Man with that money in addition to a bit more, you could find yourself an M5. maybe a bit more money, but you get the gist.

Do the mounts sooner than later, worn mounts can cause all sorts of strange issues.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give that site a look.

www.rockauto.com has some good prices too. as a member of the $200 motor mount club, i feel your pain

There's one dealer that gives great discounts to 8-series owners on parts for their cars, although I think you have to provide proof that you actually own an 8 series to get the discount. This dealer is where I get all the parts I need for my '94 840, basically at cost. The only high-$$$ part I've had to get so far was a fuel pump assembly (knock on wood).

Maybe hunt around on BMW forums / roadfly for something similar? Some sort of BMW club you can join that has an agreement with certain dealers for a parts discount?

Nice E34, BTW :thumbsup:

that's why these cars are worth about as much as a honda civic from the same year. if you can afford to maintain one of these, you can afford a nicer car in the first place.

yes nice car

if you can afford it keep it

if not freak that ish

hehe

Dealership is full of crap.

So how is all this playing out? Having any luck with parts and such?

Going out this weekend to put the radiator in, we would have done it a lot earlier except the radiator clips were so old and brittle we had to buy new ones. Also going to put the new oil supply line.
