E34 Forum Suggestions/experiences

[welshpug 1,657]

Need to read up a bit on these, specifically a 93 525 TDS Touring model, auto box.

 

Wondering wheres best to look for info on fixing faults, possible mods etc, I'm guessing gsf and ecp cater for them still as well as my local motorfactors, any other specific suppiers?

 

Only two specific issues are that theres a sensor of some kind on the transmission that causes a hesitation from standstill sometimes, not the speedo though as that works fine.

 

Secondly it has a MASSIVE double panel steel sunroof, which leaks a bit, I'm hoping just blocked drains but the mechanism isnt working fully, i havent played with it at all though.

forum.bmw5.co.uk was where I used to go when I had an E39 535. There's some knowledgeable guru's on there.

Another vote for form.bmw5

 

I had an E34 535i Sport a few years ago. Loved it.

 

The guys on that forum are very knowledgable and helpful

Thanks guys, I'll have a look, I found RealOEM earlier.

 

Looking at the forum you mentioned I remembered that a friend of an aquaintance works at Cotswold BMW, rallies a MK2 escort and has had a hand in building many rally pugs.

Just my sense of humour. In the second photo it looks a little abandoned.
