1993 BMW E34 5-Series

This 1993 BMW 525i Touring was modified during previous ownership and is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six mated to a replacement five-speed manual transmission and a 3.23:1 limited-slip differential. The car is finished in red over beige upholstery, and equipment includes a dual-pane sunroof, 17″ Style 21 “throwing star” wheels, a Supersprint exhaust system, European-market headlights, M5-style side mirrors, power-adjustable front sport seats, red Motorsport-branded seat belts, M5 instrumentation, and a factory cassette stereo. The seller acquired the car in 2021, and subsequent service has involved resurfacing the flywheel, flushing the fluids, and replacing the rear main seal, battery, rear subframe bushings, differential side seals, CV axle boots, brake master cylinder, and air conditioning compressor. This modified E34 touring is offered at no reserve with removed exhaust components, partial service records, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name. The car was finished from the factory in Brilliant Red (308), and the seller notes areas of prior paintwork. Features include a dual-pane sunroof, Shadowline window trim, European-market headlights and bumper trim, integrated driving lights, 540i front brake ducts, M5-style side mirrors, later-model rocker panels, a rear window wiper, and polished twin exhaust outlets. Additional close-up images of the finish and trim are included in the gallery below. Silver 17″ Style 21 “throwing star” wheels exhibit curb rash on the driver-side rear wheel and are mounted with 235/45 Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 tires. The four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes have been upgraded with 345mm front rotors, red-finished F30 3-Series front calipers, and E34 M5-based rear calipers and rotors. Additional modifications include braided stainless-steel brake lines, Sachs/Boge dampers, and M5 Touring-sourced sway bars. Work performed during current ownership included flushing the brake fluid and replacing the brake master cylinder, rear subframe bushings, and a power steering line. The interior features power-adjustable front sport seats and a rear bench trimmed in beige upholstery with a color-coordinated dashboard, later-model door panels, and carpets. Dark wood trim accents the dash and doors, and amenities include dual-zone climate control, electric windows, and a factory cassette stereo. Modifications consist of an illuminated shift knob, M5 shift surround trim, a European-market driver-side storage compartment, red Motorsport-branded seat belts and floor mats, aftermarket cupholders, and an M-branded dead pedal and door sills. The air conditioning compressor was replaced during current ownership, and the mobile phone is non-functional. The black leather-trimmed steering wheel was reportedly sourced from a 540i M Sport and frames an E34 M5-sourced instrument cluster that includes a 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 121k miles, approximately 1,500 of which have been added by the seller. The Carfax report notes a mileage inconstancy in April 2016, and true mileage is unknown. The 3.2-liter S52B32 inline-six was reportedly sourced from a 1998 M3 and installed during prior ownership. Modifications are said to consist of the following components: Schrick 256/264 camshafts 24-lb/hr fuel injectors 3.5-bar fuel pressure regulator OBD1 conversion with intake manifold M52 valve cover Dinan high-flow throttle body Turner Motorsport 3.5″ mass-air flow sensor Active Autowerke tubular exhaust manifold Supersprint exhaust mid-section Supersprint exhaust rear section Custom ECU tune by Kassel Performance of York, Pennsylvania Work performed during current ownership included flushing the coolant, changing the oil, and replacing the rear main seal and battery. Removed exhaust components accompany the car and are pictured in the gallery. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an E36 M3-sourced five-speed manual transmission and a 3.23:1 limited-slip differential. The seller states that additional work performed during current ownership included resurfacing the flywheel, flushing the clutch hydraulic fluid, and replacing the differential side seals and CV axle boots. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists the aforementioned mileage inconsistency from 2016. Registration history is displayed in New Jersey, Ohio, and Illinois from new through the most recent entry in June 2022. Filed under: 5 series, 5-series, e34
