Always get a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a BMW specialist, focusing on rust, cooling system, and electrical components.
Check for signs of rust in common areas like wheel arches, sills, and under the battery tray.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks, cracked hoses, or a discolored expansion tank, as it's a critical weak point.
Test all electrical components, including windows, sunroof, climate control, and dashboard lights, for proper function.
Look for a car with documented service history to ensure it has been well-maintained throughout its life.
Budget for immediate maintenance and potential repairs, as even well-kept E34s will require attention due to age.
Consider the engine choice: M50 B25 is often praised for reliability, while V8s (M60) offer more power but can be more complex.
