needs paint...). Only time the car ever let me down was when a gas pump went, consider replacing that if it's over 15 years old. Awesome channel man, thanks for sharing.

[@ericjohnson3332]

Love my 93 525iA, drives so nice and I get 30.2 mpg highway. I'd love to own the whole range of E34. Stache you should import a 525TDS, they are still reasonably priced and have great power, reliability and great MPG!

[@alexismarin4931]

Great channel! I got a 520i in Germany with a Roof rack. Love the size of the basket you have on your M5. What are the dimensions? Or link to buy one?

I asked the Service Manager at my BMW MAIN DEALER, What do i look for on buying a used e34 ? Careful Owner, service History, No Obvious Faults. He Said, We Sell them, Service them & very rarely Fix anything on them. If it's a Good one, You Should Buy It. It will NOT GO Wrong !! He was 100% Right there. I have bought As many as i can Find at the right price. Any other car i bought would be a BMW e30 Convertible . or Mazda MX5 or New Fiat 124 Spider.

[@aceofspades9845]

I was looking into getting an e34 520i as my first car, but couldn't find any decent ones around, so I ended up getting an e39 520d. Living in Europe kinda limits engine size if you're on a budget.
