Thanks guys! Yeah i'd love to get ITB's for the Mark 2 but they're quite pricey and hard to find.


We in this BiH


Yep, i'm now in Bosnia with Phonexius to help in his cousin's shop and build some nice cars as both me and him already told y'all. You've probably seen this E92 too, i was very surprised to see such a modded example, especially in a country like this! Here in the Balkans people usually modify older cars, like E30s or Mk2 Golfs. But this one was something special for sure! The Liberty Walk bodykit and the wheels really make it stand out, well maybe this is not so unique in USA but it's a whole different story here.


Fitment is so well done on this thing!! With deep dish wheels and a wide body kit it's just perfect.


You'd think it's all show and no go but it has a few performance mods too! Ben's cousin doesn't race it or anything like that but he does some pulls occasionally, for example when i asked him how fast this thing goes haha. I can say it's very powerful for just a 328Ci, not what i thought before! Otherwise it's more of a show and cruise car than anything else.


And now the reason for even posting this - Phonexius and i were searching for a car to drive around so we won't need to take his cousin's E92 every time. However i wouldn't mind it! :P Anyway, he found this E34 and i immediately knew he'd go for it. It took us some time to drive there but it was totally worth it, it was quite enjoyable with the E92 anyway. Now prepare for a surprise, we got this for 2200 Bosnian marks which is a bit under 1300V$!!! A bargain for a 5 series. This price tag has its reasons though, and i could see them from far away.


I was surprised to see that it's a 535i, a rare trim across Europe, especially in these parts. Overall the body looked in good shape but it was very dirty and there were quite a few scratches and rust spots, i hope it won't be too much of a problem.


Looks like the seller was used to cleaning only the essential parts like headlights and windows, like me sometimes haha. The interior was very tidy and well preserved for its age though, which was a big plus for us cause replacing interior parts can quickly get expensive for this kind of cars.


The engine bay was full of dust but mechanically everything worked just fine! Aside from cosmetics it looks like the car was properly maintained so that's one less thing to worry about. The body will need a fair bit of work but at least we can drive it.


Phonexius said that we could both drive this E34 but it got me really excited to get myself something to work on! Perhaps some kind of a project car cause it's not necessary for it to be running for now as i can borrow this one or even the E92! I'll take a look at the local classifieds, see you guys when i find something good! ;)
