My old BMW Shed

In a anti Lude phase, I broke my last lude and from the sale of the engine with cash to spare i bought this

Was meant to do a rally but never made it, but had been serviced ready for long haul trips

BMW E34 535 3.5L Straight 6 - 211bhp and it cost £350

Took the stickers off

Then took it to Santa Pod and did this

It was a turd in every sense, but I do miss it, it handled like a boat, scared the crap out of me when it went sideways when I wasn't expecting it (Be a different story if i had it now) But it went like jobby off a shovel in a straight line, even returned 29mpg on a long run.

Ended up giving it way for the engine to go into a 3 series BMW for one of our school cars at drifting, but the deal went south and it all got weighed in :cry:

Still miss it's barge like crusing, just not the corners so much

RIP

Epic car! Was thinking of a straight 6 5 series a little while back, but with my driving the petrol would bankrupt me :( my cousin has a '91 3 series coupe that should be coming my way at some point, but it's only a 1.6! Still, RWD would be fun :twisted:

316's are had work to get sideways, they don't have much power so the only way is speed, which if your learning to drift is a tad scary
