the E34 5'ers are REALLY GOOD AND RELIABLE CARS!!!

There are a couple of non-casa bimmer specialists that can trouble shoot the E34 and that their labor will not cost you an arm and a leg. You can order parts from Basics in Libis. Moroever, the casas have rationalized their prices for "wear & tear" parts so its not that expensive anymore.

Make sure that the E34 you're planning to buy is in good running condition. That car is built to last.

i agree. yan ang everyday car ko dito, ang i've put
160,000 miles into it...so far, water pump pa lang ang nasira
and it still runs good. 5 series din ang kukunin ko pag
nandyan nako sa pinas.

Beware of faulty MAF sensors and knock sensors, they can cause the ECU to fry... usually caused by improper engine washing. My friend experienced this and an engine wash session sa gas station resulted to a P85,000 damage bill.

Guys,

The BMW Car Club has an EB at the UCC Fort on Saturday 7 AM.
To those who might be interested to meet up other bimmer owners and maybe join this club, you are welcome to drop by.

Look for me or Woodfire (if you're attending man), or our cars.

I guess, Chris Bangle has a lot of detractors Even in our club (BMWClubPhils), he has been criticized a lot.

BUT, his designs have become sales hit in Europe and the U.S. particularly the Z4 and the new 5-Series! The profile of the buyers of the bimmers are younger and more open minded about designs.In fact, BMW has in the past three years beaten MB, Volvo, and Audi in sales growth.
