  • Sup brothers ! im horrible at making these videos lol but im slowly getting better !! in summary
    525 pros: Great smiles per gallon 7/10 M50 easy to work on, Least maintenance, fairly cheap, Best bang for your buck, Easily modified motor shout out to the e36 peeps,
    525 Cons: Slowest of them all.
    530 pros: Could easily add 60hp by motor swappign m60b40. sounds amazing. underdog of the e34s
    530 cons: Not fast for a v8, bad smile per gallon rating 5/10 tough to work on (space wise)
    535 pros: now this is the easiest to work on, very simple, cheap parts only 12 valves and single cam, great sound, smiles per gallon rating 7/10, reliable motors, great motor to turbo, baby m5
    535 cons: valve adjustment often. older tech, bad mpgs
    540 pros: FREAKING FUN TO DRIVE, parts are available, can fix it if it breaks, smiles per gallon rating 10/10, great sounds, fast, 2019 base model fast lol
    540 cons: cramp engine bay, not many upgrades available, mpgs not so good, expensive parts
    M5 pros: ITS A M5, own total bragging rights, rising in price, hand built motor, not hard to work on, smiles per gallon 10/10
    M5 cons: not many upgrades and it can get EXPENSIVE. Dont break s38 specific parts cause they are nonexistence any more, looks better in the garage. btw if its a wagon version of any of these forsure the wagon is best!

      TRUST ME. BUY an e34. Buy the Very best you can find. travel Unlimited Miles & Hours on the road to Find the Very Best one.
      Igor Blyat, Where Are you ?
      I'm England UK.
      Buy a 1993 -6 e34 520i / 525i Manual box. They are the Best & last.
      DO NOT buy e39. They are NOT On Anyone's Wanted List Globally they are Scrap .
      Don't be Fooled ,
      an e34 is Twice the car of an e39. Watch More Videos. & Hear what owners Say.
      e34 535i is good but older type engine from the 1970's. ?? M50, or Old Style 535 ? both are Good.
      AVOID 3.0 V8 / 4.0 V8 1992 onwards. They are A Nightmare & Total FAILURE.
      STAY AWAY from 1992 onwards BMW V8's or buy as Scrap.
      BMW V8's are FOOLS GOLD.
      SIX is Better than 8 in a BMW.

    Thanks for this awesome comparison! This is by far the best video with different E34 engines I've seen. It's great to see there are people who appreciate these great machines! I owe two 535s with manual gearboxes. One of them is my daily with 430k km on the clock, fitted with LPG which makes it as economic as a modern VW Golf. It's very comfy compared to modern cars because of these 15'' BBS and solid suspension - you can do very long trips and not feel tired at all. I managed to fit the AC which is not a standard for this car. In terms of performance it's not as great as it used to be but it's still pulls and it always gets me from point A to B. The other one is about 230k km, it's stays hibernated in the garage and I only take it out for a spin during summer weekends. I owe another E46 330ci individual but if I ever had to sell any of them, the E46 is the first to go.

    New to the E34 world. I got extremely lucky and found a white 95 540i/6. Has K-Sport Coilovers, headers, resonator with the rest straight, and its sitting on M-pars.This car is a huge change from my 04 WRX and its SO FUCKING GOOD! The sound of the M60 is literally intoxicating. I got it in a trade for a lifted jeep and at first I was sad I didn't react in time to snag a m60b40/6spd swapped touring but I've fallen in love with the e34 regardless if its a sedan or touring. Cant wait to have it out in Cali. Keep up the great vids man!

    I have the M20b25 on my '90 525 and it has an incredible sound. I've even heard mine do that bmw crackle on a downshift it's so sick. It's not fast by any means, but you just feel pure happiness by putting your foot on the floor. It's beyond amazing for a daily, and as you've said parts are dirt cheap. I've basically rebuilt my whole car and I don't think I have any more than $2k into it, including the purchase, and it's pretty damn mint. I average about 22.5mpg, which is the same as my old car that was a 2.0 four banger. Very impressed.

    I own the aforementioned M20 525i though mine's been rebuilt and stroked from a 2.5 to 2.8. Here in Europe the most desirable E34s are the 525i and above because of the wiring that these cars come with. You can pretty much get a bone stock 525i that has 0 extras and tune it to your liking. Throw in a full OBC, electric seats, cruise control etc. The least desirable ones that will likely not go up in value are 518i, 520i and the diesel variants. By the way, the pros of the M20B25 is that it's also easy to work on, though it does need a valve adjustment every once in a while and it's also running a timing belt instead of a timing chain.

    Very good inputs , right to the point ! Thank you for sharing with us all your impressions ....
    I have been owing a 1992 525i auto - unfortunately - for 7.5 years now. It is my hwy summer car and has now 211,000 km - I am in Canada - , engine runs flawlessly . It's known that M50 and M30 are one of the best BMW engines ever made.
    I was looking for a manual 525i or 535i but find one in Canada with no rust and/or decent mileage ! Virtually impossible .
    So 3 years ago I bought a manual 2002 530i with low mileage - 115,000 km - which I am enjoying in the summer as well
    It should not be too much difference in gas expenses between 525i and 535i. Yes M50 engine is more economical but 91 gas is mandatory while M30 would run fine with 87 octane. So even if 525i would eat 15-20% less gas the difference disappears considering the 20% higher price of 91 vs 87 octane gas.
    535i obviously will have more punch - 7.7 sec vs 8.9 sec for 0-100km/hr - vs manual 525i.

    Man I love you! Been looking for comparisons on all models, ended up with E34 530i resto with M60b40. Fun fun fun and like you said, I can beat on it tune it and no one cares. My E36 M3 is a bit like you with the M5 so could totally relate! You could borrow peoples cars and do this with other makes and models or do E36 etc. Really fn cool man!

    A fellow e34 owner. 91' 535i to be exact, true what you say its pretty easy to work on. Ask me how I know, may have over payed at $900 canadian but every time I see it I smile. Love your collection, having an e34 ///M5 is a goal for sure. My 535i is alpine white too, hoping to get 16x8 style 5's like yours soon. Y'all should do a collab video with ButlerHQ.

    I own a 518i, Europe edition only, and although it's not "that" fast, it still is fast enough for a 1.8L, 1800kg car, plus it doesn't burn that much gas. And, this straight 4 cylinder (m40b18) engine seems immortal ! E34, 30yo classic car, I simply love it and I hope it'll die after me... ✌️ (P. - S. Love your work StacheCam)

    Gotta say I agree with the comment about the M50 525 being a solid car "because you can just beat on it." Some guys I know got a $400 one, stripped the interior, cut the springs, added a cage, and entered it into a LeMons race without much other prep. That car took 16 hours of flogging around the track with zero problems.

    When you rebuild the E34 suspensions, the 7 series suspension components all fit and are extra heavy duty. As for the E34 M5 get the M38 3.8 liter 340 hp engine. With a little tweaking it’ll reward you with about 400 hp!

    I've owned one of each except for the M5, and I too love the 540i/6. The 530i/5 and the 525i/5 are tied for second...I really don't know which is more fun as they feel similar in power, and the 525i is better on gas, but the v8 sound made me love my 530i. 535i is cool, but, like the m20 525i, they're old school and I'd rather have those engines in an e28. Like an idiot, I'm without an e34 right now, but...another 540i/6 is in the future.
    The best insight I can give to new owners...if you're happy with how fast it is with your only real aftermarket option being a supercharger, 540i is the way to go. If you want the ability to make a 750hp turbo monster with tons of engine/clutch options, go 525i.
    Any e34 is a good e34, though.

    My friend here in Serbia had 3 e34-s, 520i with 12 valves and 127 horsepower, gray, black 535i that was, from his stories heavily modified in Germany before it came here, it was way different than any other e34 he ever drove or owned, and then he had 520i with 150 horsepower. He is the type of guy who likes changing cars all the time, but still, almost 10 years later he still does not regret selling 535i for some ridiculous money. It had great gas mileage for what it was, it was running like crazy and had the best equipment package you could get. He hooked me up to those monsters, I want to get 525i 24v after college and completely restore it. I am broke student and my current car is 98' Yugo that I improved quite a bit with my father.

    In the future I'm clearly sure that I will buy m20b25 to have more power but louder sound, and then i will think about a turbo to make it stronger.
